Keeps the door ajar so you stay an option.

Is he keeping you as an option?

Maintaining access is keeping the door ajar without ever walking through it. He will not commit and will not let go, so warmth reappears whenever you start to move on. The tell is timing: closeness tracks your distance, not his interest.

Cómo se ve en la conversación

• He doesn’t want the relationship, but he also won’t let the door close.
• Flirty or intimate texts surface exactly when you seem to be moving on.
• Labels stay fuzzy: “not ready,” “things are complicated,” “who knows.”
• You’re kept informed enough to wait, never enough to be chosen.
