Relationships should be made of everything warm and comfortable. This requires finding a partner with an at least average emotional intelligence. Someone who can understand your feelings and can sort through their own emotions in a mature and healthy fashion.
However, this never holds true for all relationships, some partners just don't know how to handle their partners' feelings. They somehow don't see the necessity in bonding with anyone emotionally.
Here are signs that you're dating an emotionally unavailable partner:
1. A 'macho' personality
These are individuals who believe that being emotional is weak and vain. Therefore, holding back their feelings and thoughts from their partner is considered as a show of strength. They never talk through their emotions.
2. The concept of love is foreign
Relationships are just another rite of passage for them. Finding the right person is not a priority, companionship is overrated. They date to fulfil their to-do list, at least as perceived by societal norms.
3. Your relationship is cosmetic
Emotionally unavailable partners tend to treat their relationships either too casually or too formally. Either way, there's never any room for either emotional attachment or intimate bonding.
4. They're never reliable
It's like you're both living totally different lives. A partner who seems alienated and doesn't share in your successes or life story is not worth sticking around for.
5. Sex is all they want from you
Sex is a good and healthy exercise for couples, however, it has to stem from a place of love and mutual affection. Sex should be emotional and intimate rather than just a means to an end.
