Signs that a Guy is Just Not that into You

If upon meeting his best friend, his friend greets you with "Oh, you must be Trixie!" But your name is Dianne, there is a good chance that he is just not that into you.

In keeping with the title of this article, who can resist the well-known, 'You might be a redneck...' format? Yet this can also be a serious issue. Being in a relationship is often times a confusing place to be. More so can be the task of trying to determine what the other person's actions may signify. One's own desires tend to drive that one toward seeing what one wants to see rather than what is apparent. Unfortunately, attractions, affections and their consequential actions are not always equally shared between two people no matter how strong the desire of one.

Presented below, in both a humorous light and with the serious issues at hand, are the top five signs that he is just not that into you.

There is a good chance that he is just not that into you IF...

5) ...you have just paid mega-money for that total WOW makeover and he walks up and says to you, "Did you see Suzy in that new dress at church yesterday? Whooooo-hooooo!"

The real issue: You consistently see and hear from him, interest in other women. Particularly, if it has progressed to a point that you feel you have to compete for his attention.

4) ...you call from the other room, "Honey, what time is it?" And he replies, "5:42 into the second quarter."

The real issue: Generally speaking, one of the greatest fears in the life of a man is that he will miss that one legendary, game-changing play. So be fair. You may need to cut him some slack on this one. However, if he cannot coherently answer a question because he might miss the "after" photo on one of those "before and after" women's weight loss commercials, there may be a more serious underlying issue.

3) ...on Christmas Eve, you give him a card that you hand-picked especially for him and his response is, "Hey, I just remembered that I need to run to the store. You stay here. I'll be right back."

The real issue: He is thoughtless toward you. Perhaps all men occasionally forget a card or a call on a birthday or anniversary. On these types of occasions, there are few reminders. People get busy, stressed or overworked. People forget. It happens. So think reasonably; is this a one time slip? or does this happen consistently and on widely publicized occasions and national holidays that no one could possibly have just let slip by?

2)...you asked him to take you to the last showing of a hit movie but he drives past the theater and pulls into the bar where his buddies hang out every night because he wants them to meet you.

The real issue: He consistently puts his own desires before yours treating you as a token to show off before his friends rather than a partner with your own set of wants and needs.

And the number one sign that he is just not that into you is...

... he calls you to cancel a date because he is sick, but in the background you hear honky-tonk music and someone yell out "Hey Bubba, get off the phone. It's your shot."

Consider this also the number one real issue: Honesty.

Now the real, real issue: The signs are obvious. Does he devote his attention to other women? Are there more interactions with his friends than with you? Are you the last to find out about important events taking place in his life? Is he thoughtless when it comes to opportunities to let you know that he is thinking of you? Is he honest with you in all things? Ask yourself these questions but be careful that you not fall victim to your own desires. Answer honestly within yourself then you will be able to more easily determine if he really is just not that into you.
