The guy will be sending all kinds of subtle (or even direct) signs that he's not "available" or interested in something "serious", but the woman ignores them and just pays attention to the fact that he likes being with her when they're together.
In other words, she substitutes the physical connection, or even the occasional emotional connection, for the real relationship she wants to be in.
WRONG!

Men have a different "love equation" from women:
A strong connection does NOT necessarily equal any interest in a relationship.
That's why it's CRITICAL that women learn to read the signals that a man sends about where he's at.
Because he's surely not going to just lay it all out there for you.
I promise.
If he does, write me an email, tell me all about it, and give me his mailing address so I can send him his prize.
When a guy isn't interested in a relationship, and he's hiding something like seeing other women, here's what most women start doing that makes things go from bad to worse...
They start trying to "fix" things, and "fix" the guy.
And then comes the "convincing" behavior, trying to convince the man that they are the right one for him, and that because they have such a great connection, a loving "relationship" is the only right way to go.
I know, it sounds bizarre.

Why would a man have a great woman and a great connection with her that felt amazing when they were together, and not want a relationship?
I'll get to that later...
The thing I'm worried about here for you is that in trying to get your guy back, you're making these mistakes that are like "man-repellent".
So I'll say it again. You can't convince a man to want to be with you. I don't know the specifics surrounding your off-and-on with the ex, but it speaks volumes.
Especially when it's combined with him not "knowing what he wants". This is CLASSIC man-speak for "I'm not emotionally available and I'm not ready for a real relationship".
When he can't get in touch with his feelings and isn't open to exploring them, it's a text-book case of unavailability.

I don't mean that he can't share feelings or some level of intimacy with you....
In fact, I'm sure he still likes to connect with you when things are easy-going and he's not feeling "pressure" around you.
But your ex sharing his feelings with you can easily confuse you into thinking that he is potentially the right guy and ready for a long term relationship.
I'm sure you've seen this since you've been back and forth with him. But when a guy is unavailable, he has a fear of getting deeper into a relationship that he knows he's not ready for.
http://www.elitematelove.com In his own way he's tried to tell you this several times.
Here's what he's saying:
Yes, I have "feelings" for you.
And no... that doesn't mean I want to be in a relationship with you and be faithful.
Take some time to think about the past with your ex, and then compare that to what will honestly make YOU happy, and what kind of relationship you want in your future.

If you're honest about it with yourself, I don't think he'll fit well into that based on his actions and behavior.
Put more value on his actions, not his words.
