As sad as it may sound, one of the most difficult and frustrating positions for a woman to be in is not knowing if a man is into her or not.
The idea of new love and butterflies will take over, irrespective of the other person’s proclamation or not. And this is where the problem begins. We lift ourselves to a point where we expect too much and wait for them to reciprocate. However, it might not happen because he was never that into you, to begin with.
To save you the misery of this predicament, we have listed out the top 7 signs that he’s just not that into you and you must not pin too many hopes here:
1. One of the biggest signs is his texting habit

If he’s never the first to text or even call, responds late and sounds disinterested to carry the conversation forward, then he is just not that into you. Men are just like us when they like someone. They become obsessive and keep a close eye on their inbox to see if there is a response. If you don’t have one, then it is your cue to take back them feelings.
2. Does he get even a little jealous?

This is not the ‘charging at the other guy who glanced at you’ kind of jealous. That is crazy. This is the subtle yet awkward jealousy that they can’t put into words. They wish you would give them attention in front of the other person so that they know that you two are a thing–kind of jealous. If he’s not jealous, girl, you are friend-zoned.
3. You haven’t met any of his friends, have you?

This also shows that he doesn’t spend a lot of time with you. Men love their friendships too and this is just a way of easing someone into your life–by introducing them to your friend circle. You can beat around the bush all you want but see if they are up for a group session to hangout.
4. Your equation with him is a big ball of convenience on his end

You are wrapped around his pinky finger and work according to his schedule. You meet when he is free, you don’t get a response if he’s busy and his gaming gets more attention than you do. Come on! In the beginning even the most self-consumed man gives a girl attention, then why is he so disinterested? This is a sign.
5. He is not treating you differently

You don’t catch him looking at you in a room full of people, he doesn’t offer to drop you home, and overall he is indifferent. This is bad! He has to show that he cares through his actions. It is a lot like grandma’s advice on love–“what is love if it is not said or shown?”
6. You don’t get to hear the personal stuff about him

He doesn’t share his stories with you. Every conversation is surface level and that is a sign that he’s not comfortable around you. If a man likes a woman, he wants to share personal and intimate details with her.
7. You don’t feel like he’s into you

Despite all these signs being there, we could be wrong. He could still be into you and he has different ways of showing it. The biggest and the best judge of it all is you at the end of the day. If you feel like he is interested, then you go ahead. And if you don’t then you just have to accept it.
8. Bonus Point: If he doesn’t text or call during a lockdown, girl, he is NOT THAT into you

This is the ultimate truth. He’s at home, probably on his phone throughout the day and if he still complains about not having time, then he’s just not prioritising you. He would take out time if he cared.
So now you have your answer, sis.
