Have you ever liked a guy who gave you mixed signals? Perhaps he blew you off to hangout with his friends at 9 p.m. but invited you to come over at 11 p.m. once they left? The lousiest part is that you actually went to go see him. This can be a confusing and frustrating situation, resulting in unnecessary stress. He's not benefiting you in life and helping you prosper into a better person, he's just stringing you along like a lost puppy. If any of the statements below deem to be true, then he surely is wasting your time. Get out while you can.
1. You always find yourself texting him first
In today's day and age, texting should be a 50/50 kind of deal. If you're texting him first a majority of the time, you begin to question his interest in you.
2. You comment on his pictures and he doesn’t reply back or acknowledge what you said.
Your gut tells you to do a little more research; you find that almost all of his social media friends are girls. When you mention any of the unfamiliar girls, he acts shady and makes you feel overbearing for even bringing them up.
3. He claims he can’t hangout because he’s “too tired.”
Truth is, if someone really wants to see you, they'll make time. There is no such thing as "too tired".
4. It’s been over a month and you still haven’t met his friends.
A guy who shows you off to his friends is one who's proud of you. If his friends see you around and don't even look your way, they have no clue who you are.
5. You only ever hangout when it’s convenient for him.
If seeing one another isn't on his time, than you probably won't see him at all. You know that he won't go out of his way to see you, so you try to make yourself seem available. Not to mention the fact that he's not willing to drive to see you; he makes you feel like a burden if you even ask.
6. He never takes you out anywhere.
Coincidence? I think not. He never brings you on legitimate dates or outside of his place for that matter.
7. He doesn’t ask how you are.
Whenever you're nervous about something, he never wishes you luck.
Whenever something tragic happens in your life, he doesn’t reach out to you.
8. He lacks communication.
You call him and it rings twice before he hits the ignore button. He doesn’t return your calls. When you send him a text, you know he’s going to take hours to answer. When he doesn’t take hours to answer, you get overly excited. But, when you’re together, he’s always on his phone.
9. You don't define your title.
So, are you “talking” “f**k buddies” “dating” or “hooking up?" To you, it might be all 4; to him it might be not even be 1.
10. He goes ghost.
After you hangout, you don’t hear from him for a while. He’ll send you a "mass snap chat" of a basketball game score but doesn't text you following up on your last hangout.
11. You make up excuses for his behavior.
You find yourself saying "he's a really good guy, I promise" way too often. If he's actually a good guy, you wouldn't need to convince those around you but his actions would show his true colors.
