Guy Advice column: How do girls know when a guy is NOT into them?

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Rowan chapter.

It’s difficult to tell whether someone into you or if they’re just being nice. Since most aren’t direct, there are certain things they will or won’t do to show their interest in you.

 

Eye contact: when you’re talking to a guy, see where his eyes are looking. If he’s interested in you then he’ll be looking right at you the entire time. When you’re talking you’ll be the only thing he’s looking on. If he’s not focusing on you then he’s not focused on being with you.

 

Obvious cues: An easy test to see if a guy is interested in you is to give him an obvious cue to make a cute remark. Guys know when to say something cute. We aren’t that oblivious.

 

Being busy: Since most people love texting, it plays plays a huge part in communication but it makes it harder to read that person. If you’re always getting the “I would but I’m kinda busy” line, he might not be interested. If he was, he would make time.

 

Dead conversations: Whether it’s a face-to-face or texting conversation, it should never hit the “Pointless Point.” Not every conversation is going to show depth and emotion. Sometimes the conversation might die out. It depends on how many times you are reviving it versus the guy. If you find yourself constantly bringing up new topics while he responds with, “Haha yeah,” he’s not that into talking to you.

 

Talking about other girls: This is a fairly big one. If a guy talks to you about any other girl or any past girls in an in depth way, there’s There’s a good chance that’s who he wants. Most guys don’t want you to know about their past with other girls. They might avoid the topic or seem modest about certain topics. If the interest is in you, they don’t want you to think they’re interested anywhere else.

 

Of course, if any of these things happen only one time, that doesn’t mean the guy is automatically uninterested. It applies if you notice it happen more than a few times. It might take a guy a few times to get used to how to interact with you. So try to give him some leeway at first.
