It’s almost impossible to determine how someone truly feels about you unless you have a mind-reading ability. Unless, let’s face it, they are incredibly talkative, which, for some people, is also practically impossible.
This is especially true when trying to determine a guy’s feelings for you. Due to cultural expectations, men frequently repress their feelings, which can make dating more difficult to manage.
So — instead of wasting your time overanalyzing what his text means or why he didn’t invite you to dinner with the rest of his buddies, we’ve got six indications to share with you on how you may figure out whether or not he’s actually serious about you.
- He won’t specify the relationship.
You dating anyone? Do you have a romantic partner? If the guy you’re with is avoiding talking about the relationship and defining it, whether it’s straightforward or convoluted, despite your repeated attempts to do so… So it is clear that he is avoiding the responsibility that comes with labelling.
2. He rarely invites you in advance for events.
You might also only see each other when it’s convenient for him. If a man doesn’t have a genuine passion for anything, getting him to work hard is challenging.
He will make an attempt to spend time with you if he truly cares about you. Additionally, this implies that he will consider spending time with you. You won’t get a text message from him asking you if you’d like to go to dinner with him and several others in 15 minutes at 7 o’clock in the evening. While you could assume he is being considerate, the truth is that someone else cancelled and he suddenly thought of you.
3. You haven’t ever met his family.
He hasn’t yet introduced you to his family, even though it has been months or even more than a year. In fact, he leaves the room whenever his mother calls. What’s worse, when his parents inquire as to his whereabouts, he replies, “Oh, I’m just with a friend.”
There could be few reasons a guy might not have introduced you to his family:
- He is not close to them; therefore, if he actually does not communicate with them at all, perhaps his “family” is his buddy or social circle.
- He feels humiliated by them.
- The connection with them is quite difficult.
- He’s not ready.
- Or, he might not be sincere with you.
He should be eager to include you in his family if he values his relationships with them and if he truly cares about you. Take some time to seriously consider what you actually want from a guy in your relationship, even if the worst-case scenario isn’t true.
4. You’ve never met his close friends.
He hasn’t introduced you to his “bros,” which is just another red flag. And the only justification in this situation would be if none of his closest pals resided in the same city as you guys. And even then, if he hasn’t told you everything about them or planned to make you meet them in the future… He probably doesn’t intend to stick around for very long.
5. He is not into leaving things at your house, and vice versa.
Have you ever purposefully forgotten your toothbrush at his place only to receive a text from him informing you that he will deliver it to you the next time you two encounter each other.
Have you ever suggested that he leave a few things at your place so that he wouldn’t have to carry a bag around all the time just to hear him respond, “No, I’m fine”?
Look, he stays longer than half the week every time. The toothbrush makes perfect sense. But for whatever reason, if he’s acting strangely about it, perhaps he’s just being careful not to mislead you.
In that scenario, there’s already a significant issue. A relationship is going to fail if you put 100% of your effort into it while he only puts one foot in.
