If you’re reading this right now, you’re probably dealing with a confused man or you’ve dealt with one in the past.
And trust us – We know how it feels.
As women, we’ve all had this experience at some point in our lives. And chances are, you’ll probably go through it a couple of times throughout your life.
It usually goes like this:
He was the epitome of a real man when you first met him.
He’d always say the right things and do the right things, he’d go out of his way to make you feel special.
He’d text you all day long, and he’d even open up to you and talk about his own emotions.
In fact, he would even turn down his male friends in order to spend time with you, just because being with you made him feel so amazing.
But suddenly, everything changed.
All of a sudden, you’re left confused and lost about the way he’s acting, just as you were becoming certain that you were on the right course to experiencing real love.
What went wrong? He used to act like a man who was fully devoted and ready to commit to you, but now it’s like he’s a completely different man.
His texts are either non-existent or infrequent, and he no longer says anything romantic to you, much less discuss his love for you.
What’s more, he’s always preoccupied with other things, and makes all sorts of excuses for being “too busy” to be with you.
And throughout all of this, you’re just left thinking to yourself: “Why?”
Why would he act warm and open at first, just to withdraw and screw things up later?
Why would he suddenly change his mind and stop making an effort, as if something awful had happened or you did something that pushed him away?
There are so many questions rushing through your mind, but no answers.
So what exactly is going on? And can you rescue the situation?
Here’s the truth: This is what happens when a man is confused about what he wants.
Because of personal reasons or past emotional trauma, an increasing number of men are suffering from this perplexing syndrome.
When this happens, they start acting like a mystery. He goes from warm and receptive to cold, distant and simply “too busy” for you.
And don’t worry – It’s perfectly normal, and we’ve seen this happen time and time again.
As international dating coaches, we’ve helped thousands of women around the world deal with situations like this.
Today, we’re going to show you exactly what is going on inside his head, as well as how you can get him to open up and devote himself to you completely and permanently.
The 8 Most Common Reasons Why Guys Are Confused About Their Feelings
There is always a reason behind every action. There’s always a “why” behind everything we say, do, or don’t do.
And obviously, this applies to men too.
Before we talk about how to regain his interest and “lock-in” his devotion for you, we need to understand what exactly he’s thinking at this moment.
How does he truly feel about you deep down? And what are the real reasons why he is acting this way?
There are a variety of reasons why a man could become confused and retreat unexpectedly. Let’s take a look at the 8 most common ones:
1. He Is Afraid Of Being Hurt Again
If a man has been harmed in previous relationships in some way, he is likely to be afraid of being hurt again in the future.
It’s also worth noting that the same thing happens to women.
The most important thing you can do for him is to understand the source of his fear.
In the beginning, a man will be completely relaxed and open with you when you’re getting to know each other.
At this point, the thoughts of his previous relationships and traumas would not cross his mind.
However, as things become more complicated and your relationship develops, he will become increasingly fearful of being injured again.
Why? Because he’ll be terrified of losing control of everything because of how attached he is to you.
This indicates he has the option of following his feelings or fleeing from you for fear of being hurt again.
When a man likes you a lot, he can’t easily decide to go away from you, but he also can’t ignore his feelings.
As a result, he enters a state of confusion, and decides to take some time to dwell on his feelings and consider what he truly desires…
And meanwhile, you’re left even more confused at his actions, waiting for him to reach out to you, and worrying about how he feels about you…
2. He Finds You Needy Or Clingy
Being too clingy in a relationship or in the early stages of a relationship is a major reason why guys become confused about their feelings for you.
So, what does it mean to be too needy?
Being needy entails not having your own life, continuously demanding that your partner spend all of their free time with you, being unable to deal with problems on your own, and always requesting affection and reassurance from your partner, among other things.
Being needy entails being excessively demanding, in which case you control the pace of your relationship and your partner’s life.
So, if a guy feels a woman is becoming overly needy, he will start to develop a subconscious fear of her and begin acting strangely.
He’ll begin to consider what a future relationship with such a woman may entail and whether he’ll be able to match all of her requirements.
He’ll really explore his other possibilities if he feels like it’s too much for him and that he’ll never be ready to be with a lady who is being too needy for his liking.
