Understanding the Mixed Signals of Physical Intimacy vs. Serious Relationships
The Situation
"She said she wants something serious but only wants physical intimacy"
The Brutal Truth
She's saying she wants a serious relationship but is only interested in physical intimacy, which means she may not be emotionally available or ready for commitment. This is a classic case of wanting companionship without the depth of connection that comes with it.
