Why do guys pull away when he likes you?

Answer 1

It's because we don't want to get too close to someone. If girls seem to get really attached we back off before she hurts us, it gets too serious, or something else happens. We like to be able to have lots of different girls, not be stuck with one. They like you but then get afraid of getting too involved? They liked you but you said or did something to make them not like you? They feel that you are trapping them? They are playing games with you? They can't decide if they want to seriously get involved with you or not? Just a list of possibilities. No one and I mean NO ONE will ever explain men's thinking. When I was a teen in the 60's me and my friends would always say "If you add an 'a' to men you get 'mean'", I know, we were dorks. This is my own personal life experience: My husband has screwed with my head since we've known each other since we were born. Our dad's were best friends and we were both born in '55. We started going out in 7th grade, 8th grade he danced with Cindi Williamson at MY 14th birthday party right after he had kissed me that day in the hall at school, we started going out again 3 months later (9th grade), he ditched me at junior prom fro Cindi Williamson (only god knows what they did after that), we then started going out again 5 months later, he went to the University of Montana, I went to Berkeley for college, we started going out again after something happened after our 5 year high school reunion, we stayed together, he proposed in 1977, we got married 1978, 1979 had a son Jack, 1980 we had a son Paul, 1982 we had twin girls Abbey and Amy, 1985 we had twins Joey and Maddi (who died two months after they were born). This put a strain on our relationship: we went to marriage counseling, I was blamed for their death. I discovered later that year Pierce had been cheating on me with the one and only: Cindi not Williamson anymore but York. We remained together until 1987, after the birth of our son Chris. I filed for legal seperation: I saw my mom growing up go through my dad womanizing, I thought I could pull things together like her and make it work; I was wrong. I met up with an old flame from junior high/high school/college: Tony. We were together until 1993, we were good lovers/daters but not marriage. 1993 I took Pierce back. We had a son Kevin that year. We were happier then ever in the '90s. 1997 a good friend and icon of the world died, this was a strain on myself, but Pierce got me through it. 2000 we had twin girls Annie and Claire. Don't worry, these were our last kids!!! 2001 our eldest daughter Abbey died in a car accident, this was a huge strain on me and Pierce's marriage, but we got through it. Some people call me crazy or even stupid for staying with Pierce this long with all he's put me through...but he is the only man I have ever loved that gives you that fluttering in your stomach, like a teenager. He makes me feel young. I want to see what other obstacles the world holds for us. We have been through to much to throw it all away: I love him. That is all it takes: two people willing to make sacrifices for their love. If a guy isn't going to do that, it's not real love. Now that I've told you my whole life story, I think it's time to sign off.

Men often pull away because they feel things are moving too quickly in the relationship, they feel pressured with regards some sort of committment. Even if a guy really likes you he may pull away because things are just not falling into place for him in terms of what he sees are his needs for a relationship.

Unlike women, men are also not able to properly talk about their emotions, often they don't really understand themselves. Women get frustrated and try out ultimatums or become clingy and that just drives men even further away.
There are a number of reasons why your man might pull away. Sometimes a man pulls away if he feels pressured into moving farther and faster than he might be comfortable with, e.g. getting engaged or married.

Even if a guy really loves you, sometimes he might pull away because the things that he feels are necessary for him to feel like a real man aren't present in the relationship. The challenge is that most men aren't really able to properly articulate their feelings, so they leave women vulnerable and confused.

Remember is that you are WORTHY of a loving and supportive relationship that is right for you. Don't give up. Here is a great resource to check out:
It could be a number of things, but possibly he is feeling pressured into a commitment of sorts that he doesn't feel ready for (engagement or marriage).

Another possibility is that even if a guy really loves you, he may feel that the relationship just doesn't give him what he needs as a man (and I'm not talking about sex). Men need to feel wanted, adored and the hero in all situations. They might not even realize this themselves, but feel something isn't right for them, so they pull away from relationships.

There may be a lot of reasons behind it. First financial, mentally, family, carrier, less of trust etc.

Answer 3

most of the time, women pull away because they are afraid to get too close to their man. They are afraid to get hurt and therefore, when things are getting really good in the relationship, they become afraid and flee.
