It’s happened to a lot of us: you thought things were going really great<\/a> until, suddenly, they weren\u2019t… and you\u2019re left wondering what happened. It’s hard when you start getting really excited out someone, only to have them lose interest. You start wondering if it\u2019s you and if there\u2019s anything you can do to reel them back. If you’re wondering what the signs he’s losing interest are, here are eight things men do when they’re beginning to slip away and what (if anything) you should do about it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

8 subtle signs he’s losing interest<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. He\u2019s making excuses.
\n<\/strong>In the beginning, he was all about you\u2014when you called he ran. Now, he\u2019s working late, has to run errands, isn\u2019t feeling well, or always has an excuse every time you ask to do something. Typically, whenever someone gives you a reason for why they can\u2019t do something, what they\u2019re really telling you is they don\u2019t want to do that thing or that it isn’t a priority for them. If you see this happening a lot, it could be a big sign he’s not as into the relationship as he once was.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. He\u2019s not as responsive on this phone.
\n<\/strong>You both use to text all day long and talk every night, and now he barely responds to a text and never calls you back. He may simply not be interested in chatting with you anymore or he could be talking to someone else. Either way, it\u2019s a clear sign he’s losing interest in hearing from you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. He’s become defensive and rude.
\n<\/strong>When the nice, sweet man you fell for starts ignoring you, hurls insults, and gets sarcastic, it\u2019s a big red flag. If he starts putting the blame on you when you become upset by saying things like, \u201cIf you don\u2019t like then don\u2019t be with me,\u201d or \u201cI always used to spend Saturday nights with the guys,” he\u2019s definitely losing interest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. He stops asking questions.
\n<\/strong>Asking questions helps someone learn more about who you are as a person. From knowing your favorite band to hearing about a good day, when the person you’re with asks you about things he or she is learning your likes and how you feel, and are showing their interest in you. When your man stops asking how you\u2019re doing, how do you like your burger, what do you think about this movie\u2026 it\u2019s a sign he\u2019s stopped caring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. He’s more vague and indecisive.
\n<\/strong>This may not one of the most obvious signs he’s losing interest, but it’s still a good indicator if you can spot it. When a man becomes vague about what his plans are, what he wants to do, or if he wants to go out or not, it’s often a sign that he’s not looking forward to seeing you and is even avoiding it. If he stops sharing his plans with you and then you find out he’s been going out with his friends or family, these are big signs he\u2019s losing interest. He clearly isn’t making time for you when he has plenty of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. There\u2019s no sex.
\n<\/strong>The nights you’re together, instead of getting hot and heavy in the sheets, he’s been falling asleep faster than a baby. And when you try to initiate, he says he\u2019s tired and rolls over. You start to think, When was the last time we had sex?<\/em> Then you start thinking, When was the last time we kissed, hugged or held hands? Is he still attracted to me?<\/a><\/em> When this happens, it’s a sign he\u2019s may no longer be interested.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

7. You\u2019re only having sex.
\n<\/strong>On the flip side, he could still be showing other signs of losing interest but still having sex with you because he knows he can satisfy that urge. It doesn\u2019t mean he’s still emotionally and even physically interested in you if the sex is still there. If it feels more like an act and he\u2019s more concerned about satisfying himself and not you, he\u2019s not really interested in the relationship anymore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

8. The relationship is stagnant.
\n<\/strong>If he’ still hanging around and you’re still meeting up, but it feels more friendly than romantic, it can be that the flame he had for you has gone out and he\u2019s losing interest. It might feel like the relationship has been flat-lining lately with no ups. Almost like boredom. Sometimes, when a man loses interest he isn’t necessarily mean or neglectful, he’s just not all there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ok, so what do you do about it?
\n<\/strong>So, you\u2019ve picked up these signs and are wondering how to proceed. Many would say that if you\u2019re noticing a guy is losing interest in you, why fight it? But, sometimes there are other things going on in his life that make him seem distant and not interested.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s always difficult to have a serious talk about feelings, but it’s also important to let him know how you’re feeling and to give him a chance to tell you the same. Try talking to him to see what\u2019s going on. If he opens up and there’s good communication, it may not be an issue with the relationship at all. But if he’s not willing to open up and makes himself more distant, then it\u2019s time to move on to somebody else.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you’re reading this article, chances are you’re already unsatisfied and worried about the direction things are going. If he’s not caring for you and being present in the relationship in the way you need, and won’t even discuss why not, you deserve more. It’s never easy walking away, but spending your time and energy on someone who’s not spending time or energy on you can be much harder – thankfully, recognising the signs he’s losing interest can help you out!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
