Ten Signs that He's Not That Into You
1. He's just not that into you if he's not asking you out.
If a man is excited about a woman, he can’t stop himself- he wants more. If he’s friends with someone and attracted to her, he’sgoing to want to take it further.
If he’s not making a move, it’s not because he is ‘scared’. The only thing he is scared of is how not attracted to you he is.
2. He’s just not that into you if he’s not calling you.
He says he didn’t have a moment in his busy day to call. Rubbish! The real reason is that you are not on his mind. If a man leads you to expect he will call and then doesn’t follow through on such a little thing, he will never follow through on big things.
Be aware he is okay with the idea he is disappointing you.
4. He’s just not that into you if he’s not dating you.
A guy who is really into you is going to want you all to himself. He is going to ask you on a date. He is going to want to be alone with you to see if you have a romantic future together.
5. He's just not that into you if he's not having sex with you.
Cheating doesn't just 'happen'. It's planned and executed with the full knowledge that it could end your relationship. If he's sleeping with someone else without your knowledge or encouragement, he is not only behaving like a man who isn't into you, he is behaving like a man who doesn't even like you all that much.
6. He’s just not that into you if he only wants to see you when he’s drunk.
Having a drink may help you relax on a first date, but don’t confuse an ice breaker with real intimacy. If he only wants to see you, talk to you and have sex with you when he’s drunk, it ain’t love - it’s sport.
7. He’s just not that into you if he doesn’t want to marry you.
Every man you have dated who says he doesn’t want to get married or doesn’t believe in marriage, or has ‘issues’ with marriage, will, rest assured, someday be married. It just will never be to you.
8. He’s just not that into you if he’s breaking up with you.
What could be better than hearing from the man who broke up with you that he misses you madly? It’s validating. It’s exciting. It’s irresistible. Yet resist it. Unless he’s ready to get back for good he’s simply finding it hard being alone.
9. He’s just not that into you if he’s disappeared on you.
When a man disappears there’s no mixed message. He’s made it clear that he’s so not into you, that he couldn’t even bother to leave you a Post-it.
Don’t make contact - he’s not in hospital with amnesia! - it will only give him a chance to reject you all over again.
10.He’s just not that into you if he’s married (and other insane variations for being unavailable).
No matter how powerful and real your feelings may be for someone, if that person cannot fully and honestly return them, these feelings mean nothing.

- A purse, a suitcase and an umbrella you’re not ashamed to be seen carrying.

- A past juicy enough that you’re looking forward to retelling it in your old age.
- The realization that you are actually going to have an old age-and some money set aside to help fund it.
- An e-mail address, a voice mailbox and a bank account-all of which nobody has access to but you.
- A résumé that is not even the slightest bit padded.
- One friend who always makes you laugh and one who lets you cry.
- A set of screwdrivers, a cordless drill and a black lace bra.
- Something ridiculously expensive that you bought for yourself, just because you deserve it.
- The belief that you deserve it.
- A skin-care regimen, an exercise routine and a plan for dealing with those few other facets of life that don’t get better after 30.
- A solid start on a satisfying career, a satisfying relationship and all those other facets of life that do get better.
- How to fall in love without losing yourself.
- How you feel about having kids.
- How to quit a job, break up with a man and confront a friend without ruining the friendship.
- When to try harder and when to walk away.
- How to kiss in a way that communicates perfectly what you would and wouldn’t like to happen next.
- The names of: the secretary of state, your great-grandmother and the best tailor in town.
- How to live alone, even if you don’t like to.
- How to take control of your own birthday.
- That you can’t change the length of your calves, the width of your hips or the nature of your parents.
- That your childhood may not have been perfect, but it’s over.
- What you would and wouldn’t do for money or love.
- That nobody gets away with smoking, drinking, doing drugs or not flossing for very long.
- Who you can trust, who you can’t and why you shouldn’t take it personally.
- Not to apologize for something that isn’t your fault.
- Why they say life begins at 30.
