    I've experienced two typesof DA's. Both came in hot and pursued hard. One was more of a fling which I was fine with because there were no feelings between us. But he was definitely more of the "playing the fields" type. We remained friends and over the next 15 years he's still the same. I saw him fall in love once.
    The other is one is my best friend of many years. He's the biggest sweetheart. We tried dating a few times but I had to leave last year and heal my FA attachment. Even a year later he still won't date anyone and still gently pursues me. Over the years he has become so open and vulnerable with me and I love that I'm someone he can do that with.
    Bottom line is you have to heal your own attachment if a DA will be vulnerable with you. Any kind of anxious or funky energy will throw off the dynamic. You don't need to walk on eggshells. You just have to be calm and confident when you communicate. If you are not getting your needs met in any way you have to be willing to choose yourself and walk away. Regardless of the attachment style you're dating, you need to value yourself.

      So my DA partner has told me he loves me… yet it’s now been 5 days since he’s reached out text or call. This isn’t an acceptable level of communication for me but I also realize he needs space (I’m ok with a couple of days) but not a week. How can I bring this up? When I tried to last time he said I was needy and clingy (which I don’t feel I am) I work full time, I have many hobbies, busy with family and friends, but it would be nice to get a text once day just a check in etc.

      ​@SK-no2pp he may not have worked through his issues enough to be ready for a relationship. Regardless, don't get mad, treat him like a cat. He will come when he's ready. Or he won't and that's your sign to move on. People who want you will pursue you.

      Their brain starts screaming "get out or die" person cannot think too clearly in that situation. Takes awareness of whats going on, why the subconscious is reacting like that, and healing. Avoidants want love and successful relationships like everyone else.

      I agree with the commenter above...if they really like/love you. The other end is if they don't. They may at first and then realize that you aren't compatible and leave. That's why I do my best to take the first 3 to 6 months or so of dating as more casual as to not get too attached. Once the commitment talk starts is when I will generally let my full feelings in. Those first few months are testing the waters.

    I think it’s important to note that if you’re already in the “dismissive stage”, and you communicate a need clearly, a DA will think it’s a sign that the relationship is “faulty”; and they’ll raise the dismissive wall even higher.

    Its been 6 months since this happened but my DA gf (I am AP) just told me she loved me twice today (not the normal "I love you too" when I tell her I love her) and that I should not be concerned that she does not tell me regularly and said some other really appreciative words. I am surprised and thought the world was coming to an end.

    Last two times I was in-love, it was with DA’s. One long term, one short term, both ended same. DA’s fear escalated suddenly and they refused to talk about what was bothering them. Probably never would have got involved if I had been better at asking very directly and specifically for my exact needs.

    I am an AP with FA attachment. I am with my DA partner for one year and 3 months now and it's going strong. My partner express majority of the signs except for sign #6 and sign #7 (he is an introvert). He has a hard time communicating that he needs space so I am the one who initiates that we have a healthy space and reassuring him that I respect his needs. Got a big fight recently but cleared things out and assuring him that I am a safe space. Now he is the one who is the one who always message me out of nowhere.

    I believe my DA ex liked me, she even said she loved me. We had great chemistry and connection, however we were incompatible and that was because of her inconsistency along with her "self sabotage" which she admitted that she would do. She knew she had faults she needed to work on but didn't and so I finally realized that because of this, ultimately we wouldn't work

    Same is true with FA's. My FA ex loved being my " friend ". He wanted to keep me as a friend even after he monkey branched to another after four years with me. I had told him from the very beginning that I would never be just his " friend ". He tried to be in a relationship, but those fears were too much. I know he really did like me.

    In the beginning i friendzoned my DA. And as i improved my own attachment style (between AP/FA) massively, she friendzoned me lol. Had an ego deat (or spiritual awakenign or whatever you want to call it)
    Her avoidant behavior doesn't even trigger me as much anymore. I am no longer really scared to lose her. I just leave her alone for a bit, when she becomes difficult to talk to.
    She pretents i'm not that important to her, but i got 6 out of 7 definitively. I guess she wants me to spare the usual situationship experience everyone else gets. And mostly because of that and becoming very very close to each other, that she is not intersted in a relationship (which i made kind of a big deal about, how much i im love i am with her and how much i improved psychologically). But i'll attempt to cross some barriers anyways, to see what happens if I attempt to (i havent really tried yet, just talked about), without pushing her to commit to anything.

Saying lovely tgings to each othee and planning for the future. We never argued in our time together...Just laughed. She told me not to contact her, (but i did. I didnt really talk about US, i was just asking how she was doing due to her friends passing)
    She blocked me end of March, but since then ive been doing my homework. Watching tons of videos on Avoidants and im feeling heaps better.
    I want to reach out to her but the only avenue i can is by post....As im blocked.
    If i can get her to tslk to me, id just take things ultra slow. Being friends again first for however long it takes. Id suggest counciling as well. I know she had strong feelings for me as i did her. Shoukd i reach out by post, or wait and hope she unblocks and contacts me?

    No matter how many videos are made trying to make a DA look better, it's all wasted time. DA's will destroy your life. Ask yourself, do you want to have a healthy relationship with another person and share love? Or would you rather walk on eggshells daily, be made fun of if you show feelings, be cheated on, etc. Do you want to have to put in 3 times the work just to get the DA to "like" you? No.... It isn't your job to heal someone's trauma. Get out now, you CANNOT fix this.

    I’ve understand both after watch so many videos. A da is just someone that’s spoiled and really all about themselves, the FA are the real killers. They’re the ones who’s severely damage inside: they will love you with all they have and then just stop the next minute. They won’t care. They’ll go be with whoever for months then come back as if it’s nothing . Worst part is they’re not even acting like it’s nothing . They actually believe that it’s ok. I love my ex but I’ve never been afraid of someone so much in my life.

      ​@@anzelaivdo not dismiss that person's feelings. FAs are dangerous, therefore it is logical to fear them. They inflict serious damage upon unsuspecting people. They willingly enter into relationships then rip the hearts and souls out of people who did nothing but love them because they have trauma. It is wrong for an avoidant to allow their trauma to hurt another person. If an avoidants get scared once a relationship becomes full of love, they should go get therapy and stay out of the dating pool until they are healed.

I felt like I was dying inside while trying to extricate myself from those situations, all the while also second guessing myself and wondering what the hell was wrong with me. In the end,I couldn't even go through with it, and ended up getting burned in the bargain.

      I agree. If the way people show up in these comments are comparable to how they show up in the relationship than it makes perfect sense why the avoidant would want to move away from it. The comments can be volatile and chaotic which is the opposite of what an avoidant wants. It's definitely telling the way people show up after a break up. I remember being angry at my avoidant ex a few years ago and saying negative things yet when I spoke to our mutual friends, he had nothing but great things to say about me. That made me do a ton of self-reflecting and I decided to heal that part of myself.
