You may be the most beautiful girl in the eyes of any man, but there are certain things that you may be doing, or that may be in your character that will make a man ignore you. In addition to that, a man may be having some problems from his past that are making him to feel uncomfortable giving anyone his attention like he did before. Maybe it was a nasty breakup with the ex-girlfriend, or his childhood traumas that keep following him, giving him anxiety about becoming committed to anyone again. There are various reasons as to why men ignore women, even the most attractive ones. Sometimes, the problem may be the woman that a man is dating, whilst in other situations, the problem may be the man. Some of the reasons as to why a man ignores a woman include the following.
Secrets...
When in a relationship, a woman tends to tell her man everything whereas a man may not open up about so many things at first, and at times, you will know about their secrets later on in your relationship. When a man is hiding something from you, you will realize that he is slowly starting to withdraw. This is mainly because he is not willing to give you an explanation about the things that are going on. This is a red flag that most women ignore, not knowing that all the man is trying to say is “leave”. The more they keep quiet about the secret they are hiding, the more they know that you will eventually get tired and leave the relationship. Therefore, if he is hiding something, then you will notice that his attitude towards you will also change and he may start to ignore you.
His Past Experiences with Family or Close Relatives
Some men have been hurt physically, emotionally or mentally by the people that they love and those that were very close to them. For instance, if a man was raised in a family where his mother was always violent, abusive or rude towards his father because his father did not have a job at that particular time then he will grow up knowing that that is how every other woman is. Such kind of man should get professional help to help him cope with such situations at a very early age, or else he will develop a negative attitude towards women that he will meet later in life. Even if he moves on with his life, and an issue comes up, he will have the fear that his relationship will turn out exactly like that of his parents. This drives him towards ignoring every woman that he will meet, and experiences have an impact in the decisions that a child makes in the future.
He Loves Someone Else
This is also another reason why men tend to ignore women. Maybe he met you when he was having problems with his main girlfriend, and got intimate with you, thinking that he will get over his girlfriend, only to realize that he still loves her. Most men will not tell you that they are not in love with you, but you will see from their actions. You will realize that there is a very big difference when you compare how he used to treat you in the past and how he is treating you currently. You will no longer have his attention and whenever you text him, you will realize that he is reading your messages and not responding. In addition to that, if he is in the process of mending things with his girlfriend, whom he loves then he will not give you the attention that you need, and this is when you will hear many men telling the women they had fun with that “it was a mistake”.
He Is Not Serious About the Relationship
A man knows the kind of woman that he wants to spend the rest of his life with. They may have many women, all with different characters, but when it comes to settling down, he will choose one woman. You may be having fun with this one man for the longest time but when you want to make things serious, maybe take him to your parents, he will start hesitating, saying that he is still not ready and that he needs time. Sometimes this response is genuine but sometimes, it can be an excuse and a way of avoiding commitment.
He Is in Another Serious Relationship
It is in a man’s nature to find another girl beautiful more than his girlfriend if he is having issues or doubts about you. Men may flirt and do all sorts of things for you, but when it comes to their relationship with their girlfriend, they will never leave them for you. Misunderstandings usually come in when a man takes another woman, other than his girlfriend on trips and vacations. For any woman, this may mean that both of you are having something more than friendship and you may find yourself becoming attached. However, the man knew from the onset that he does not want anything serious with you, and that he is not planning to leave his girlfriend for you. When you start nagging and demanding for an explanation regarding everything that he does without you, then he will give you silent treatment. He will ignore your messages, calls and voice notes, until you get tired and leave him alone. It is hard to find a man that will go out of his way to block a woman he is not interested in. Often, a man will ignore a woman until the women loses interest.
He Feels Like You Are Not Reciprocating His Love
When a man loves a woman, he loves her with everything that he has. He will always strive to give you all his attention, see you when he can and take you out whenever he can. However, if he starts to feel that you are not reciprocating his love, not necessarily in monetary form, then he will start withdrawing and keeping his distant. Maybe you only talk to him when you want something, such as, financial help from him. The moment he realizes that you are only using him for your own benefit, he will start pulling away and ignore you eventually.
The Fear of Being Rejected
Maybe he has tried dating a woman before but was rejected because he was not good enough for the woman, or because of his financial situation. If he was rejected and even mocked in the past, he may fear getting into any commitment with any other woman. This is a problem that a man has to work on by himself, mainly because if he decides to move on to another relationship thinking that he will find closure, then he will still get hurt and the same thing he feared will happen again. Therefore, however much a man loves a woman, if he has such a past, he will fear becoming committed because of the fear of rejection.
He is Busy
It is natural for a woman to think that his boyfriend or the man they have started dating with is ignoring her because of someone else. However, in certain circumstances, the man may be sincerely busy at work, handling important things. Therefore, whenever you feel that something has changed in your relationship, you should talk it out and let the other person know. You may be overthinking about something that is not there when they are just busy with work. In addition to that, if you know the rules of their company, you can organize and pay him a visit, maybe take him out for lunch to relax his mind, this is what makes a man adore a woman. In this case, a man may ignore a woman, but it is not with malicious intent.
He Is No Longer Interested in You
Men also ignore women if they have lost interest in them. You started dating, he grew to love you but suddenly, things have changed, and he no longer treats you the same. Maybe there is something that you have done that he finds uncomfortable and hard to deal with. Moreover, maybe he found out that, you are not faithful to him or that you have been lying to him about something. Since he may not have the courage to tell you that he is quitting the relationship, he will start acting cold towards you and will eventually reach a point where he will never talk to you. Therefore, a man will ignore a woman if he has lost interest in her because of something that happened. Alternatively, he thought that you were the one he wanted to spend his life with, only to realize that he was mistaken and was not ready to get into a serious relationship.
