Unavailability creates tension: will they reply or not, come closer or disappear again? Unpredictable attention is experienced especially intensely. A rare warm gesture begins to feel more important than steady care simply because we had to wait so long for it.
Sometimes this kind of infatuation is also safer than real intimacy. In fantasy, there is no need to negotiate every day, reveal imperfections or risk discovering that the real person is nothing like the one we imagined.
A useful question is not only “What do I feel?” but also “What is actually happening between us?” Are there consistent actions, mutual interest and room for your needs - or does the relationship mainly live in anticipation of the next signal?
The image may be beautiful. But intimacy begins where two people are present, not one person and a multitude of guesses.
The stars speak. You decide.
