I came across something online (I know I shouldn’t base my opinions solely on random reads) but it’s something I’ve actually heard from quite a few people too, that once you’re in a relationship you need to keep the man guessing like apparently, you have to maintain this air of mystery so that he stays engaged and interested. Otherwise, he’ll get bored and move on to a girl who ignores him.
On one hand, I find this whole idea kind of ridiculous coz I feel like a relationship should be built on openness and vulnerability showing your love and not shying away from it especially since I’m in long distance rn, I feel like it’s even more important to express affection clearly because how else do you stay connected from afar?
But on the other hand, since I’m pretty new to the whole relationship thing too, I can’t help but wonder, is there some truth to it? Do people actually lose interest if things get too comfortable or predictable?
Is this just nonsense or is there a healthy balance I’m missing here?