You Had an Argument and You Misunderstood Him
Although arguments occur in every relationship, what is important is how you solve the arguments. Maybe you have had an argument with your boyfriend or husband, and you realize that there is something that he said that did not make you happy. Instead of asking for clarification, you jump to conclusions because of a simple misunderstanding. Making false accusations makes a man to think twice about you as a woman. If the argument was heated, he may ignore you until he calms down. Give him this space and when you find an opportunity to discuss the situation that occurred approach it in a calm collected manner, making sure you hear an understand his point of you, apologizing for your actions or words that offended him.
He Does Not Trust You
Lack of trust is one of the key reasons why many relationships crumble. Maybe you have a bad past and you think that everyone you meet is going to hurt you the same way. A woman may find it challenging to trust a man because of the things that she has gone through in the past. For a man who knows some of the insecurities that his woman has, he will strive to make her feel secure with her, and assure her every day that he loves her., and that he will never hurt her in any way. However, it reaches a point where a man may get tired of trying because regardless of whatever he does, he still feels that you do not trust him. He will in turn lose interest in this type of woman and ignore her and move on with his life.
You Are Too Attached
When two people get into a relationship, they both had lives that they were living separately. They should continue with this life, achieve their goals as an individual and set some goals as a couple. Even though you are both in a relationship, you should strive to give each other space and work as an individual. Men do not like a clingy girlfriend or wife because they feel suffocated with too much attention that is unnecessary. If you love your man, and you know that he loves you too, then there should be no reason for anyone to worry. Being clingy only gives the man the impression that you are trying to tie him down in such a way that he should not have a social life with other people because he is dating you. If a man starts to feel like this, they may ignore a woman to clear their mind and find some space in the relationship.
You Like Him but He Does He Feel The Same?
Just like a woman knowns when a man is interested in her, a man can also tell when a woman is interested in him. If a woman likes a man, but the man does not like her in the same way then he will ignore her. Maybe he feels like the woman is not worth his time and is not his type.
You are 'Easy'
One thing that most women need to know is that men tend to want a woman they have to chase or work to get. If a man shows interest in, you and you immediately accept his advances then he may see you as easy. He will start dating you but will not be serious with you because he has a negative preconceived perception of the kind of woman that you are. In addition to that, if you get into an argument and threaten to leave, he will not be afraid to lose you because he knows that he found you so easily. Therefore, an easy-going woman may be ignored by a man because he may believe there is nothing special in her. What men tell themselves regarding such women is that “if I got her so easily, then someone else will also get her very easily”.
He Has Been Hurt Before
Some men are cautious about the decisions they make, especially after they have been hurt before because they don’t want to make the same mistakes. There are various instances that may make a man to ignore a woman, and this is mostly because of the relationships that he has had in the past. Maybe his mother left him when he was young, or the woman he thought he could build a future with hurt him in ways that he could never imagine. This is natural for the man to fear being in any engagement with another woman. A man may love you genuinely, but if he thinks about how he has been hurt before then he will ignore even the woman he truly loves. This is a strategy that most men use to have peace of mind and to prevent their sad past from repeating itself.
Uncertainty
This is also another reason why a man may ignore a woman. At first, a man may think that he is in love with a woman, only to realize that it was lust or infatuation. As time goes by, he may start feeling different about the same girl, because he is not sure about he feels. This is a confusion that a man needs space to solve so that he does not get into something when in reality, he is not ready at all for a relationship.
A Woman’s Behaviour
There are some women who have awkward behavior that may scare away men. Maybe a man has realized that a woman has some psychopathic traits in her that may end up endangering both their lives. In addition to that, if a man notices that a woman is obsessed with him, he will try to avoid her as much as possible. This is because obsession can lead to dangerous behaviors, which may cost an individual his or her life. If a man happens to meet a woman with such trait, he will try as much as possible not to give her his attention, so that she may give up and leave him alone. Furthermore, people who are obsessed may end up having violent behavior, which may result to death. Therefore, to maintain sanity and remain peaceful, most men prefer to ignore women with such personalities.
You Said Something Hurtful
When most people are hurt, they tend to say hurtful things to each other, which they may end up regretting later. When you are starting dating, the man felt vulnerable in your arms, confided some secrets in you and let you in his life. Unluckily, you end up using this information against them when he upsets you or when you are trying to make a point. In most cases, the man will not respond in such a scenario, but would prefer to keep quiet and regret opening up to you. If you said something hurtful to a man, he can ignore you, and completely avoid you because you cannot be trusted.
You Brought Up His Past In An Argument
Everyone has a past and most of the time, when two people are getting into a relationship, it is normal that they will share their pasts with each other. This does not mean that one person’s past is better or worse than the other persons. When a woman continuously brings up her man’s past during an argument, the man will see this as you are judging him for some of the mistakes that he made in the past. A man will convince himself that regardless of whatever happens after an argument, you will still feel the same about him. For instance, if the couple solves the issue that they had, things will never be the same between them however much they try. The man will feel very uncomfortable opening up to the woman because of lack of trust. Therefore, such a relationship should not exist even in the first place because what is the point of a relationship without trust.
He Is Ashamed of His Actions
Lastly, a man ignores a woman if he is guilty about something he has done. If he had an affair or betrayed you in another way then he will start ignoring you and feeling guilty for his actions. Maybe he is thinking that his girlfriend or wife did not deserve that, or that he did it when you had an argument and just realized that you deserve much better. If this is the case a man will ignore a woman at all costs because deep down, he knows that she has done anything wrong and he cannot face her.
In summary, there are various reasons as to why a man may decide to ignore a woman. Some of these reasons are understandable but most of the time, the problem usually lies in how the man feels about the woman.
