If you’re a gay man who keeps falling for men who are emotionally unavailable, inconsistent, or never quite ready to commit, this free guide is for you. You’ll learn why you’re so drawn to these men, the red flags you might be missing, and what you can start doing differently, without abandoning yourself.

You might recognize yourself in some of this:
You keep asking yourself, “Why do I keep attracting emotionally unavailable men?”
You feel a strong pull toward men who are hot‑and‑cold, avoidant, or never fully available.
You notice the same gay dating red flags, but you ignore them because the chemistry feels so strong.
You’ve wondered, “Why am I attracted to emotionally unavailable men?” and feel ashamed or frustrated with yourself.
You’re scared that if you stop chasing these men, there won’t be anyone left to date.
You’re not alone, and you’re not broken. There are real reasons why this keeps happening, especially for gay men.

I’m Lonay, a gay relationship coach, RTT® practitioner, and hypnotherapist. I work with gay men who are tired of chasing emotionally unavailable men, repeating the same patterns, and feeling like love is always just out of reach.
I created this free guide because so many of my clients come to me asking:
“Why do I attract emotionally unavailable men?”
“Why do I keep ignoring the red flags in gay dating?”
“Is there something wrong with me?”
The answer is NO, there’s nothing wrong with you.
But there are patterns, beliefs, and nervous system responses that can be understood and changed.
This guide is a gentle first step in that direction.
Often, we’re attracted to what feels familiar, not what’s healthy. If you grew up around inconsistency, emotional distance, or conditional love, men who are emotionally unavailable can feel strangely “normal.” In the guide, I break down why this happens and how it shows up specifically for gay men.
Some red flags in gay dating include: constant mixed signals, avoidance of emotional topics, only wanting to meet on their terms, disappearing after intimacy, or never making concrete plans. The guide walks you through specific red flags in gay relationships and early dating so you can spot them sooner.
Some men do change, but only when they are genuinely willing to do their own inner work over time. The problem is that many gay men wait and hope for change while abandoning themselves. In the guide, I share a grounded perspective on this question and what you can focus on instead.
