It’s common to start dating someone only to have them lose interest after sex in the early stages. Here’s why it happens (and what to do).
I’ve seen it repeatedly in my dating life and heard stories about people withdrawing after sex from the Dating Intentionally community. For some reason, after you have sex with someone you’re newly dating, they tend to pull away. Why does this happen? This episode lays out the five most common reasons this happens and what you can do about it in the future when/if this happens to you again.
Here’s an overview of the 5 reasons why they might pull away after sex:
- There’s no emotional connection
- Your dating intentions aren’t aligned
- The thrill is gone
- They never actually wanted to date you
- It feels forced to keep going
This podcast episode includes several other reasons why someone will lose interest after sex in early dating you submitted to the Dating Intentionally Instagram.
Can you get their interest back after they start to pull away? Possibly with clear communication and getting on the same page about dating intentions. But usually, it doesn’t play out that way. It’s worth a try, though!
