How To Know If Your Partner Is Attracted To You Emotionally

In a relationship, physical attraction is very important. It is usually what pushes two people into the path of a relationship in the first place. If you look at the majority of relationships currently, there is a pattern. This pattern can be divided into three different levels. The first level comprises physical attraction, which includes sparks of sexual appeal, visuals, and allure.

The second level includes compatibility and thirdly but the most important level includes emotional attraction, connection, and understanding, which is responsible for keeping a relationship going even after the honeymoon period is over.

 Today most relationships tend to have short lives due to not being able to cross that bridge of physical attraction and reaching the third stage of emotional intimacy. Emotional connection is necessary for a healthy and long-term relationship. Therefore, if you’re in a relationship and you want to know if your partner is attracted to you emotionally and not just physically, here are some signs:

They Genuinely Listen And Are Interested In Your Daily Conversations

There are many people around us who listen to us just for the sake of keeping a conversation up. They don’t contradict us, when we’re going in the wrong direction, they don’t show much interest nor pay attention to what we actually mean to convey.

All they do is nod or agree. While deep down they have nothing to care about in our lives.

On the other hand, a person who listens to everything we say, asks to follow up questions, shows emotional interest in our conversation, and contradict when needed, is the person who cares about you, your life, your daily doings and if this person happens to be your partner, they’re more like to be emotionally connected to you.

You Are Not Taken For Granted

No one wants to be taken for granted by his or her partner but the chance of it happening in a relationship is relatively high. How do you know if your partner is taking you for granted? Check this out:

They only contact you or seek your company when they need something.

They start to cut their conversations short.

They stop adding pleasantries while talking to you.

They show very little to no interest in your life or conversations.

They provide very little in the relationship as compared to what they receive.

They don’t care about your needs or wants.

They always show up late.

They miss/skip important events and make lame excuses.

They start portraying toxic behaviour.

They start playing the blame game.

They Are Comfortable Being Vulnerable Around You

It is usually hard for most people to let their guard down around others, whereas for a few of them it’s downright the most difficult thing to do.

No matter if your partner lies in the first category of humans or the second one, if they’re comfortable enough to let go of these walls around you, then there’s no other way to say they’re emotionally attached to you.

They Respect Your Personal Space

If your partner is physically attracted to you there’s a good chance that he or she will want to be close to you.

They might want to know what you are doing, talk to you and be around you all the time (at least in the beginning). This behaviour might lead them to come off as a little clingy and at the same time might be annoying for you if it continues for a long time.

On the other hand, a person who’s emotionally attracted to you will know when to give you the necessary personal space that everybody at some point needs in a relationship. They will likely keep your needs before their wants and desires.

If your partner, apart from being there for you, gives you enough personal space to breathe and continue with your life then there’s a good chance that the emotional connection they have with you is pretty strong.

You Can Not Only Have Deep Conversations But Can Also Sit-In Peaceful Silence.

Yes, having deep conversations is an important sign in determining whether a couple has developed an emotional connection or not, I mean we cannot have deep conversations with every person who walks past us.

But if you’re able to sit in silence just as easily as you’re able to have deep conversations without feeling awkward, then you’ve just hit a golden stage of emotional intimacy.

The deep conversation also conveys that you both have established vulnerability around each other, which is something every couple should strive for in the walk towards a healthy relationship.

You Can Talk About Everything Without Feeling Awkward Or Judged

If you feel like you can talk about anything and everything with your partner without having to think, what they will think or say? Then, my friend, I am happy to say that both of you have reached a level of ultimate understanding, which is also a direct sign of the emotional connection between you two.

If you know that your partner doesn’t judge you for things that others might have mixed options on. Then you both are absolutely on the right path.

Irrespective of how serious a relationship gets if your spouse understands the situation and acts accordingly, then know that your partner is likely emotionally attracted towards you.

You Feel Seen And Understood.

It’s important for a person to be seen by his/her partner. Being seen by your partner goes hand in hand with how much physical and emotional attraction you both are as a couple.

 Good understanding within couples is one of the pillars of a healthy, long-term relationship.

So,  if you feel like you have reached a level of mutual understanding with your partner then it’s likely that you two have set up an emotional connection but If you are yet to reach that level of understanding, then there’s no need to panic. You both can try these steps to facilitate that connection, which includes:

Listen to your partner and pay attention to them.

Try to understand what your partner actually is trying to convey. It’s not always about the words that are being said.

Create a no-judgment zone with your partner.

Be clear with your wants and needs, instead of molding your words or being confusing.

Practice empathy.

Aspire to understand your partner before wanting to be understood.