Understand that if a man decides to totally commit, he wants to make the relationship an experience that both of you can enjoy and feel comfortable in.
But if he believes he will never be able to do so, he will put the brakes on and reconsider his actions.
3. You’re Putting Too Much Pressure On Him
When a man acts strangely and sends confusing signals, many women take matters into their own hands and begin pressuring him to commit or tell them what’s really going on.
If you’ve been pushing your man too hard, it’s possible that’s why he’s become a confused man (or one of the reasons).
Pushing a man into something he isn’t ready for is akin to forcing a child to act like an adult.
A positive outcome is not feasible in either circumstance.
If you think that showering your partner with love, romantic words, and tenderness will change him, you should take a step back and reconsider.
While these actions might feel sweet and romantic, there is a time and place for them.
Right now, they will just make him feel even more trapped and cause him to get even more confused about what he wants.
The more you press him and demand that he perform a certain way, the more ignorant he will become.
Why? Because it’s simply human nature to do so.
It’s only natural for us to refuse to do anything when someone forces us to. But when we have the freedom to choose, we see things more clearly and it’s easier to figure out what we really want in a relationship or in life.
4. He Is Scared Of Commitment
Here’s an interesting fact about how men feel:
When a man is confused about how he feels, he is often afraid of commitment at the same time.
Here’s what we mean by this:
Imagine a massive buffet filled with all the most amazing foods from every corner of the world…
But it comes with a catch: You can only choose one cuisine for the entire evening.
If a guy already has a favorite cuisine in mind, he will have no problems choosing it and enjoying his dinner eating his favorite foods.
But if he was not sure about his choice, he will begin to have second thoughts about his decision and feels stuck for just trying one cuisine out of all the others he could have picked.
The same sort of dilemma happens in his head when it comes to girls.
When a man is not 100% sure about you, he won’t be able to commit to you fully from the bottom of his heart.
Now, he might give you a chance to see how things go. But if he discovers that he still yearns for his independence and wants to leave all of his other possibilities open, he will start to pull away.
He’ll go into a state of confusion where he constantly weighs the benefits and drawbacks of remaining with you, explaining to you that he’s simply not ready for commitment or anything serious just yet.
5. He Is Doubting Himself
When a man loves a woman, he instinctively wants to protect her, make her feel unique, and make her the happiest woman on the planet.
However, not every man believes he is capable of doing so. This is where any insecurities or lack of self-esteem will arise.
He begins to doubt himself, to feel like he is unfit for you, and that he will never be able to make you happy again.
Given that every man’s greatest achievement and joy is seeing his woman happy and blessed, he’ll think twice before deciding whether he’s capable of making you happy in the end.
As a result of this, he will appear confused. He will not take your calls, he will stop messaging you as regularly as before, and he will place barriers between you so that you won’t be able to reach him until he is truly ready to accept you into his heart.
6. He Doesn’t Know How To Deal With His Own Emotions
Let’s be honest here:
Males and women are from different planets when it comes to feelings.
As women, we have the ability to better understand our emotions. And meanwhile, the majority of men become easily overwhelmed when it comes to anything associated with the word “feelings.”
It happens all the time:
He was all gentlemanly, nice, and charming when you first started dating, as if everything was fine.
And now, after some time has passed, he’s acting strangely, and you’re not sure why.
So why does this happen? It’s because he’s formed feelings for you over time and now doesn’t know how to cope with them because he wasn’t prepared for them or didn’t expect them.
Most of the time, when a man acts strangely and pulls away, it’s because he’s confused about his own emotional state.
He doesn’t know what’s going on in his thoughts or how to interpret what he’s experiencing, which is why he retreats to his man cave, where he’ll be safe for the time being.
That’s when you start to wonder: “How can I deal with a guy who acts like a mystery?”
Every woman struggles with this because she wants to help him and force him to tell you what’s wrong with him. But you should never do this.
Instead, turn your focus to connecting deeply with him on an emotional level, and making him feel sure and certain about his feelings for you.
7. He Wants To Slow Things Down
When it comes to dating, one of the biggest differences between men and women lies in the way they decide the pace of a relationship.
Women are usually the ones that are passionate about moving things forwards, because we don’t have a hard time comprehending and expressing our emotions.
