Everything that went through his mind the moment he saw you was electric.

In his mind, you were the definitive exterior of what he finds attractive.

You were his type in physique.

Immediately, his mind went to his past experiences dating women with your physical appearance.

He remembered past girlfriends and hookups.

But especially the one ex-girlfriend that left the most impactful impression on him.

Externally, you are the physical embodiment of her.

With her in mind, he was excited about the prospect of approaching you and opening a conversation.

He was anticipating discovering information about you that matched that of the ex-girlfriend he has struggled to move on from emotionally.

As the conversation ensued, he realized that your temperament wasn’t quite the replica of that of his ex-girlfriend.

Additionally, as he learned more about you, he realized that you didn’t share the same background as her.

Despite all of this, he wanted to stay positive.

Given how attractive you are and how much your physique matches that of his ex-girlfriend, he remained hopeful about the prospect of finding a connection with you.

To this end, after he approached you and the conversation came to a conclusion, he chose to text you after the fact.

Inevitably, as he learned even more about you, it was increasingly clear that your background, lifestyle, worldview, interests, and overall personality were nothing like his ex-girlfriend’s.

These compounding differences became that much more apparent to him with every text message exchange.

The thing is, he is caught up on an ex-girlfriend.

An ex-girlfriend he misses and is sad is no longer in his life.

At no fault of your own, there is a monumental expectation that you fulfill these expectations.

When he suddenly pulls away, it is based on his realization that although you physically resemble what his ex-girlfriend looked like, everything else doesn’t align.

Due to this disappointment, he doesn’t have the motivation to keep texting you.

The initial excitement he had when he first saw you has greatly diminished.

He starts pulling away.

He is no longer initiating as many text messages as he was before.

The energy he was showing in the beginning isn’t as obvious.

There are fewer emojis being sent, and the sentences are getting shorter.

Instinctively, you sense there is a difference in his texting behavior and decide to be more proactive.

Instead of waiting on him to initiate a text message, you go ahead and initiate a few text messages to him.

At first, he replies fairly quickly.

But with each text message you initiate, his replies take longer to arrive.

Eventually, he is ignoring your text messages altogether.

Sadly, his behavior has nothing to do with anything you did wrong.

Your text messages were fun and engaging.

The questions you answered were done correctly and spoke to who you were as a person.

In essence, you were authentically being yourself.

Unfortunately, his disappearance has nothing to do with anything you did wrong.

He was hoping you were a replica of his ex-girlfriend in physique and personality, which is an unfair expectation for anyone.
