Hi April,
My name is Allen. I’m 22, and I need your honest opinion no sugarcoating.
Why do some people say they “feel a strong connection,” act close, open up emotionally, and then disappear the moment things start getting real?
One minute they’re invested, the next they pull away like commitment is something dangerous.
Is that fear — or is it just enjoying the benefits without wanting the responsibility?
And how can you tell the difference between someone who is truly confused about their feelings and someone who just likes the attention but never planned to stay?
Because right now, modern dating feels less about building something real and more about who exits first without looking bad.
I’d really appreciate your straight-up perspective.
