5 signs he just doesn’t like you (that much)
I’m here to rescue you from the land of Delulu
The opposite of love is not hate: it is indifference. There’s a tendency to “Main Character” ourselves and imagine we have a much more important role in other people’s stories than we really do. Don’t panic! He probably doesn’t hate you or think you are gross: but if you doubt his interest in you, he probably just isn’t into you, ladies. He just doesn’t think about you that much. Just one of these? I could be wrong. Over 4? Wake up babe.
1. He doesn’t reach out first
If you are starting every interaction, every text, every email chain, and every conversation: yeah, he’s not that bothered. How do I know? Because when you like someone, you want to be involved with them. You think about them, they come up in your thoughts. Stuff reminds you of them and you want to check in. If he’s not reaching out to you sometimes, perhaps you need to back off and reassess.
2. He doesn’t make solid plans with you
When I don’t really want to do something, it goes in the “maybe” “some point” or “early next year” box. I might not even be lying: but you aren’t someone I’m excited about seeing. You’re not someone I’m going to adjust my diary for. I’m not asking my friend to meet me on a different night to see you…
