How to Tell If the Guy You're Dating is Not Really Interested in You

Avery Bennett
Many women wonder for hours or days if the guy they like is really interested in them. We interpret tiny signals from men as being really interested in us. The truth is that lots of men love to put women in the gray area by confusing you emotionally. Some women refuse to pay attention to the obvious signs a man is giving her. Here are some great ways to tell if the guy you are dating is not really interested in you.

You hardly ever see him. You may think in your own head that you are dating a man, but if you never see him, it's time to be realistic. A man can have so many excuses as to why he cannot take you out or see you often. Sometimes he will paint a sob story to make you feel bad for him, like having to work so much, or family problems, etc. I used to fall for all of these things. The truth of the matter is, don't imagine you are dating someone who is interested in you only some time and makes constant excuses not to see you. If a man is really interested in a woman he will make time to see her. There is no exception to this.

He constantly breaks promises. If a man constantly breaks promises to you, no matter how small, it is a giant red flag. A man who is really interested in a woman will not let her down or break his word often. A man who respects you will not want to constantly disappoint you. If a man often says he will call you back and does not, this is a sign that he doesn't care about you or your feelings. A man who stands you up for a date, or is constantly late is non verbally communicating his lack of interest for you.

You have no idea where you stand in the relationship. So many times a woman is confused about her relationship with a man. She doesn't know if they are friends, dating, committed, etc. If the man you are dating has not made anything clear as to his feelings for you or what he wants you to be, he is not really interested in you. He may just be dating you out of boredom or for sex, but he is not genuinely interested in a relationship with you. Don't exaggerate and make phone calls and an occasional dinner a relationship in your head. If commitment hasn't been mentioned, you are not in a committed relationship. If a man cares about you, he is not going to want you available to date other men.

The bottom line is to trust your gut instinct. Don't allow your feelings for a guy to ignore the facts. Don't analyze every little thing a guy does to mean something. If a man wants you, he will show you that. There will be no doubt as to a man's real feelings for you.
