Client Question:
“I donât understand â he has someone else, yet heâs sending me love songs, sweet messages, and keeps emotionally engaging with me. But when I suggest meeting up or actually talking in person, he pulls away or avoids it. What does this mean? Is he serious, or is this a head game?”
Answer:
First, letâs be really clear â this is not love.
Itâs emotional baiting dressed up as romance.
And it happens more often than you think.
Many women who’ve experienced control, betrayal, or inconsistency in past relationships find themselves feeling triggered or confused when someone new starts playing these games. It feels familiar, and for a moment⌠it feels like hope. But hereâs the truth beneath the surface:
đ§ Whatâs Really Going On:
1. Emotional ego boost (not connection):
Men like this often seek emotional validation. They want to feel desired, important, and admired â without offering anything meaningful in return. Your attention becomes a mirror for their ego, not a true invitation to connection.
2. âSafeâ flirting from a distance:
By sending songs and messages, he maintains control of the narrative. He doesnât have to face your real questions, real emotions, or real needs. Itâs a one-sided performance with no real-world accountability.
3. Keeping you emotionally âon the hookâ:
This behavior often shows up when a man already has someone else but wants to keep his emotional options open. Heâs not offering you a future â heâs offering a fantasy. And if you’re emotionally invested, it benefits him, not you.
4. Avoidant or manipulative patterns:
This is classic avoidant behavior, or in some cases, manipulative. He may want the thrill of your response, the dopamine hit of attention â but not the vulnerability or responsibility of being seen in real life.
Heâs writing lyrics â not living the love story.
đŹ How to Read Between the Lines:
đ If he sends love songs but avoids showing up in person â heâs not serious.
đĄ If heâs in a relationship with someone else â heâs not emotionally available.
đ If heâs giving you just enough attention to stay emotionally entangled, but never follows through â heâs playing games.
Itâs time to stop asking âWhat does he want?â and start asking âWhat do I deserve?â
đ What You Deserve:
â
Someone who shows up, not just sends songs.
â
Someone emotionally available, honest, and real.
â
Someone whose love is present, consistent, and not a secret.
â
Someone who doesnât breadcrumb you with romantic gestures while keeping their feet firmly planted in another relationship.
Because hereâs the bottom line:
If love doesnât feel safe, clear, and mutual â itâs not love.
Itâs performance.
And youâve spent long enough in someone elseâs show.
⨠You donât need to decode love songs. You need someone who makes love undeniably obvious.
