You can never tell whether he considers you a very close friend or he actually does have feelings for you? You find the same miserable scenario repeating itself over and over again leaving you stuck in awkward situations, struggling with unanswered questions and wondering what on Earth went wrong? You might even end up losing your friend/crush for that matter.
Most probably, weโve all been there at least once. After plenty of research, I came up with several warning signs to stop yourself from getting too emotionally involved if you feel some of them.
- No Physical Contact
If he likes you, it would be impossible for him not to touch you intentionally or NOT. There will always be excuses for him to do so; punch you, remove that small thing stuck in your hair, put his hands on your back or hold your hand when crossing the street ..etcโฆ Itโs the attraction force rule that he simply canโt resist.
- He Never Gets Jealous
It’s men’s nature to become nervous when they feel threatened; thatโs what we call jealousy. If he never shows you a glint of jealousy or if there isnโt a bit of drama every now and then, like for eg.when and where you are going out and with whom, why did this guy text you or why did you blush when he gave you a compliment and blablablaโฆ. then thatโs a RED FLAG.
TIP: Donโt try testing him by making him jealous because it might backfire.
- You Always Find Yourself Initiating Everything
Are you the one always suggesting to go watch this movie you wish youโd see together?! Do you find yourself checking up on him, calling, and texting more than he does? You might even initiate flirting too and BTW if he flirts back it doesnโt count anymore!
- He Brings Up Other Girls That Heโs Interested In
Every now and then thereโs this girl who shows up in your conversations and he makes it quite clear that he likes her. Of course, youโll start telling yourself that heโs only testing your jealousy. Well, that might be the case. He might actually go the extra mile and make it clearer to you that he likes you. DONโT BE THE VICTIM OF MISREAD SIGNALS !!! foo2y ba2a !!
- Heโs Always..Always..Always Busy
Talking about the extra mile that he never actually strives to take, he also never makes time for you. Heโs busy most of the time, even if heโs jobless, hobby-less and basically has nothing to doโฆ.be sure then youโre not on his priority list.
- He late-Replies To Your Texts and Callsย
Thatโs a bit similar to the former warning. Letโs all agree that we have become inseparable from our cell phones. When he texts you back a day or two later, ย it cannot be possible that he โHASNโT SEEN IT โ. So, Plz Plz Plzโฆโฆ Pretty please with a cherry on top STOP.
- Making Excuses
Do you often find yourself making excuses for him? (He had an important meeting, he lives too far away to come hang out with you, his neighbourโs cat just had diarrheaย and the list goes on) ..If a guy is truly into you, heโll do the impossible just to see you or hear your voice (even if itโs this ugly face when you’ve just opened your eyes in the morning)โฆ.If this is not the case, then like the movie once said: may be โHeโs Just Not That Into Youโ.
- Heย Prefersย Going Out In Groups
It will be obvious that he rarely tries to spend time alone with you.
- Heโs Not Curious Enough About YOU
If he cares heโll start asking lots of questions about your life. Anything.Starting from how you like your coffee to what ifs!! I remember having this guy who spent hours asking me personal questions. It did not bother me; it was actually overwhelming to have someone so interested in me but it didnโt work out eventually for some other reason.
Bottom line, We girls quickly jump to conclusions and only believe what we want to believe. Every rule has an exception and same goes for the warning rules above. To be on the safe side, be patient, donโt put your hopes up, and if he does like you, heโll make sure you know it!!
