But if he&#8217;s still keeping you around, you need to examine why.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"men-are-terrible-at-communication\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Men_Are_Terrible_at_Communication\"><\/span>Men Are Terrible at Communication<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You&#8217;ll never know what&#8217;s going on inside a man&#8217;s mind unless he chooses to tell you. When it comes to men and talking about their feelings, everyone knows they&#8217;d rather joke around than talk it out.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rather than sharing their feelings, they prefer to keep their problems inside and focus on them repeatedly before they fade away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"they-re-afraid-of-social-stigmas\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Theyre_Afraid_of_Social_Stigmas\"><\/span>They&#8217;re Afraid of Social Stigmas<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>They deal with emotions in such an improper way because that&#8217;s what society has taught them. Men find it so hard to express their feelings because there is an added social stigma attached.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"why-isn-t-he-ready-for-a-relationship\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_Isnt_He_Ready_for_a_Relationship\"><\/span>Why Isn&#8217;t He Ready for a Relationship?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" src=\"https:\/\/herlifeblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/He-Isnt-Ready-for-a-Relationship.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1892\" srcset=\"https:\/\/herlifeblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/He-Isnt-Ready-for-a-Relationship.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/herlifeblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/He-Isnt-Ready-for-a-Relationship-800x534.jpg 800w, https:\/\/herlifeblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/He-Isnt-Ready-for-a-Relationship-120x80.jpg 120w, https:\/\/herlifeblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/He-Isnt-Ready-for-a-Relationship-90x60.jpg 90w, https:\/\/herlifeblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/He-Isnt-Ready-for-a-Relationship-320x213.jpg 320w, https:\/\/herlifeblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/He-Isnt-Ready-for-a-Relationship-560x374.jpg 560w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"1-another-girl-has-broken-his-heart\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Another_Girl_Has_Broken_His_Heart\"><\/span>1. Another Girl Has Broken His Heart&nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This is the most common reason men don&#8217;t want to be in a relationship but yet won&#8217;t let you go. They&#8217;ve been <a href=\"https:\/\/herlifeblog.com\/dating\/how-to-date-someone-who-was-in-an-abusive-relationship\/\">disappointed before<\/a> and aren&#8217;t sure how to give their &#8220;all&#8221; again. For them, being in a relationship will lead to just too much pain.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Getting your heart broken can be traumatic, and can take years for someone like this to recover.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"2-he-broke-someone-else-s-heart\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_He_Broke_Someone_Elses_Heart\"><\/span>2. He Broke Someone Else&#8217;s Heart<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This isn&#8217;t always out of habit or because of an ulterior motive. Sometimes, people just don&#8217;t know what to do with another person&#8217;s heart.&nbsp;He might have <a href=\"https:\/\/herlifeblog.com\/relationship\/10-warning-signs-he-will-break-your-heart-before-you-know-it\/\">hurt someone before<\/a> and doesn&#8217;t want you to go through the same thing.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"3-he-seeks-out-instant-gratification\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_He_Seeks_Out_Instant_Gratification\"><\/span>3. He Seeks Out Instant Gratification<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This is a guy who just doesn&#8217;t want to be emotionally invested in <em>anyone <\/em>anymore. While they might have female friends to go to for emotional support, they are not interested in reciprocating the emotional investment.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These guys are only looking for quick flings, and aren&#8217;t afraid to admit it.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"4-he-recently-ended-a-controlling-relationship\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_He_Recently_Ended_a_Controlling_Relationship\"><\/span>4. He Recently Ended a Controlling Relationship<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Women can be narcissists and <a href=\"https:\/\/herlifeblog.com\/relationship\/are-you-making-your-relationship-toxic-9-ways-to-stop\/\">toxic <\/a>too, and can also be the problematic pole of a relationship. If he has recently ended a controlling relationship, chances are he&#8217;s still emotionally scarred. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"5-he-s-started-to-have-confidence-issues\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Hes_Started_to_Have_Confidence_Issues\"><\/span>5. He&#8217;s Started to Have Confidence Issues<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Failing relationships can have a huge emotional toll on a person. He might have asked girls out time and time again to be rejected or made fun of, which has negatively affected his self-esteem.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He <a href=\"https:\/\/herlifeblog.com\/dating\/20-reasons-why-he-isnt-asking-you-out\/\">doesn&#8217;t want to ask you out<\/a> because he&#8217;s afraid of another &#8220;no.&#8221;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"6-he-s-unsure-about-your-feelings-for-him\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6_Hes_Unsure_About_Your_Feelings_for_Him\"><\/span>6. He&#8217;s Unsure About Your Feelings for Him<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This one might be rare, but it&#8217;s still sometimes true. Guys who shadow you and hang out with you all the time might seek you out but don&#8217;t say what you want them to say because they feel unsure of themselves.&nbsp;They think you are out of their league and are afraid of popping the question that may or may not ruin your friendship forever.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"7-he-lost-everyone-he-s-ever-cared-for\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"7_He_Lost_Everyone_Hes_Ever_Cared_For\"><\/span>7. He Lost Everyone He&#8217;s Ever Cared For<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Call it the curse of true love or just bad luck, but this guy has lost everyone he&#8217;s ever had feelings for. Whether due to a fight, a death, or just growing apart, this guy has always loved and lost.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He isn&#8217;t interested in asking you out because he doesn&#8217;t want to lose you too.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"8-he-s-sad-or-depressed\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"8_Hes_Sad_or_Depressed\"><\/span>8. He&#8217;s Sad or Depressed&nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Mental health is real and should be <em>taken seriously.<\/em> If the person you&#8217;re not getting romantic reciprocation from doesn&#8217;t feel his best self, there&#8217;s a good chance he&#8217;s not interested in a future with you just because they are dismal about his future altogether.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"9-he-has-severe-commitment-issues\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"9_He_Has_Severe_Commitment_Issues\"><\/span>9.

