Why He Disappeared

Have you ever been left wondering why he disappeared. He vanished just like Houdini. Maybe a better question is HOW MANY TIMES have you been left wondering why men disappear. It's common sadly. Maybe you have one of those men that come and go in and out of your life. You wonder why he goes when he goes if he is only going to come back again. It's frustrating to say the least. It's also painful. You are probably getting tired of getting hurt. Maybe you are tired of doing all the heavy work in relationships and are ready for a change.

This lens is about understanding men, why they do what they do and not only what makes men disappear, but what also makes them stay. Men really aren't commitment phobics and most of them do want the same thing that you do. They want a loving woman that gets them, accepts them, and makes them feel good. Men fall in love with how we make them feel. Not all men though are the right man for you. It's just common sense. If you are with the wrong man trying to change him into the right man, it won't work that way. He is likely to disappear. Please read on, if this lens isn't helpful to you, then you may want to read the book, Why He Disappeared.

The Real Truth Why Men Disappear

Why do men disappear? I get asked this question almost every day from many women. Most are smart, savvy succesful women. They go on a few dates or even date for months and the man just disappears. He may do the slow fade, then again, he may just stop calling altogether and vanish. We are often left wondering why guys disappear.

Most women believe that men are basically commitment phobics, but this is really not true. They want a relationship, they want love just like you do. They hope to find that woman that inspires them to get out of the dating pool and settle down. Thing is, it's just as difficult for them to find this woman as it is for us to find that man.

When a man enters into a casual dating relationship with a woman, his first thoughts are always how to get you in bed for the most part. It's what men do. Boys will be boys. Don't fault them for this, it's in their nature. This does not mean you should just hop into bed though.

Although me do think a lot about sex, in the beginning dating stages he is sizing you up as well. Men consider marriage and exclusivity way more than we women give them credit for. He is watching how you handle yourself, how you react in certain situations. He is testing you. He has it in his mind what he wants in a relationship and if you don't meet up to this, well he disappears.

If men vanish on you and you often are left wondering why he disappeared, you might want to learn about what men really want in a relationship. They are really simple creatures, not complicated as we women make them out to be. They are also human, very much so.

When he disappears, well something about you doesn't fit into his perception of a relationship. The common ones are, too needy, acting like a girlfriend before he is ready, mothering him or just giving too much of yourself. When a woman gives too much he feels like he is in debt to her. Not a good feeling. He may not feel like returning the gestures, but feels obligated to do so. No man wants to do anything out of obligation. It takes the fun out of it.

There are many reasons why men disappear. Most women just chalk him up as another jerk. This usually is not the case. You missed something along the way. Men need a few things from you to consider a relationship with you. If you are wondering why he disappeared, chances are you just didn't meet his needs or did not know how to find out what his needs really are.

Why Guys Disappear After Sex

It's pretty common for guys to disappear after sex. I hear it a lot. There are a number of reasons for this, but mainly it boils down to really not having much to do with the fact that he just had sex with you. Of course there are guys out there that are only looking to score, but it's up to you to learn to distinguish the difference.

Guys can tell why you have sex with them. If you are doing it just to please him, he senses it. This spells desperation to him. A guy would rather you have sex because you wanted to. Otherwise he feels as if it's some ploy to trap him. Often women start putting off the vibe that they think they are now in a relationship. Sex does not equal a relationship.

If the truth be told, he was probably going to disappear if you slept with him or not. Many are under the belief that guys see them as easy when they sleep with them to soon. There may be some truth to this, but if the guy is into you to start with, it's not going to matter. Where women screw up with this is that once they sleep with a guy, they are ready to now invest their hearts. This is where the easy comes into play in reality. A man likes to work for your heart. If you give it away quickly, he doesn't see it's value. He thinks he isn't anything special.

If a guy disappears after you have had sex, it's one of two things.

1. He wasn't that into you in the first place. It's really no one to blame here. We can't help who we are or aren't into. I imagine you too have felt like disappearing on a guy after you had sex. Maybe you did it in a moment of weakness and you really didn't like the guy. Maybe you were drunk, who knows, but it happens. We all do it or have done it. That is one reason why he disappeared.

