In general, women tend to get emotionally attached faster and more often than men. If you want to avoid attachment to a guy, or at least decrease the chances of falling too fast and too soon, you can try the following:
Work on your independence
The more self-reliant you are, the less you will feel the need for someone to support you, at least emotionally. Stay busy and productive, and you will take pride in being able to help yourself.
Expand your social horizons
Hanging out with your friends and opening up to new acquaintances will keep you too preoccupied to focus on just one person. If you think you are starting to get too attached, be more active in your social circle.
Be friends first
This is the best way to get to know a guy better without getting attached. Of course, there is always the possibility that you will fall in love with your friend, but if you consider that the two of you are just that, friends, then you are less likely to hold on.
Don’t have sex right away
In fact, you should try to avoid any kind of sexual or even sensual encounters. Women tend to become more attached after having gone all the way with the guy, so to avoid getting emotionally attached, try not to open the shortcut to him.
Grow up
It’s not about age. The point here is that you must be emotionally mature, in control of your feelings instead of them controlling you. The more you can control yourself … the better it will be for you in the long run.
Believe that you are loved
Clinging emotionally against your better judgment could mean that you are being sucked into your need to be loved, accepted, and wanted. Work on your confidence. Love and like yourself first. Knowing and believing this, you wouldn’t be unconsciously desperate to find someone who will.
Let go of romance novel fantasies
Romantic movies are there primarily to entertain. Don’t think that a guy who catches your eye is your handsome prince or protagonist. It could well be an extra in the plot of your love story.
If you two are meant to be, then you are meant to be, even if you wait a little longer, even if you take it easy. Don’t strangle the relationship, or what could be a possible relationship, by tying an emotional leash around your fragile neck.
