3 Ways To Tell If Someone Isn’t Interested In You
Have you ever wondered why they’re acting distant?
People are incredibly difficult to understand.
At least, that’s what I used to think. We spend our days talking to new people and ghosting those we don’t like. But when someone starts acting distant with us, we often think it’s an incredible mystery that needs to be solved.
If you’re anything like my past-self, that’s something which has crossed your mind. You know how to show interest in another person while dating. But for one reason or another, you have no idea how to tell if they’re still interested in you.
Over the past few years, I’ve found myself in the same position as you many times. But I’ve discovered that it’s important to recognize the red flags that can signify a lack of interest from another person. In the words of Mandy Hale:
“When it’s right for you, you will know. And when it’s not — it’s time to go.”
So if you notice them displaying any of these signs, it’s a good idea to move on, so you can find someone else to love for the rest of your life.
They Don’t Listen During A Conversation
When someone genuinely cares about you, they’ll naturally show interest in what you have to say during a conversation. As the Roman Philosopher, Seneca once said:
“One of the most beautiful qualities of true friendship is to understand and to be understood.”
For the longest time, I struggled to accept that some people weren’t interested in talking to me. But when I stopped focusing on the people that didn’t care, it gave me a lot more time to focus on everyone that genuinely did. In other words, I’ve managed to exponentially improve the quality of my relationships.
So if you want to know if someone’s still interested, pay attention to their actions, as well as their words. For example, if they take ages to reply and seem distant while talking, they’re probably not emotionally invested in the conversation.
