The Situation

"He said he's not ready to date but takes me on dates"

The Brutal Truth

His words say he's not ready, but his actions scream confusion and mixed signals. He enjoys spending time with you without committing, playing with your emotions while keeping his options open. This is a classic case of emotional unavailability.

❌ What NOT to Do (Anxious Response)

An anxious person might cling harder, trying to prove their worth or win him over. They may overanalyze every interaction, convincing themselves that if they just did something differently, he’d change his mind. This behavior is toxic because it fosters dependency on someone who is not fully invested.
