What Does It Mean When He Says He's Not Ready for a Relationship?
The Situation
"He said 'I'm not ready for a relationship' but still texts me every day"
The Brutal Truth
He likes having you around and enjoys the attention, but he’s not committed. His daily texts serve to keep you interested without any actual relationship responsibility. It’s a manipulation tactic, keeping you on the line while he figures himself out.
❌ What NOT to Do (Anxious Response)
You might read into every message, trying to decipher his feelings or force him to make a commitment. This is wrong because it leads to anxiety and undermines your self-worth; you deserve clarity and respect, not to chase after crumbs.
💭 Something to Reflect On
What is my worth and how do I expect to be treated in relationships?
