//HOW DO YOU KNOW IF AN AVOIDANT PARTNER REALLY LOVES YOU?// Kara is in a heterosexual relationship with Tim--whom she describes as emotionally unavailable. One minute, he’s full of hand holding and future talking, and then it takes him more than 48 hours to respond to a simple text message, with no more than three unemotional words and no emojis!
Tim seems conflicted about it. The sexual chemistry is amazing, but Tim always pumps the brakes and wants to take it slow. One minute it seems like he’s into her, but then gets tongue tied when Kara asks for clarity on the status of their relationship.
Kara can tell he cares about her, but the question is...how much?
Here are 6 signs it's likely your avoidant partner loves you--or at least, may be getting there.
👉Breaking Their Own Rules
Rolling Stones will have a lot of rules, spoken and unspoken, constructed around how much time they will spend with a romantic partner. If they love you, they will start breaking those rules.
👉Taking things slow
If your partner has hyper-sexuality, and they're hands off, but haven’t friend zoned you yet, they're serious about you. If your partner is hypo sexual, and they want to have sex with you eventually, this is actually a tremendous show of investment from them.
👉Leave you alone in their apartment
If an avoidant partner lets you spend the night at their place without locking up their phone in the safe, and then leaves before you do, you can be sure that Rolling Stone is smitten...and probably testing you.
👉Traveling with you
If a Rolling Stone agrees to travel with you, trapped in an unknown place with no where to hide, they are very serious about you.
👉Introducing family
Avoiant partners keep you away from family for one of two reasons: 1) they don’t actually see themselves in a long term relationship with you, or, 2) they are afraid their family will drive you off. If they really dig you, they will get over the fear.
👉3 Specific Love Languages
Avoidant partners show affection through acts of service, followed by sexual or physical contact, followed by gift giving. Quality time and Words of affirmation are at the bottom of the list, as many of them view words as cheap.
