He may be giving you mixed signals because he's afraid of commitment or he doesn't know what he wants. It's possible that he's using you, either for sex, validation, or attention. If he's your ex, he may be trying to win you back. He could be toxic, controlling, or playing games with your feelings.
If he has pulled away or ghosting you it does not always mean he is not interested. Keep your interactions positive. Let him know you are there for him. Do not beg, plead, or force him to open up his feelings.
Broadly speaking, intimacy means deeply knowing someone, while also feeling deeply known yourself. It is something humans crave, and though at times, it may seem more difficult for men to express it, that doesn't mean they don't need or want it.
More than anything, an emotional connection with your partner is the ability to have deep, substantial conversations about things you'd struggle to talk to just anyone about—feelings, friends, family entanglements, politics, religion, goals and dreams.
In plain language: Men often feel most loved by the women in their lives when their partners hug them, kiss them, smile at them, and explicitly offer gratitude, praise, and words of affection. Men also feel loved and connected through sexuality, often to a greater degree than women do.

Sex is an important part of creating emotional intimacy, but so if physical touch. Hold hands, rub his back, hug, put your arms around each other, and kiss him to maintain a connection when you're not between the sheets.
Intimacy refers to a level of closeness where you feel validated and safe. In relationships, four types of intimacy are key: emotional, physical, mental, and spiritual. If you feel you fear intimacy of any type, or your loved one does, seeking the support of a therapist may help you.
Men secretly crave to talk about their feelings, men want to be understood, they want to know how to be more vulnerable in relationships, to let their emotions out, and — just like everyone else — want others to care about their feelings. As humans, we need to feel connected to others–to build emotional intimacy.
A high-value woman is many things, but above and beyond, she is a woman who knows her value and only wants people in her life who values her, too. She owns, loves, and respects herself and knows her life is no less abundant without a relationship with a man - and that is what makes her a high-value woman.
