They don't automatically feel threatened as they would in a relatiotionship that is getting serious.
It allows you to protect yourself and also protect a connection that may have genuine potential or room to develop.

They don't have to give more because the relationship is already functioning for them at the level you have accepted.
They may not quite understand it themselves because they may still find their partner attractive, still care deeply about them...
The point is not that you should always wait. The point is that your action should be deliberate, not reactionary or impulsive.
This approach lowers defensiveness. It communicates awareness without cornering the avoidant or making them feel...
Their regret does not have the emotional urgency or pressure that often drives one to apologize, make the necessary change...
