51 Signs He Does Not Like You

Not everyone is lucky in love. Often, the attraction is one-sided, and one of the parties is left nursing a broken heart. But, you shouldn’t let it get to the point that you experience heartbreak. If you are developing feelings for someone, you can watch out for certain signs to figure out how he feels about you. It is confusing when a guy likes you and tries to hide it. But if a guy doesn’t like you, well, he is pretty darn direct about it!

Of course, if it is your boyfriend who is showing signs that he is not that into you anymore, it is plain unfortunate. Still, you can get a clearer picture of what is going on in his mind by checking this list out.

If you feel that most, or even some, of these points apply to the guy you have your eyes on, it is time to bow out gracefully and back away. If it is meant to be, it will be. But if not, at least you will not end up looking like a fool. Ready? Let’s go.

We all want to be swept up in the exciting feelings of love that hit us when we fall for someone. It can be really challenging to keep a cool head and take a step back when you are experiencing that intoxicating rush of emotions. As hard as it may be, you need to be strong and look at the situation objectively.

In the long run, this is the best thing you can do for yourself. It will save you time and energy and possible heartbreak, which can be extremely painful. “Look before you leap” is an old saying, which may not be very romantic, but it will protect you from feeling hurt or humiliated. Also, it is your duty to love yourself first, so do this as a favor to yourself. Better things are in store for you, girl! Take care!
