Why Men Go Hot and Cold 3 Reasons Why Men Go Hot and Cold

The number one reason men will blow hot and cold is that the woman herself starts acting too pushy too early on and pushes him away. When a man you are dating hasn’t decided yet he is ready to commit to a more serious relationship with you, and you already hear the wedding bells in your head, the emotions you project during your dates and the things you say to him make it transparent that you are looking for a relationship that is more serious than what he is currently offering you.
In this situation you need to re-assess your own behavior and how you come off. If you are finding that after a heartfelt confession on how much you like him he is pulling away, you’ve just scared him off. Take the time for his feelings for you develop with the same intensity before he makes a commitment to a serious relationship.
The most important thing to remember is that it has to come from him.
Reason number 2 men blow hot and cold is that they often need time to process their emotions and need a little readjustment before taking a plunge to make a more serious commitment to the woman in his life.
You may find that after spending a fabulous weekend together he doesn’t call you for three days or immerses into his work.
Don’t worry and give him time. Sometimes after smelling roses for a couple of days a man will want to get back to pursuing his goals. He may get scared that spending romantic time on the beach will take over his life and leave nothing else, so he will want to jump into work just to feel like nothing has changed and he is still the man he was before he met you.
Lastly, reason number three why men blow hot and cold is that he wants to keep you in his life but doesn’t want to commit to you completely. He starts pursuing you when you pull back out of fear to lose you entirely, but when he feels that he is back in the comfort zone in which there is no threat that you will leave him, he goes back to the cold mode.
Astonishingly in studies that I talk about in Guide To Commitment which were done on unmarried couples, majority of men currently living with their girlfriends said they did not want to marry their girlfriends because they didn’t see them as their soulmates. Those men also identified what they’d consider their soulmates and the kind of woman they’d commit. You can learn more about it on This Page – Click Here To Read!

Nice article. The blowing hot and cold thing I have seen over and over again, and your reasons are on point. If we can go further back, say to childhood, we will see these behaviors very early in both girls and boys. “I want that” “I don’t want that anymore”. Why do girls grow out of this and boys don’t? There are a lot of theories (that I’m sure Some girls don’t grow out of it, and some boys DO. In my experience, when this happens, it’s not the woman who is not “good enough” for the man, or patient enough, or whatever enough. It’s the man who is not MATURE enough to have an adult romantic relationship. Grown-ups don’t blow hot and cold, little kids do. Because they have not learned how to make decisions yet, nor how to stick to decisions, nor how to be considerate of others, or even why it’s important. Also, many, many little boys are never taught that girls are PEOPLE, just like they are, and just like their male friends are. So they can be oh so wonderful to the rest of the world, but they don’t even think they NEED to have integrity when they are relating to a woman. It’s way easier, IMHO, to simply look for the rare man who is actually a grown-up. If I misjudged, and he was pretending to be one to get my trust, (like he did when he was little in order to get a cookie), it will show soon enough, as long as I maintained my own boundaries I will see it and have no qualms about saying “Later Gator”.
Love your site, hope you keep posting!!!

I would really love some insight into a situation i am dealing with. I have been seeing this guy exclusively for a month but we have known eachother for 7 months. We dated for a few weeks in 2011. He did the hot and cold thing. Then he dissapeared for about a month. We weren’t serious so i moved on pretty quickly. When he contacted me a month later i was in a relationship. We would text once a week but it stayed friendly. Well about 2 months later my relationship ended horribly with me being physically assaulted. My friend tony was my rock. He helped me through my court date, losing my job. We hung out alot. Watched movies, went to lunch, happy hour, etc. He made it clear he missed me when we didnt talk for a month and had hoped i would contact him. He let me know he wanted a relationship with me. I let him know i wasnt ready. I had too much going on in my life. He told me he would wait as long as i needed. Well after 6 weeks of this one day something clicked and i felt those feelings for him. I told him and a few weeks later we made it official. He told me he loved me and i did later on. He has blown me away with his love, affection and overall attentiveness. I am divorced and have 2 children. He has been separated awhile and has filed for divorce. He helped raise his step son from the time he was 3 up until he was 13 when they seperated. His ex refuses to let him see his step son. For him this is his son. He is unable to have children himself. Well things have been going great. He has been open about him trying to cope with the loss of his step son. Well this past week i went to florida and he missed me so much. Could not wait to see me and came over as soon as i got back and immediately hugged and kissed me. He stayed the night. We walked along the beach the next day. Watched a movie. He heard a song that reminded him of his step son. He cried and i held his hand. Well we had plans to go out. He was texting me that he couldnt wait to see me. I was walking out the door and he called me that a friend was in crisis in his marriage and needed him. Said he would let me know what was going on later. Well for 2 days i got the cold shoulder. He dissapeared except for a few i love you texts. Today he broke up with me. You see him and i are more alike then abyone i have ever met. His mom and i are friends and she is floored. She said she has never seem him so happy. That he told her i am his soulmate. Told her we are so alike that when we are together we dont even have to say anything we know what the other is thinking and feeling. This is very true. He is telling me to move on. Its for the best. I told him i wont give up on us. He said he is afraid of us breaking up down the road and him losing the relationship with my kids. He said he loves me but it is for the best. He hasnt completely cut contact with me. He deleted me from Facebook but he still has all our i love you messages and my pics on his page. His mom told me. I dont know how to proceed at this point. Just 3 days ago he was telling me how much he loves me, that im all he needs and wants.me to meet all his family in new york. I dont want to mess this up by doing the wrong thing. I think he is afraid right now and trying to protect himself.