But while we may have our wedding days fully planned in our minds, a man is likely still debating whether or not to say those three words.
This is because we have a strong emotional response to everything and trust our instincts and feelings.
On the other hand, men take longer to embrace their feelings and the reality that they are in a relationship.
When a guy feels like the relationship is progressing too quickly, he will become confused and even fearful since he is not on the same level of commitment as his woman.
8. He Is Confused About What He Wants
Sometimes, a man’s confusion stems from the reality that he has no notion what he truly desires.
This kind of guy is often caught between competing desires and ends up demanding everything at the same time…
He wants to be in a committed relationship, but he’s afraid of commitment…
He wants to show you affection, but he’s not sure how…
He wants to make you happy, but he’s afraid of opening up and making himself vulnerable.
In other words: He wants everything and nothing at the same time, which is the worst conundrum of all.
It’s quite difficult to cope with such men because all of their contradictory signals are exhausting and frustrating.
Even if you were to strike up a discussion with such a man and ask him what he wants from you, he would be unable to respond since he has no concept of what he wants.
What To Do When A Guy Is Confused About His Feelings
Now that we’ve learned about the causes of a man’s insecurity in a relationship, it’s time to figure out how to cope with him and make the best of the situation.
The key to dealing with a confused guy is to reassure him about his positive feelings towards you.
And the best way to do this is to establish a strong emotional connection with him.
Once you do this, there’s no need to constantly worry about gaining or keeping his interest, simply because he will always feel a strong desire and connection for you which flows from the bottom of his heart.
So if you’re dealing with a guy who is confused about his feelings for you, here’s what you do:
1. Make A List Of Your Thoughts And Feelings
Take a piece of paper and start writing how you feel whenever you feel like calling, messaging, or contacting him in any other way.
Write down everything you want to say to him and how you feel about the issue.
Trust us: By doing this, you’ll experience immediate relief as if you’d just told him everything.
Writing down your thoughts and feelings is also beneficial for self-reflection because it will help you better understand and accept how you truly feel about things.
2. Give Him Some Time And Space
Whatever the cause of his confused feelings may be, there is always one powerful solution:
Give him some space and time to consider things through.
In situations like this where he’s already lost about his feelings, you will only make matters worse if you put pressure on him.
So, whatever you do, don’t put any pressure on him, especially when it comes to your relationship and where it’s heading.
Instead, try to focus on other aspects of your life, such as your hobbies, job, family, or something similar.
The more you divert your attention away from him, the less likely you are to make a wrong move and push him away forever.
3. Be Patient With Him
Here’s the key to dealing with a confused man:
However tempting it may be, do not try to “convince” him to be sure about you.
Instead, exercise patience, and wait for him to reach out.
Let him be the one who texts you, calls you, or just knocks on your door when he’s ready, rather than you approaching him.
The plan is to give him some space and time to consider what he truly wants and sort out his feelings.
Do this correctly, and he will come back to your side with his heart fully open, ready to share his love with you.
4. Spend Some Time On Yourself
While you’re giving him space and waiting for him to be emotionally ready for you, don’t forget about your own needs!
Spend some time on yourself by going out with your friends, spending time with your family, cuddling with your pet, and so on.
Rather than worrying or blaming yourself for his own confused mind, turn your focus to yourself and wait for him to notice how stunning you are on the inside!
And if you’re meant to be together and he’s the one for you, he’ll come to his senses and clear his head of all the confusion that’s keeping him from moving on!
It seems counter-intuitive at first, but being able to spend time apart will make him realize how important you are in his life.
5. Do Not Panic At Any Point
When it comes to dealing with a confused man, the largest and worst opponent is freaking out.
Trust us – We know how difficult it is to remain sane in such circumstances.
Right now, you might feel the urge to smash your phone in pieces because he hasn’t called or texted you.
You might want to contact your mutual friends and ask them about him, and you feel hurt that he seems to be drifting away from you…
But you also want to love him and want things to go back to the way they were.
In reality, it’s not difficult to regain his affection. But if you give in to your own emotions and act impulsively, you could push him away and ruin everything permanently.
So take a deep breath, and calm down. As long as you take the right steps, he will come back BEGGING for a chance at your heart.
