“It´s human nature for a man to test the waters”, says Argov, “he wants to see how much he can get away with.” Here are the three reasons why the man who seems to like you will pull away: Most men deliberately don´t call just to see how you´ll respond.

Pulling away means not calling you, not sending you emails and text messages, not replying to your text messages and not returning your calls, or not seeing you for a while. Even if it can be utterly confusing for you when he does that, especially if you really like him, how you react to his absence will set the stage if he´s going to fall in love with you, take advantage of you, or pull away for good.

From the very beginning, guys analyze whether you have the long-term potential or if you are merely a fun-for-right-now kind of girl. Talk about your wants, needs and boundaries to ensure you’re on the same page. Knowing how to approach him is extremely important.

Before you even dwell on that status of your relationship, decide if this guy is actually worth your time.

While women are generally ready to get serious before men, it’s important to stay patient with him.

Couples nowadays seem to traverse that initial stage of “talking,” but without formally agreeing when and how a relationship becomes official.It’s a weird emotional playing field in which no one wants to overplay his or her hand and be left on the short side.While both parties hold the power to heat up the budding romance with innuendos and flirtatious implications, the actions generally come with the afterthought notion of self-consciousness regarding whether or not something came about “too soon.” In this early stage, a single misstep could ruin everything.Don’t be negative or act like you need constant approval from him. If he compliments you, thank him rather than disagreeing.In this in-between stage, a lot of curiosity will arise, leading you to question everything he does and says.
