They just weren't that into you.

Default Why do men withdraw?

So he doesn't knock her up!

Ah,

1. spending time with his other women
2. he actually has a life outside of you
3. men don't want to be up under a woman all the time and need a break every so often(at least I do)
4. doesn't really like you as much as you think

It could be any number of things.

He more than likely has a legitimate reason for breaking of contact with someone - he has every right to what's in his best interest.

This pretty much sums it up.

I've had women do this to me too. I've thought we hit it off after a few dates then called and got voice mail or no return call. I just figured they met someone else or weren't as interested in me as I thought and just forgot about it after a few days. Not a big deal really, it is what is is. It's not like I've known her a long time.

I think any guy who values a little independence will feel that way. In my experience, women like to get very involved in every aspect of your life, to dictating what you wear, to what you do in your free time, etc. Every aspect.

The more that occurs, the more likely the man will withdraw into just being able to be himself.

We withdraw to try and avoid pregnancy if we're not using protection. Not many of us want to knock the girl up after just a few dates.

Because we aren't interested anymore?

He's a flaky, doesn't know what he wants, fear of commitment, or has other options. Possibly all of these
