    152. How To Tell If They're Emotionally Unavailable (And Signs You Are Too)
    Feb 28 2025
    In this episode, I'm breaking down what emotional availability is, why it's important, how it relates to attachment style and signs your date isn't emotionally available. I share tips on how to navigate this and when it's a dealbreaker vs not. At the end, I get into signs you might be the emotionally unavailable one and steps to take toward becoming more emotionally available. Signs someone is emotionally available episode Questions: Do I feel secure and confident in where I stand with them? Do they communicate openly and consistently? When I express my needs, do they listen and respond? Do they follow through on what they say? Do they make space for me in their life? Do they show up emotionally when I need support? Are they able to acknowledge their emotions and past relationship patterns? Do I feel like I can be fully myself around them? If I were to stop putting in effort, would this relationship still move forward? PARTNERS!
