Search Results: emotionally unavailable

I was dating a guy for 3 months who made me feel giddy and girly bc he was so affectionate and sweet and quite a respectful gentlemen I might add. i did notice some distance but thought it was just a transition from the honeymoon period. We still talked daily just not as much, which is fine with me. He then comes up with this “I don’t know how to have feelings for someone. I don’t understand myself. I’m emotionally closed off” crap. I say to him “well u weren’t emotionally closed off when we 1st met all the way up until a few weeks ago” (I didn’t say it in an accusatory way). He said that he likes me but he needs space to figure out if he’s able to take on a relationship. Ok that’s fine. IF he's being honest. I know In some instances this is needed for a guy to figure out if he likes you enough to continue. But to say he’s basically emotionally unavailable and he doesn’t know how to feel for someone when he was nothing but affectionate and sweet to me makes no sense. Was he just on auto pilot but not really feeling his actions. He didn’t woo me with many words But his actions said everything. He said his ex girlfriend said he seems like he doesn’t care but that’s just the way he is. Well he seemed to care for the first few months so I’m not really buying it. Am I wrong?
