You replay your conversations over and over in your head. &nbsp;You&rsquo;ve gone over the details of the dates with your BFF, asking her opinion on if she thinks he&rsquo;s feeling what you are feeling. &nbsp;You REALLY like this guy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But. &nbsp;For some reason, he isn&rsquo;t texting you, or not very much. &nbsp;There really isn&rsquo;t much in the way of phone contact, either. &nbsp;Your Instagram and Facebook posts are not getting any likes from him. &nbsp;You tell yourself he&rsquo;s just super busy or wants to respect your space, or maybe he just lost his phone. &nbsp;That could happen, right? But deep down, you already know what&rsquo;s going on. <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You suspect he&rsquo;s just not that into you. &nbsp;<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p>Here are seven signs that will tell you without words that he isn&rsquo;t into you.<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> &nbsp;(We&rsquo;re sorry. &nbsp;But isn&rsquo;t it better to know this know before you invest any more emotion into this one-way relationship?)<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1-You-always-have-to-initiate-contact\"><\/span>1. You always have to initiate contact<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> send the first text, email or leave the first voice mail. &nbsp;You&rsquo;ve never woken up to a cheery &ldquo;good morning&rdquo; text, but you&rsquo;ve sent him a couple of those. &nbsp;He never responds quickly, either. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sometimes you wait a couple of days to hear back from him, all the time convincing yourself that he must be really really busy. &nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Guess what? &nbsp;When a guy&rsquo;s into you, he could be closing the biggest deal the stock market&rsquo;s ever seen, and he&rsquo;d still have time to send you a &ldquo;Thinking about you&rdquo; text.&nbsp;<\/span><\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2-He-doesn%E2%80%99t-seem-excited-about-setting-up-the-next-date\"><\/span>2. He doesn&rsquo;t seem excited about setting up the next date<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When a guy is into you, he wants to lock in the next time he is going to see you. &nbsp;At the end of the first date, he&rsquo;ll set up something concrete&hellip;not a vague &ldquo;well, get in touch if you ever want to do anything.&rdquo; &nbsp;And it will always be this way&hellip;you&rsquo;ll never wonder at the end of a date if you will see him again. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If he doesn&rsquo;t set up the next date, he&rsquo;ll text you the following day, telling you how much fun he had and asking you if you&rsquo;d be free to meet up, say, this weekend.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you aren&rsquo;t getting that from him it means he really isn&rsquo;t that interested in you.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3-He-treats-you-like-an-option\"><\/span>3. He treats you like an option<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A guy who is into you makes you feel like you are his priority, not his second (or third) choice. &nbsp;Does he arrive late to all your dates? <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Does he keep his cell phone out on the table, taking calls or texts during your time together (and not even apologizing for it!)? &nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Are his eyes scanning the room, checking out other women? &nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sorry, he&rsquo;s not into you. &nbsp;You are just a placeholder until something better comes along.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4-Your-conversations-center-around-him\"><\/span>4. Your conversations center around him<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-32160 size-full\" title=\"Your conversations center around him\" src=\"https:\/\/image.marriage.com\/advice\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Your-conversations-center-around-him.jpg\" alt=\"Your conversations center around him\" width=\"804\" height=\"350\"><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Are you noticing that he never asks you anything about <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">your<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> life? &nbsp;Or, if you volunteer information about what you do for work or your hobbies, he doesn&rsquo;t try to delve deeper into that, asking you to tell him more? &nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When a guy is into you, he focuses on you.<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> &nbsp;<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He wants to know everything that makes you, you<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your conversations are a true back and forth, with lots of interaction (and laughs!). &nbsp;You both don&rsquo;t want the evenings together to end. If there is a lack of questions, this means he really isn&rsquo;t into you. &nbsp;Don&rsquo;t waste any more words on this one; move on to the next!<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5-His-online-dating-profile-states-he-isn%E2%80%99t-looking-for-a-relationship\"><\/span>5. His online dating profile states he isn&rsquo;t looking for a relationship<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">OK, you ignored that, because you thought you weren&rsquo;t wanting to be exclusive, either. &nbsp;But after a few dates, you have some feelings for this guy so you&rsquo;d like to make things exclusive. &nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sorry, just because you feel that way doesn&rsquo;t mean he does, too. &nbsp;Unless he has specifically told you otherwise, you are just one of the girls he has a good time with. &nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There&rsquo;s never going to be anything deeper than what you are doing right now, so go back and look at his online profile, but this time, believe it. &nbsp;He isn&rsquo;t relationship material, and he states that upfront.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6-You-can%E2%80%99t-tell-if-he-is-into-you\"><\/span>6. You can&rsquo;t tell if he is into you<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you recount your date night to your BFFs, you ask them what they think this or that means. &nbsp;&ldquo;He seemed interested. I mean he paid for my drinks.&rdquo; Guess what? When a guy is truly into you, there is no questioning his interest. &nbsp;He will tell you. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He will say how happy he is to be spending time with you. &nbsp;He will want to make sure you&rsquo;ve got another date on the books together. &nbsp;He will keep his eyes on you the entire evening, and the message will be crystal clear: &nbsp;he likes you and wants to see where this relationship can go. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There won&rsquo;t be any ambiguity, and you will not have to ask your girlfriends their opinion on the matter. &nbsp;You will know<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"7-He-doesn%E2%80%99t-make-you-part-of-his-life\"><\/span>7. He doesn&rsquo;t make you part of his life<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A guy who keeps you at a distance is not into you. &nbsp;If you never meet his buddies, get invited to his work events, are asked to just come over and hang out and watch a movie together&hellip;he&rsquo;s not into you.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There&rsquo;s an adage that is worth remembering: &nbsp;when someone shows you who he is, believe him.<\/span><\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> So stop making excuses for this guy&rsquo;s subpar behavior towards you, and go out and meet someone who treats you as you deserve to be treated. Someone who is totally, utterly, over-the-moon into you.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false,"raw":""},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You&rsquo;ve had a couple of great dates with a new guy. &nbsp;You&rsquo;re feeling hopeful for the first time in months. &nbsp;Is there going to be some traction here?
