"Emotionally Unavailable"

What does this really mean? I mean men say this women say this. I'm "assuming" that most of the time it means that they are still in love with their ex. Its also something people say right before they say stuff like, "I like hanging out with you, I don't want that to stop." They follow that up with, "its up to you tho" Psychologically for any human that means, in time they may be ready for a relationship. After all, relationships take time to build. I've been there before though--being "emotionally unavailable" meant that I was still holding on to what once was. Now, the other explanation could be that the ex has left their heart for dead--scarred them so bad that they don't want to go through that EmotionalStimulation again. Its hard to emotionally let go. Its that vulnerability that is very scary. Letting another person pull the strings on your emotional well-being is scary even if you have deemed the relationship toxic. What happens when you give that person time and they still are "emotionally unavailable"? Most of the time it ends in frustration and resentment. Human emotion sometimes can take words and put them in their pockets only to be washed out with all the other unnecessary things in their lives. In other words, people feel how they feel and words are just temporary afflictions. I will admit though that spending time with someone while being 'emotionally unavailable" is a recipe for confusion, miscommunication, and sometimes emotional bewilderment.
