Why am I attracted to emotionally unavailable men when what I really seek is emotional intimacy, and it seems like they never have the capacity to be at the same vulnerability level as me?
I was recently engaged with someone for 5 months who I thought I had a great connection with. There was distance between us, and as soon as I told him I was moving to his city, he told me he didn't feel a romantic connection. I pressed him harder because we always had such a beautiful time together. He said he couldn't say he didn't know. When I asked if it was a lack of chemistry or attraction, he said it was likely yes. What should I take away from this situation?
