This is a Intention question: Attention vs Intention is the pattern that decides what this behavior means.
Quiet Ntel reads this through Intention, not through emotional guessing. The issue sits in Seriousness / Want vs Access, so the page should separate what appears to be happening from what the structure is doing. The next step is to route the reader toward Is He Serious About Me / Mixed Signals.
The reader is trying to interpret want vs access as a personal verdict instead of reading it as a decision pattern.
