Sometimes people get the wrong impression about the feelings we have for them.
If you are in a situation like this now, we are here to help.
Here are 17 signs he thinks you’re not interested in him (even though you are)!
1) He gets discouraged quickly
Perhaps he was talking to you and he might have noticed that you are not really paying attention.
You may have been thinking of something else or even staring at another guy on the other side of the room.
He might get discouraged with this and think that you do not like him anymore, when in fact, you are just busy thinking about something that caught your attention right now.
If he gets easily discouraged by such actions, try to show him that you are listening by focusing all your attention on him when he is talking.
He will appreciate this.
2) He has given up on you
One of the signs he thinks you’re not interested in him might be that he gave up on waiting for you and is now actively thinking about pursuing other girls.
If you want to prevent him from giving up on you, there are a few things you can do.
First, you need to listen to him more often and show that you truly care.
This will make him feel valuable and important in your life.
Second, try not to spend so much time with other guys if your relationship is new.
It could confuse him and ruin the relationship right from the start.
3) You don’t spend enough time together
If you are busy all the time, your guy might think that you are not interested in him anymore.
It would be bad if he thought this way as it would make him anxious and even desperate.
If you really like a guy, you should try to spend more time with him.
Set up a special date at least once a week, no matter how busy your schedule is.
The trick is to always find new interesting opportunities so you can get to spend time together and know each other better and bond.
Figure out what he likes, so you can do that more and simply show him how much you care.
4) You stopped initiating dates
If you are the one who doesn’t initiate dates anymore, he might think that you do not like him anymore.
You need to try to create more romantic moments for him by taking him on a special date once or twice a month.
You can even plan your date if you have been dating for some time and know when he is free.
If he has started behaving like this, ask yourself why this is happening.
Is it because you are busier with friends?
He may be jealous and doing this to let you know that he’s not interested in pursuing you indefinitely.
In short, if you want to change this, you should try to be more honest about your feelings and intentions.
5) You don’t pay enough attention to him
If you are not giving enough attention to your relationship, he might come to think that you do not like him anymore.
While it’s normal for guys to get jealous of other men who are paying too much attention to you, you need to make sure that he does not think about this unless there is a real problem.
If he used to watch you like a puppy watching its owner, but is pretty mad now, he might have noticed that you are not looking at him anymore.
He might think that you have feelings for someone else.
To avoid this, make sure to look at him every once in a while.
It doesn’t have to be all the time, but do it when you feel like it and when he is talking to you so you can maintain the eye contact and share the love.
6) You barely touch him
Physical contact is essential for people in love.
Touching the person we love creates a feeling of intimacy and closeness.
If you do not feel like touching him anymore, this would definitely make him think that something is wrong with your feelings for him.
To avoid this, create opportunities to touch him often and show how much you care.
If you used to hug and kiss him every time he left the house or saw you after a long period of time, and now you don’t do it anymore, he may think that you are not in love with him anymore.
You might not have stopped doing those things because of your feelings for him, though.
Depending on the reason you stopped, try to bring in a change and show affection in the way he likes.
7) You are always busy
He might have noticed that you have started to be busy all the time.
You used to have time for him, but now you never do.
If a guy doesn’t get enough attention from the person he likes, he will start thinking that she does not like him anymore or she is not interested in him anymore.
This situation is even worse if you don’t mean to be busy all the time and are just trying to be organized.
The choice is yours – either you will find a way to give him more time, or you will notice that he is drifting away.
If you want to avoid this, try to make more time for your relationship.
Think of new ways of spending time together.
It is up to you whether to spend more time with him or not, but it would be a good idea to show him that you really like him so he can see some changes in your behavior.
8) He doesn’t want to know where you are when you leave home
If your guy has started to lose interest in you, he might have stopped asking questions about your whereabouts when you are going to leave your house.
This could mean all sorts of things, but one of these things is that he simply believes you don’t care anymore and wants to protect himself from being hurt.
If you notice that he doesn’t even care to ask questions and is not interested, you can try to change this.
If you want to do so, the best way would be to tell him what your plans are and make sure he knows where you are.
Depending on his reaction, you might want to discuss this with him. If he is not open to it, try to find a different way of showing your affection.
9) You don’t talk about the future anymore
When you liked each other, and you started your relationship, you probably dreamed of a future together.
If this is not happening anymore, he might think that you don’t like him anymore or that you never did in the first place.
Sometimes this could be true, but most of the time, it is not.
Before your relationship starts to fall apart, make sure you do something about it and steer things in the wanted direction.
The first thing to do is to think about the things you want in the future and go from there.
It will be easier for you to know what would you like to be the next step in your relationship.
If you want to do something, try having an honest talk with your guy.
Tell him what you like and what you don’t like and what you would like to be the next step in your relationship.
Being honest with each other will surely help you understand each other better and figure out what the future holds for you.
