Signs an avoidant person is interested in you?

Just that really.
I don’t know many avoidant people.
So I’m just looking for signs that one has feelings for you?

I'm probably avoidant. I'd say if they keep reaching out to you then they are interested. From what I understand avoidants do seek relationships, they just become fearful as they progress...I think a lot of avoidants are very good at the early stages of a relationship too, before feelings become an issue?

I would recommend you dont label the relationship, dont add pressure. Just see each other, preferably under the guise of 'friends'. I tend to retreat when I feel my freedom is going to be curtailed or expectations of me get too high. My best relationships have been where I've not been asked to commit, then I will happily see the other person a lot, essentially have a fullish relationship but without the label.

Not sure I'd ever get married or buy a house with someone though Grin

I’m definitely avoidant. Only had one relationship. Always ran a mile before, as soon as anything begins to progress.

I’m the same with friends too; I have no close friends as I push them away when they begin to get too close. I like friends, but without the pressure of having to see them or have demands made of me.
