Your boyfriend is either not that into you or he is bored with the relationship.
In starting a new hobby and pulling away, he has found something that is substantially more interesting to him than you are.
This isn’t unusual when it comes to relationships.
He would much rather spend the majority of his free time doing that hobby than being with you.
This happens when there wasn’t much spark in the relationship at the outset.
To reiterate, he wasn’t that into you.
Look back on your relationship.
Where there has been a dearth of interest in getting to know you as a person, you have found a clue.
Forget about the physical chemistry you mutually shared.
That is deceiving.
Instead, focus on how much he tried to get to know you as a person.
Did he ask you insightful questions about you as a person?
Did he back that up with follow-up questions?
Did he give you his ideas about the viewpoints you had shared with him?
If he never did any of this, he wasn’t that into you to begin with.
Something else to reflect on is that of boredom.
He got bored in the relationship and pulled away.
Take account of how your relationship has been going.
Does it feel like you are going through the motions with each other?
Do you always talk about the same topics?
Do you always hang around the same people or go to the same hangout locations?
Do you say you will do something together but end up staying home and watching TV?
When either of you exhibit this behavior, it is likely that your boyfriend has taken the relationship for granted and gotten bored.
His new hobby has now become his new love because there was something missing in your relationship.
That hobby has filled that void and now he is pulling away.
It’s time to adopt a proactive approach to making your relationship interesting.
Get your boyfriend to indulge in activities with you that you have never done together.
Get yourself around new groups of people.
New groups of people infuse new energy into your relationship.
This happens when you are learning about what makes these new people so unique.
You are experiencing new personalities and finding new ways to relate to these new people that have come into your life.
Talk about new topics that interest the two of you, opening the door to gaining knowledge about something new.
Be energetic in your discussions.
Changes have to be made, if you hope to stop your boyfriend from pulling away.
