Why He Ran Away From You, Based On His Birth Month

Ever had someone pull away right when things start feeling real, leaving you replaying every conversation like it is a psychological crime scene? It is frustrating, but relationship psychology suggests this kind of “sudden distance” is often less about the other person being incapable of love and more about emotional triggers tied to attachment style, vulnerability, and fear of intimacy.

Read on to explore how different birth months are playfully associated with why he might have pulled away and what those patterns might reveal about emotional readiness in relationships.

April

The April-born man loves his independence, and he also loves to flirt. He runs away when his partner becomes possessive or controlling (the April-born man does NOT like to be controlled). Don’t complain about how he stared at the attractive waitress every time she walked by, and don’t act like you need him 24/7; if you do, he’ll most likely run the other direction.

May

May men are extremely trustworthy, but they aren’t quick to trust others. Becoming too close too soon for someone born in May scares him because he doesn’t feel like he knows who you truly are yet, and whether or not you’re worth it for him. Give someone born in May time before trying to tie him down. Let him get close to you first.

June

Unfortunately someone born in June is very indecisive. He likes to keep his options opened because he wants the best, and he continues to question whether you’re it. He is fueled by thrill and excitement so when you start becoming close he’s afraid being with only one person will become monotonous and boring.

July

July men are sadly insecure, and they love it when you make the first move, but it’s the moves that come after the first that make him run. The July-born man becomes scared when you start getting close because he has an overwhelming amount of emotion towards you and he’s worried you might break his heart.

August

The August-born man is confident and he knows exactly what he wants, which is your attention, time, and energy. His confidence often leads him to believe that he’s the apple of every woman’s eye, which then leads him to becoming a perpetual bachelor. He runs when you attempt to get closer because his greatest fear is settling.

September

September men are notorious for wanting to take their time. They need to analyze and dissect every aspect of what you two have going on, and when you try to rush it they haven’t gathered all of the information they need. Someone born in September needs you to be patient.

October

October men are pretty superficial and they’re also very charming. Ironically, their charming personality makes you think they’re a perfect person to have a relationship with, but as soon as you start expressing the desire for anything ‘serious’ the October-born man becomes distant. He doesn’t like to deal with deep emotions and will avoid confrontation at all costs, so when you start getting closer he will slowly begin to move in the opposite direction without much notice or explanation.

November

The November-born man is very assertive, and competitive. He will most likely run away when you start getting close because he enjoys a challenge. Unfortunately, games are something the November-born man loves to play.

December

December men love adventure and live for exploration. They imagine every possibility and want to experience them all. The December-born man doesn’t want to get too close to you because he can’t remain in one place for very long. It takes a while for someone born in December to let someone tie him down, and usually it’s after they’re convinced they’ve experienced every adventure the world has to offer.

January

The January-born man is relentlessly practical, and his practicality often leads him to expect the worst, especially when it comes to relationships. He runs away when you start getting close because he fears you won’t be as serious as he needs you to be if he were to really let you in.

February

February men are allergic to emotions. He runs when you start getting close precisely for that reason, because you’re getting close, and he needs to detach himself as quickly as possible.

March

The March-born man loves love, but he loves it in a way that is unrealistic. He becomes distant when you get close because he has this idealized image of love that he doesn’t think you fit.
