In this advice monologue, Sami Wunder explains how to recognize an emotionally unavailable man by observing his behavior in the early stages of dating. She argues that an emotionally available man will initiate relationship‑defining conversations—such as asking about exclusivity, future plans, or how you feel about him—by roughly the eighth week of dating. If a man has not brought up these topics by that point, he may be keeping you in a casual, non‑committal “dating market” and is likely emotionally unavailable. Wunder emphasizes that many men are rational and smart, and their avoidance of commitment signals can be a deep sign of emotional unavailability.

when you understand the psychology of an emotionally available man, he's not going to leave you open to be rotationally dated by other men forever. He's going to bring the conversation of, where is this going? Do you want to be my girlfriend? What's happening in our future? How do you feel about me? And if a man doesn't bring this up by week 8, we might be having a problem. Now, we might be dealing with somebody who just wants to access you more casually, without offering you a label, without defining the connection. Guys are extremely rational, they're extremely smart, and if a man is not offering to take you off the dating market around the 8-week mark, we have a problem. And that could be a deep sign of emotional unavailability.
