This works for both sides of the aisle. Wanting a relationship and being able to navigate one are two different things. Sometimes people just don’t know how. I can relate to the situation of really enjoying being with a person, feeling it’s reciprocal, then wondering about big gaps in communication. Regardless of the reasons (busy with this and that), it does speak to the quality of the connection. That’s important information we should not ignore. Often we need more information to get beyond our internal story telling machine, but the quality of connection is pretty visceral. We can feel it in our bones. Trust that.
