During initial dating phase, when should you expect some emotional labor from men?

With men, nothing gets better, it only gets worse because they put the most effort in the beginning. So if there was no effort in the beginning, that tells you everything.

Never date for potential and never date hoping he'll change or get better, you're fooling yourself.

When someone shows you who they are, you need to believe them. He’s already shown you he’s not an empath. When he was able to text you, he went straight to work being busy than sending you kind words. Sis, I wouldn’t expect him to change.

Do not date potential. If you cannot accept him as he is now, then you need to make your exit. Never fall into the trap of believing that a man’s behaviour improves over time, especially if he is showing you this behaviour in the honeymoon stage.

Dump him. A man recently confessed to me he liked me and we hadn’t even been on any dates yet. Something came up in my personal life and I dumped all of it on him emotionally (but didn’t expect him to take actions as there were no actions for him to take). He handled it very well and we ended up on a first date a couple weeks later.

If he can’t even handle that then dump.
