8 Possible Reasons Why Men Withdraw A Few Days After Sex
1. He does not know what to expect
One of the reasons why men withdraw a few days after sex is that they do not know what to expect.
See it as a situation of, “After sex, what next?”
Perhaps, he was beclouded by the sights of you that he didn’t think about what would follow after you two are intimate.
So, he thinks the best step is to stay away from you completely.
What you can do in this situation is to reach out to him, have an open conversation and know his true intentions for you.
I believe that he must have given it a thought during the period he was away from you.
After the conversation, you’ll be sure if he wants to pursue anything further with you.
2. He wants to move things at his pace
Although a man may be interested in you, he might not be ready to move at your pace.
Most men feel safer and in charge when they do things at their pace.
So, he might give you some space after you get intimate if you start pressuring him to do the needful about the ‘situation’.
I think that all you have to do here is let him know that you’ll be patient and move at his pace.
There should be no rush when talking about getting into a relationship.
In addition, you can make yourself scarce around him for a while to make him miss you.
3. He’s not sure of his stand in your life
Another reason why men withdraw a few days after sex is that they’re not sure of what they are to you.
He’s not even sure you are compatible enough to begin a relationship.
He can’t tell for sure his stand in your life.
And no one wants to waste their time, energy and resources on some types of uncertainties.
So, if you feel that he’s getting distant after getting intimate with him, it can be that he has thought about the situation and decided not to waste his time and risk being heartbroken.
Reassuring him that you want and love him will go a long way to boost his esteem, rekindle his feelings for you and probably set off a beautiful romantic story.
4. He’s not ready for a relationship
Some men want sex with you but are not yet ready for any commitment.
It can be difficult to tell if a guy is hanging around you and showering you with attention because he loves you or he just wants to have sex with you.
If you’re sensitive and observant enough, you’ll notice some patterns in his actions towards you.
For instance, he might love you, but he’s not yet ready to commit to you.
While he might have mentioned it to you, you don’t want to read the appropriate meaning into it.
If you genuinely love him, you can talk to him about it.
Can he give you a time frame for when he’ll be ready for commitment?
Is he assuring you that you’re his choice whenever he’s ready to settle down?
Are you willing to wait for him?
If you can tick these questions after speaking with him, then the problem is solved.
5. He just wanted to sleep with you once
For some men, sex is a form of conquest, and he may be one of the people with this school of thought.
His being all over you, showering you with attention and gifts, were all in a bid to get into your pants.
Now that he has gotten what he wants, he has moved on from you and probably to his next target.
6. He’s scared of being in love
One of the reasons why men withdraw a few days after sex is that they’re scared of being in love.
You might ask if the man didn’t think of the possibility of love coming into the equation when he showed interest in you.
Some men do not want to be vulnerable or open to anyone, as they feel that it makes them less of a male.
So, when he sees the possibility that what you share will blossom into a loving relationship, he tends to stay away after sex.
There’s nothing wrong with you; it’s not you. It’s him.
Move on with your life, and don’t worry your pretty head about any of that, Miss.
Whenever he’s ready to figure his problem out and give love a chance, you’ll be around or not.
7. You might be clingy
Another reason why men withdraw few days after sex is that the woman is too clingy.
Most times, men do not want their romantic partners to be clingy.
If he stays away after intimacy, I’ll advise you to give him some space too.
He won’t see you as throwing yourself at him or wanting to get him to be yours at all costs.
8. He wants to know your intentions for him
Some men stay away from you after getting intimate to know your intentions for them.
It can be that he’s using it as a strategy to find out if you love him.
He wants to know your next move and ascertain if you’re the right woman for him before proceeding.
In this situation, please be yourself — no pretences.
If he feels you’re suitable for him, he’ll return to you.
Conclusion
It’s not uncommon for men to distance themselves after getting intimate.
You’re not the first woman it’ll happen to, and you’ll definitely not be the last.
Even at that, there is hope that things might still work out between you two.
However, it has been proven that relationships that get physical don’t last.
Ideally, it is best to avoid getting physical.
This will help avoid the “see finish” syndrome.
It will also give you time to build friendship and strengthen your bond.
And who knows?
The relationship might evolve into something committed and lasting, like marriage.
