If a man texts, āLet's just go with the flow,ā resist the urge to explain your feelings and try to convince him. Men usually use this phrase to delay responsibility and decisions.
The connection will naturally have reached a crossroads and tension will be rising. The energy will be that of, āWhat now? Where do we want to take this?ā
Many women will respond by trying to act chill, accept uncertainty and hope clarity comes later. Did you know that the difference between commitment and confusion, a relationship and a situationship, is tolerance for uncertainty?
While requests like let's go with the flow, let's allow things to unfold naturally or let's cross the bridge when we get there may sound casual, it's a subtle tactic to keep his options open while testing emotional access with you.
If you accept the ambiguity you'll be the one to adapt. Before long, you'll have become so emotionally invested that you lose your autonomy. This will hand him all the power.
Did you know that men don't commit to a woman because she's easygoing and accommodating? They only commit when their tests for laxity are met with uncompromising standards.
You should respond with something along the lines of, āI only date with intention and I don't drift. I will take your decision against commitment as a commitment itself not to get into anything serious. I will readily step back since it seems we're seeking different things.ā
This is emotional stability, high self worth and refusal to play games all in one bundle.
Because you have removed the comfort of ambiguity without pressuring or arguing, he'll be forced to make a decision quickly whether to act right or lose you.
Lastly, follow your message with a made up mind. Do not accept to be led on. Retreat emotionally until he requests something clear.
Do not accept to be just friends. That's a bargain to keep you ambiguously accessible. Yes, you're not becoming enemies but after some lines have been crossed emotionally there cannot be neutrality so soon. You're moving on with your life unless they choose to commit to you
