Do you like a guy who doesn’t seem to like you back no matter what you do? Perhaps, you need to read his mind, and pick the accurate answer to your burning question – why doesn’t he like me back when I’m making it really obvious that I like him?!
Almost all girls have been here before. You like a guy. And you drop a few hints too. But somehow, he either doesn’t see the little hints or doesn’t do anything to reciprocate your affection for him. So does he like you? Is he confused? Or is he just not bothered? Why can’t he just date you?!
If a guy isn’t acknowledging your attention or doing anything about it, there’s a pretty good chance he’s not interested in dating you. In almost all cases, perhaps the best option would be to get over him and move on.
After all, you’ve probably done everything but scream at his face that you’re falling for him. Or maybe, you’ve even told the guy that you like him! And he’s still sitting mum, blinking his eyes and staring at you with a vacant expression on his face.
# You’re trying too hard to please him
In your pursuit to make him see the dating potential in you, you may end up pushing him away by appearing too easy to get. Remember, men like a chase and they want their woman to be worth a chase.
# You’re easily available for himYou may want to create a lasting impression by being available for him at his beck and call. Or you may try to spend all the time you can with him. Doing this doesn’t bring both of you close, instead, it can make him hate your obsessive clinginess. Make him desire you and crave for you by maintaining some distance.
# You’re not his type
There’s nothing you can do here. All guys have their own preferences in a partner, be it the height, the color of a girl’s hair or even something as trivial as the way she laughs. Don’t change yourself for him. Move on and find someone who likes you for who you are. Of course, it’s pretty immature to have a “type” in the first place, so consider yourself lucky for dodging a bullet!
# You’re in his friend zone
He thinks of you as a friend. Does he talk about other girls he finds attractive? Does he talk about gross details you’d only share with your close friends? While it may seem like a sign of him opening up to you, it could also mean that he looks at you as just another friend he doesn’t have to impress.
# He likes someone else
Sometimes, you may just be a wee bit late in realizing that he’s a great catch. He may like someone else or he may even be in a committed relationship with another great girl.
# He’s not sexually attracted to you
Have you been friends for a long time? While guys look at all girls as sexual objects when they desire them, they usually avoid sexually sizing up girls they consider as good friends.
# He doesn’t think you’re both compatible
Do you have a checklist of the things you like and want in a guy? There’s a good chance that he has his own checklist too. And there may be a few personality traits about you that he may not want in his girlfriend. The only way you can ever get to know his preferences is by subtly asking him.
# Differing emotional temperaments
Do both of you think along the same lines and enjoy similar activities? Sometimes, a guy may think you’re sexy but he may also see a huge difference in the way you both see and approach life. It just happens, and you should let go, because no guy is worth changing your life for!
# He’s gayYou may think this is a joke, but many girls have been there and experienced this. Most guys who aren’t straight are closet gays who don’t reveal their sexual preferences to anyone. Sometimes, they may even date a girl just to fit in!
# He has unreasonable standardsEver met a cocky guy who thinks he’s God’s gift to womenkind? Well, some guys have very high opinions about themselves and have unreasonable demands and expectations from their prospective girlfriend. Forget about this narcissistic guy, he’ll come crawling back to you after every girl throws him in the dirt.