2. The second reason is how you behave afterwards. If you start acting like a girlfriend before he has made that move, it's a turn off. If you got all emotional, well you made him feel guilty. Guilt and sex don't go together. If you expect it to mean something special to him, he will sense it. Most men don't see sex as something special, at least not in the early dating stage.

Then of course there is the chance that you aren't that great in bed. If you were more focused on pleasing him and not focused on allowing him to please you, this is not good. Men feel good when they make you feel good. Picture Tarzan beating his chest and you will get the idea.

Why He Disappeared!

Signs He is Into You

If you are dating a new guy and you ask is he into me, it's what we all do. We have all heard the phrase he is just not that into you and that is not fun. If you are liking him, you of course hope that he is into you. I am going to tell you some sure signs that he is into you. If you have a guy doing the following things, chances are good, he is into you.

* He calls when he says he will. This means he doesn't call hours later or the next day with an excuse.
* He takes you places, meaning it's not your place or his. If it's always your place or his, you might be in a friends with benefits relationship.
* He asks about your life and wants to know how you day is
* He takes you out and is willing to pick you up, you don't have to drive to see him always
* He offers to help you with things, change a light bulb, look at your tires, add a quart of oil
* He compliments you and seems proud of you
* He wants you to meet his friends and family
* He wants to meet your friends and family
* He sticks around after sex
* He texts you at random, just to say hi.
* He picks on you and teases you. Think about gradeschool boys pulling your pigtails in the sandbox.
* He will stop by even if it only means seeing you for a few minutes.
* He spends time with you on the weekends, not just weekdays
* He doesn't call you for booty calls, he respects you enough not to ring your phone in the middle of the night
* Your dates don't revolve around sex, he is fine with just snuggling

If your guy is doing most of the above things, that's a sign he is into you. If he isn't you may just be an option in his book. If he isn't making you a priority in his life, then you may not be his idea of girlfriend material.

Guys have diffent types of girls in their lives. They have the friends with benefits. This is the friend that they have sex with that will never make it to girlfriend status, well because she settled for less and didn't demand more. Friends with benefits is a lost cause and rarely progress to more than heartache.

Then there is the filler girl. A girl they do like, but don't see themselves in a relationship with. They like her but something about her does not inspire him to move her to girlfriend role. She is only filling a position and giving him something to do until he finds someone more interesting.

The last girl is the girlfriend. This is the one he adores and can't wait to see. This is the one you want to be. This girl has done something or there is just something about her that inspires him to take her off the market and claim her as his own. If he is into you, chances are good, he has made you his girlfriend.

Which girl are you. Is he into you and do you know how to inspire a guy to be into you? If you have to ask "is he into me", you might want to work on it some more. You can't force a guy to like you, that's for sure.

If He Blows Hot and Cold

If you are in love with a man that blows hot and cold, girl I feel for you. We have all been there. You have this chemistry with a man, it feels returned. Some days are just amazing. Others you don't even know if he will call or not. Worse, you wonder if you don't call him, would you even hear from him or not? It's a emotional roller coaster that is for sure.

Why do men blow hot and cold? Is he moody? Is it that he loves you but he just hasn't realized it yet. This is what I see a lot. Women staying with this up and down man hoping he will realize that one day he loves her and begins to stop the nonsense back and forth stuff. Many women even attempt to talk to their man about it. Oh this is only going to make it worse, don't talk about it. Men respond to distance, not words.

If you find yourself saying "but it was so great last time we were together, how can he just shut me out like that" you have one of those men that go from cold to hot. If you find yourself saying "but I love him", you have even bigger troubles. A man that changes temperatures is not a man in love. A man in love would not dream of putting you through that emotional push pull. If he is falling in love, you won't be left wondering why he disappeared.

He could be a commitment phobic, he could be emotionally unavailable, but the fact remains, he is what he is, not present in your life like you wished he would be. It's the hot times that keep you holding on. You think if he could just be like this all the time. If he could just see how much I love him, if this, if that.

The fact of the matter is being in love with a man like this is emotionally exhausting. You hold onto how it was in the beginning and ignore how it is now. Fairy dust will not just sprinkle from the sky and transform the hot and cold man into a great partner. Nothing will transform these men into great partners. You are in love with his potential and focused on what could or should be and not what is.

