7 Signs He Likes You But Doesn’t Want a Relationship With You!
The early stages of dating someone can be incredibly exciting, but they can also be confusing because it’s not always easy to figure out the other person’s intentions. Does he want something serious or is he just playing around with you? You can’t change his mind, but you can tell if he’s looking for something temporary so you don’t waste your precious time. If you notice the guy you’re dating is giving you these signs, sorry, but he’s not looking for a commitment.
7 Signs He Likes You But Doesn’t Want a Relationship
1. He invites you on unplanned dates
This behavior creates the impression of a “casual relationship.” If a guy is serious about you, he will always make clear plans for when he sees you.
If he says you should meet up “sometime,” he’s leaving the question open-ended. This usually means he wants to stay away from anything too specific. Instead, he just wants you available for a casual fling when it’s convenient for him.
2. He keeps you away from his friends.
He dates you, but will always try to keep you away from his friends if he doesn’t want a real relationship. Dating someone else’s friends is usually a step towards a more serious relationship. Most guys know that once they reach this point, it’s hard to escape the “my girlfriend” label. If that’s not what he wants, he’ll try to keep you apart for as long as possible.
3. He has a bad memory.
Honestly, some guys have terrible memories. I’ve met women like that too—it happens. That being said, if he’s interested in a relationship, he’ll usually remember details about you and make a genuine effort to get to know you better.
He will remember how you met and what your first conversation was like. If he has trouble remembering these details, there’s a good chance he’s not interested in anything long-term, even if he likes you.
4. He just broke up with someone.
Any time a guy mentions that he just recently became single again, it’s safe to say that he doesn’t want to be part of a couple again anytime soon. This is usually true, although some guys may lie about a breakup just to lower your expectations. This doesn’t mean he genuinely doesn’t like you, but it usually means that he didn’t want to commit to anything serious.
5. He seems obsessed with his career.
Many guys don’t like being serious about their career and their relationship at the same time. This has a lot to do with how men divide their lives. If you feel like he’s focused on his professional goals, don’t expect him to be your boyfriend. Even if he seems to like you, remain skeptical until he does something that makes you think he wants something serious.
6. He doesn’t find time for you
This is the oldest trick in the book for guys who want to keep things casual. After all, the point of a relationship is to make time for the other person, and if they don’t have time for you…
When he doesn’t find time for you, all he tells you is that he wants to meet you. You can’t be in a relationship with someone who only wants to see you when it’s convenient for him.
Even if it’s clear to you that he likes you, there’s a limit to how far he’s willing to let go of the relationship. Whether you’re willing to adjust to his schedule and wait for an audience with him is another matter.
7. He keeps his distance
Guys who aren’t interested in a serious relationship know how to not let their emotions get the better of them. They know how to remain emotionally distant, even if it’s clear they like you. If this is your situation, you can work things out right now.
