Ladies... let me be clear.
When a man says "I don't feel the same anymore," it doesn't happen suddenly.
It's built up over months of tiny emotional micro-incisions.
Triggers that keep telling him he's not being heard.
He can't connect.
He feels small.
Or maybe he's been constantly looking for the right feelings in the wrong places.
And that's why if you understand what it actually means to "lose the feelings," you can bring him back and not through some cheap tactic... but through a place where a man makes you feel like "home" again.
Kiran and I have been through this too.
You probably don't know that this is exactly what triggered our seven-month separation.
Feelings don't disappear; sentiments wither away as they are suppressed.
And if they are given back the right place, the right space they resurface.
So today I'm writing about what men like me honestly feel when they say "I lost feelings."
And how you can get back to that place where that man wants you again.
Without losing his dignity.
Without begging.
And without the need for manipulation.
1. First, understand: A man doesn't lose feelings … he loses himself
When a man says, “I don’t feel it anymore,”
what he’s really saying is,
“I’ve changed into a version of myself who can’t feel good around you.”
He didn't walk away from you because you were lacking.
He walked away because he was fed up with the neglect, pressure, misunderstanding, or emotional noise within himself.
A man always goes to a place where he can feel significant.
Where his voice is heard.
Where he matters.
And the funny thing is this –
the girl from whom he is moving away is the one whom he misses the most later on…
because he never consciously wanted to leave that place.
2. You can't make him return your feelings but you can create that space again
Here women make the biggest mistake.
She thinks feelings
→ come back from explaining
→ come back from sending long texts
→ come back from promises
→ come back from emotional reasoning
→ come back from reminding “look how much time we spent”
No.
Men don't become emotionally open out of logic.
They become so out of experience.
They become so out of atmosphere.
They become so out of safety.
The feelings within that man re-ignite only when he gets “breathing space” again.
Your first task here:
get yourself out of that chase mode.
The mode that drains your energy into desperation.

3. Attraction never returns from memories… it returns from a “new vibe”
You can sit up all night reminiscing about old things,
but a man doesn't come back from that memory.
He comes back from a change in vibe.
When you shift from within –
his gaze changes automatically.
And women underestimate this thing.
When you change your emotional gravity,
the effect of your presence changes completely.
This is what Kiran learned during our separation –
when she changed her energy,
the same suppressed feelings within me suddenly started rising.
And this is the pattern of every healthy re-attraction story.

4. If he's lost his feelings... then you shouldn't be the "same girl" anymore.
Here's the brutal truth:
The version of you that you were with him
that version wasn't arousing excitement in him.
There was comfort, there was pattern, there was history...
but spark?
No.
And the spark isn't created by a text.
It's created by your upgraded presence.
The most powerful quote in the world:
When a man sees that
you are the same but upgraded.
You are the same but grounded.
You are the same but lighter.
You are the same but more secure in yourself.
That's where the "I shouldn't have lost this" fire inside him comes back to life.

5. Now for the real place: Why did he walk away from you really?
What do you think caused it?
Did you text less often?
Did you have less time?
Did you become more intense?
Did he stop trying?
No.
The real reason usually lies elsewhere
a person becomes emotionally shut down when they feel:
• The depth of his words isn't reaching you
• He isn't being valued as a leader or equal
• He feels misunderstood
• He's constantly on the defensive
• He feels like he can't make you happy
• He feels guilty that he wasn't a good partner
• He's under pressure but can't speak up
And from there the feelings don't evaporate
they become numb.
And a person does not run away from the numb state…
he just becomes silent.
6. How do you get the feelings back?
This part is tricky because 90% of women make the same mistakes here that push him further away. A man is attracted back
not by love, but by self-perception.
Meaning?
When he feels like, "I can be my best self in this relationship,"
that's where the attraction comes back.
You need to do three things:
Do not trigger guilt or pressure in him
because due to guilt a man does not want closeness – he wants distance.
Making your energy grounded and unpredictable
Yes, even predictable love becomes dead love.
Stop putting validation in his lap.
When you stop pulling validation from him,
only then will his eyes start to rest on you.

7. Subtle pull-back: The most underrated method
You may have been told to cut off contact after a breakup.
But the real magic isn't just in no contact.
The magic is in the energy you create during no contact.
A man notices:
• When you start to feel light
• When you stop reacting
• When you stop seeking approval
• When you start to carry a different kind of calmness
A curiosity wells up inside him.
“Where did this shift come from within him?”
And from there, the attraction begins to breathe again.
8. How does the conversation start again now?
Men get irritated by long paragraphs,
confused by a cold tone,
and uncomfortable by needy text.
You literally just need three qualities:
• unexpected
• short
• no emotional pressure
And slowly, in a very subtle way, you activate something within him –
self-initiated pursuit, meaning he leans towards you.
From there his lost feelings start awakening again.
9. Has his trust been damaged?
The timing will be different
if the separation was related to trust
whether cheating, dishonesty, over-reacting, accusations
then the pattern and timeline are different.
You cannot bring about the same behavior at all.
Trust-rebuilding is the most delicate psychology of a connection,
and navigating it without a good framework is dangerous.

10. And finally: feelings don't disappear... they change direction
And the direction can be changed again.
If you're grounded, not desperate.
If you're evolving, not proving.
If you're attracting, not chasing.
A man who says “I lost feelings” what
he is really saying is,
“I want to go back to that place… but I can't see the way.”
And you are that way.
But only if you are operating from a place where you yourself are safe, mature, calm, and emotionally aligned.
And the day your presence once again soothes his nervous system
he'll return on his own.
On his own.
Witho
ut being prompted.
Without being pulled.
Without you having to push him.
Because the feelings weren't dead.
They were just suppressed.
And now you're giving them space to breathe again.