If he was going to become a great partner, he would have already done so. Men don't just wake up one day more interested in you or all of a sudden in love. Men to fall in love have to think about you. A hot and cold man doesn't spend a lot of time thinking about you. Here is a hard truth about these men. His attraction for you is not that strong.

More times than not, men that blow hot and cold may not see you as his dream girl. A man would never blow hot and cold to his dream girl. He might lose her. If he blows hot and cold, you could be just an option for now until someone else comes along. A man who is a good partner would not do this to a woman he truly cares about. He would not lead her on and then disappear for days. He wouldn't call some days and go silent for others.

Some hot and cold men stay around for a long time before they disappear. I have seen men blow hot and cold for one woman and turn around and blow hot all the time for another woman. Are you the fall girl here or his dream girl?

Why He Disappeared

I read "Why He Disapeared" by Evan Mark Katz.
I have also read about 6 other self help/dating type books.
Katz's book was the best.
Very insightful. It helped me put so much in perspective, about the relationships in my life that have failed. It is very practical advice and easy to understand. I also have the audio version and have listened to it many times.

Kat's book is well worth the money!


Email from Dana after reading Why He Disappeared.

Just finished! I feel so more relaxed and calm right now. I feel empowered. The last 5 minutes were great. I really needed to hear what he had to say.

Testimonial From Spunky Mom

Why He Disappeared

Okay girls I am posting about Why he Disappeared. I have had this ebook for several months.

The first time I read it I was not too sure about it, only because of this first off the bat statement : He disappeared because of the way you made him feel. BLAH I thought, this is garbarge.

With that being said I just "Skimmed" throught it.

Well let me tell you, after I have finally, let go, Letting God and getting my head out of "Confusion" I took it out again last night. I could NOT put it down. Awesome read I'll tell ya.

Today I can HONESTLY say I am GLAD he Disappeared.

StickyNote

Thank you so for suggesting the book "Why He Disappeared". I had been with a man in an on again off again relationship for 2 years. After reading this book, I got the courage to set him free. 2 months later I met someone new and fabulous. He won't be disappearing. He gave me a ring!

    If a guy leaves after sex, either that was all he was after or you got clingy or showed something that he didn't like. As you listed, it could possibly be like you acted too interested or like a girlfriend before he was ready.

    There is this guy i have met 2 weeks ago and he was really into me and asked me to go with him and my cousin and his friends out and i was like no. He was giving me a lot of compliments in front of my cousin and his friends, After two days I took his number and i texted him asking if he could come and help me out in some project (he's doing animation in Vancouver university) so he texted me he will come on the afternoon and i was like okay thank you and after a few hours he called saying he will come in 30 minutes and told me to take my stuff so we went for thea in some place, and talked and he was like into me like really into me,so we finished everything and we went to his cousin he's a doctor and than we finished he was like what will you do when u come home? i said i will study and he told me mmm i will play guitar for you hehe so i was like okay, i met his parents said hello and we went to his room so he was showing me some stuff he did and than he started to play guitar and teach me while touching my hands and giving compliments, like he wants me to be his girl and stuff, and there was some eyes connection and we started looking at each other deeply and after awhile he said i can't kiss you you're my cousin's friend! but after a few minutes we kissed and he thought we would have sex and i told him i m virgin he was like in shock, i was stopping him i said him you're going to vancouver in few days and so on, and than i told him to take me home so he took me home and he never called back or even asked about me! i needed some help so i texted him the next day asking about something in a project, and he replied and never talked back, i played stupid after a few days he went to vancouver, ( im in lebanon), so i texted him saying that i enjoyed everything and i don't have a problem with him and i like him a lot and he was like i like u back i didn't text u because i don't wanna hurt you since i m in vancouver but i like you a lot and what hapened was really honest and happy new year hope u achieve everything u wish for this year so i wished him the same and i asked him if he still wanna see me? and he was like well since i m in vancouver:P i dunno, so i said okay and he told me he's going so i said bye, and after a week he talked to me asking what's going on with me? i told him i m okay so we were talking about studies and stuff and than i asked him for a favor he was like yea sure i would love to do u something:D and i was like i have a flash project can u plz help like do it because i need it for 2 days he was like no promises but send me all the stuff u need to send and tell me what u need and i'll try but as i said no promises i was like ok, so the next day i have sent him everything and he went online all the times but he didn't text me or even talked to me
    i was like very angry i needed him at least text me and say he's sorry but he didn't do anything so i feel like this guy was lying to me, now i have deactivated my facebook i wanna disappear i feel so weak and ashamed, the thing is that his home is beside my place andi keep getting memories of that also i found a cup for him when he first came my place it has been more than 2 weeks on the desk and i didn't see so there is some signs and this is killing me,, i don't know what to do and i m hopeless:(

