They're just not that into you

Regardless of your age, how many relationships you’ve been in, how long those relationships have been, or how long you’ve known the person for – it’s sometimes difficult to read whether or not a person is interested in you. Although males prefer to remain mysterious, women somehow always express how they really feel. Whether your partner is just opting for extra privacy, or if they’re just not into you is a struggle, in itself, to figure out. These are common traits that usually confirm your partner is no longer into you; the more they exhibit the more confirmation you have.

Bad news: they just might not be into you anymore
Good news: it’s time to brush off the old & take in the new

1. They don’t return your calls/text messages 
This redflag usually means one of two things. One, they’re too busy to be calling/texting you back. Two, you aren’t an important enough priority to call/text you back in a timely manner – both a negative thing. Regardless of whether or not your partner is busy, they should text/call you back eventually – if this never happens you should take the hint and avoid re-calling/texting.

2. They always have an excuse to flake 
You’ve been dating for a while now and you’ve noticed that whenever you make specific plans, somehow something “important” tends to come up. First it’s a work emergency, then something with their friend, then a possible family affair which needs to be tended to – all of which conveniently occur when you make plans. You think it may be a coincidence, we think not.

3. Your ideas aren’t ever significant 
Before you’re even finished with your sentence, they’re already explaining why it’s a bad idea. This is not only demeaning for you, but it doesn’t leave you much influence in the relationship.

4. They refuse to let you leave some belongings at their place 
Another redflag that usually means A. they don’t really want any evidence of you around because they’re hiding something B. they don’t want to give you a reason to come over again. If you notice that they rather you bundle everything up and take it back to your place, chances are they’re just not that into you.

5. They avoid being affectionate in public 
There’s nothing that illustrates more clearly, “Hey I’m just not that into you,” then when your partner refuses to show any kind of affection in public. If there’s still affection at home, there’s no reason why it should stop once you’re in front of others. Either they don’t want to be seen with you or they’re scared they might run into someone they’d rather avoid.