He isn&#8217;t there in your time of need, and there is a good chance he won&#8217;t ever be.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"why-does-keep-asking-you-out-if-he-doesn-t-want-a-relationship\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_Does_Keep_Asking_You_Out_If_He_Doesnt_Want_a_Relationship\"><\/span>Why Does Keep Asking You Out If He Doesn&#8217;t Want a Relationship?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" src=\"https:\/\/herlifeblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/He-Doesnt-Want-to-Be-In-a-Relationship.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1894\" srcset=\"https:\/\/herlifeblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/He-Doesnt-Want-to-Be-In-a-Relationship.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/herlifeblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/He-Doesnt-Want-to-Be-In-a-Relationship-800x534.jpg 800w, https:\/\/herlifeblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/He-Doesnt-Want-to-Be-In-a-Relationship-120x80.jpg 120w, https:\/\/herlifeblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/He-Doesnt-Want-to-Be-In-a-Relationship-90x60.jpg 90w, https:\/\/herlifeblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/He-Doesnt-Want-to-Be-In-a-Relationship-320x213.jpg 320w, https:\/\/herlifeblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/He-Doesnt-Want-to-Be-In-a-Relationship-560x374.jpg 560w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The fact that he continues to return doesn&#8217;t imply that he loves you.

He returns because he does not want to see anyone else benefit from what he had.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A guy like this is egotistical; he doesn&#8217;t want to see you happy &#8211; he just doesn&#8217;t want to see you with another man. He wants to be with you to keep you as his &#8220;property.&#8221; If he loved you, he would have never left you.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"4-he-isn-t-sure-what-he-d-do-without-you\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_He_Isnt_Sure_What_Hed_Do_Without_You\"><\/span>4.

If this is the case, he simply feels like he won&#8217;t be an adequate partner for you and will steer clear of asking you out.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"6-he-doesn-t-like-you-or-holds-you-in-a-low-regard\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6_He_Doesnt_Like_You_or_Holds_You_in_a_Low_Regard\"><\/span>6.

Maybe he simply doesn&#8217;t find you sexually appealing and believes he should be with someone more suitable for him &#8211; and when that suitable person comes along, the man you love or have a crush on will <a href=\"https:\/\/herlifeblog.com\/relationship\/10-warning-signs-he-will-break-your-heart-before-you-know-it\/\">break your heart before you know it.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"7-he-likes-you-just-not-like-that\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"7_He_Likes_You_%E2%80%93_Just_Not_Like_That\"><\/span>7. He Likes You &#8211; Just Not Like That&nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This isn&#8217;t particularly surprising. A man who doesn&#8217;t want to be in a relationship with you can hold you around because he wants to, and because you let him. He knows the door will always be open for him and that you&#8217;ll accept him if he says or does the right things.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is not very pleasant, but that&#8217;s how people are. As long as you are available to him, he&#8217;ll keep you around.

The truth is, they&#8217;re just not interested in dating <em>you<\/em> &#8211; they just don&#8217;t wish to remain single. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A man&#8217;s greatest fear is being alone &#8211; so you became the solution to his loneliness, until he finds someone he actually wants to be with. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"9-he-knows-you-re-vulnerable\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"9_He_Knows_Youre_Vulnerable\"><\/span>9.

With that said, be careful not to be fooled by such tricks.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He simply returns to you for a fast fix, and the more times you let him, the less regard he has for you.&nbsp;He&#8217;ll keep coming back because he thinks you&#8217;re vulnerable emotionally.
