Many women feel confused when a man avoids clarity about the relationship. You may spend time together, talk every day, and share emotional moments, yet he refuses to clearly define what you are. Sis, I need to talk to you about the conversation you keep trying to have—and he keeps avoiding. You want to know
Sis, I need to talk to you about something you’ve probably just noticed. You’ve been chasing him. Initiating conversations. Making plans. Putting in effort. Reaching out. Pursuing connection.
