Hey Friend,
One of the most important factors to identify on the journey to attracting a secure partner is recognizing if the person you're forming a connection with is emotionally available.
Someone who you can connect with deeply, someone who genuinely cares about you - what you think, how you feel, and what you want.
Someone who you can count on to show up for you - ya know, who wants to see you! Texts you consistently and wants to move the relationship forward.
Even if you've been taught that the emotional needs of a man don't matter...
YOU, as a man have a right to have them met in a relationship! Dating someone who isn't available can feel a lot like banging your head against a brick wall.
It can be frustrating, confusing and can ultimately erode at your self esteem.
Oh yeah, AND take precious time away from attracting partners who do have space in their heart & life for you!
Emotional availability is not always the most obvious thing in the world. What does it actually look like?
Typically our parents don't teach us the signs of an unavailable partner and we're left to life experience to figure it out.
That being said, there are specific tangible signs that I have found through my work with clients and from personal experience.