    Rest assured. You did nothing to feel ashamed of or weak. I don't think he was lying to you. It sounds like he did honestly like you and probably still does, but that he is not up to what he thinks you want or need. He did say no promises about helping with the project. Maybe some other things were going on in his life that prevented him from helping and maybe he just doesn't want to explain his actions. Try to move forward and not focus on him and why he did what he did because you may never know why. You made the right decision to not give up your virginity to him.

    If man disappears after sex there are possibly 2 options. Either you were not so great in bed. No not awful but if he also has other options he can chose them instead. Or he got a feeling that you are looking for something serious and he just did not want to commit.

    The advice about not getting stressed and giving things time to develop is so true! When I started dating my boyfriend, I decided that all that stress had never gotten me anywhere, and that I should just relax and see what happened. We've been together a year and half now and things couldn't be better!

    This says it all: Never make him a priority when he is only making you an option. This tells you volumes - you just need to be able to actually recognize it.

    All of the above probably have some truth to the issue-but I know that if I'm not into someone I'll hang around till someone more compatible comes along. The worst case lately was someone who after the 2nd date was bringing her stuff over to my house. I told her twice to take is slow and easy, but 20 texts and 15 voicemails later told me it was time to nip it in the bud. I want someone to do something with, who is not controlling, manipulative or a compulsive liar. I was married to a couple like that. . . . . . .

Why He Disappeared

He stopped calling and texting

It has happened to all of us. We meet a man that sparks our interest, everything seems great and then suddenly he stops calling and he disappears. We are left wondering what did we do wrong. Was it something you said? Why did he disappear?

Once a man disappears, often the women who he disappeared on feels confused. She feels he led her on. He was calling, maybe even spending time with her. In her mind he was relationship material and things were progressing. The fact usually is this. In his mind he wasn't there yet.

Men often justify this disappearing act to themselves by telling themselves they never made any promises. They were just casually dating and there was no commitments. It's easier to disappear than to face the woman and tell her the truth. He is just not into you. It's an easy way out and we can scold him all day long, but it's just the way it is.

When you are wondering why he disappeared, it could be many things. Maybe you gave him signals of neediness or acted like a girlfriend too soon. If you started calling him, asking him questions, or expecting him to justify things to you such as where he was etc..., they you were acting like a girlfriend before he was ready to have you in that role. Guys really like a challenge and if you just fell into this role, this may be why he disappeared and stopped calling.

Another thing to remember is that often men have several options. You may not be the only girl he is showing his attention to. Often men will keep you on the back burner so to speak. They call you, text you, spend time here and there with you. This is to keep you interested enough so that you will remain an option. He is just buying time and having something to do until the one that knocks his socks off comes along. When he thinks he found her, he leaves you in the dust.

This is sad but true. If you think about it, you may have done the same thing. Or perhaps you liked one guy above all the others that were showing you interest. It makes it difficult to focus on the men you aren't so taken with when there is one that has you captivated. This happens to guys too. There is sometimes someone else on his mind that you have no idea about. It's not your fault. He disappears because in his mind, you aren't her.

The best thing to do when a guy stops calling or he disappears is nothing. There is no point in going after him or asking him why. If he isn't investing in you, there is no sense in investing in him. If you go after him and want or demand an explanation, you will just push him further away. Let him go. Most men resurface in time and then perhaps you can have another chance, or chances are, you won't want him anymore.