10) You don’t want to share your important moments with him
When you are excited about something, he might not be the first person that you want to tell. He might not even be the second or third person.
If you have started to spend more time with your friends than with him, he might think that you don’t like him anymore.
Again, this happens because he is not used to being second in your life and wants to be first again.
If you want him back, make sure that you are spending time together and try to show him what important parts of your life he is missing out on.
So, what does all this mean?
Think about your priorities and make some changes if you want to save your relationship.
If you do not want to change anything, think about your inner patterns that may be driving you to think this way.
11) You don’t tell him about your feelings
If you do not tell your boyfriend about how you feel, he might start believing that he is not the person who matters to you anymore.
When he realizes that your feelings are just slipping away from the relationship, he will start panicking and going crazy thinking of how to get back to the relationship you’ve once had.
What is more, you will be hurting him in a way that he doesn’t deserve.
If you start feeling like this, make sure to talk about your feelings and share them with the person you love because this is how the relationships flourish and grow stronger.
If you fail to do so, he might think that you don’t love him anymore and start avoiding you.
12) You are always busy
Suppose your guy has noticed that you are always busy, and if he can’t make plans with you spontaneously anymore, he might think that you don’t like him and that something is wrong.
If you don’t want him to think that, start thinking about going out as a couple more often.
It will be easier for both of you if you can go out on dates every once in a while.
Now it’s your turn to do everything in your power to make your relationship better.
Start by giving him small gifts and asking him on dates every time you get a chance to truly focus on each other.
The truth is that if you spend more time with him and show him the affection he deserves, your guy might notice that you are still into him.
13) He doesn’t say “I love you” anymore
He might have started thinking that he no longer has to say these magic words because your connection is not a romantic relationship anymore.
This could be true, but it doesn’t mean he doesn’t love you anymore.
He may just be refusing to say those words to you because of the resentment he feels.
When you no longer hear that sweet three-word phrase, it doesn’t necessarily mean that he is going to leave, it is just an alert that you need to take seriously.
If you want to save your relationship, start spending more time together and paying attention to each other.
It will help him realize how much you care and make him open up just as soon as he realizes that he still cares about you.
14) Your relationship falls apart completely
If your relationship is falling apart completely and if he can no longer talk to you or if he can no longer see you, it might be because he thinks that it is too late to try and fix the things that are wrong in your relationship.
If he is not willing to try and fix them, it’s time to let him go.
Hopefully, you can still be friends, and he will always have a special place in your heart.
On the other hand, if you think there is still a way to salvage the relationship, you need to start making some changes.
For example, if he can’t be spontaneous and ask you out on a date when he wants, then give him some clues about it.
If he doesn’t want to go out with you, don’t insist too much, give him time to process everything.
Instead, try to go out more often and enjoy your time together when you meet by accident.
15) He has no time for you anymore
When the person you love is no longer there for you, it feels like you have been tossed aside.
You deserve someone who will love and care about you, who will go out of their way to make things better every single time.
The fact that your guy is not spending enough time with you can mean that he doesn’t care about your feelings anymore and that he wants nothing more than to be free from being confused all the time.
You may be sending him mixed signals for a very long time, and now he feels completely drained like he can’t do anything to make things right.
If you want him back, try making things better and show him that you still care about your relationship.
This could be the way to his heart again; he just needs a little bit of time to understand what is happening in your relationship.
16) You no longer have fun together
If your relationship has fallen apart and if things are more stressful than fun, it might be because your guy doesn’t like you anymore or believes that you don’t like him.
If this is the case, you should try to have fun together more often to spark things up again.
Do what you can to bring back the fun into your relationship.
Do something new and unexpected, so you can make him feel good about your relationship again.
This can help you bring back the feelings of the good old days so that he will want to take action and try to make your relationship better.
17) He avoids you
When you are in a relationship with the person you love, and when this person starts avoiding you, it might be because he no longer likes the way your relationship is going.
If this happens, make sure that you don’t make any rash decisions and try to figure out why he stopped liking you.
If he started thinking that you don’t like him or love him anymore, this could be the reason why he wants to start avoiding you.
If you want to save your relationship, work hard on making him see that you still care about him and make sure he knows that you still love him.
Final thoughts
If you have found yourself in one of these situations, don’t get sad.
He might still like you, but if you have lost interest in him, it is only fair that you let him know.
If he still has feelings for you, the changes will most likely attract him to you again.
After all, if we lose interest in someone and they change something about themselves, we usually fall back in love with them again.
We can change how we show our love and affection.
If you can make him feel better, he might be able to do the same for you or at least try to.
It will be easier if he knows how you feel about him now, and it will also be a lot easier for him to get back on track than if you don’t tell him.
Hopefully, after reading about these signs, it will be easier for you to understand what to do to get closer to the guy you like and show him you like him!
