It’s as if something in the air shifts, and all of a sudden, you’re nowhere as happy or excited as you used to be about this potential relationship. Usually, we can be very intuitive and able to tell right away when a guy begins losing interest in us, but that’s not always the case.

Unfortunately, people can be bad at expressing their feelings, and guys won’t always come right out and tell you they’ve lost interest. For a lot of women, it’s often a painful waiting game, waiting for them to finally end things or say something productive to the relationship.
So, if you’ve been seeing someone and want clarification on certain behaviors, here are a few signs indicating the guy you’re seeing is losing interest.
He’s Not As Happy Around You Anymore

When we get past the first handful of dates, it’s common for people to start seeming a bit less energetic or anxious because they’ve grown comfortable around one another. But there’s a difference between acting comfortable around someone and being unenthusiastic.
If you’ve noticed the guy you’ve been dating has had major dips in energy around you and just overall doesn’t seem excited to spend time with you anymore, it’s a sign that he’s checked out.
He Stops Responding To Your Calls And Texts

One of the easiest ways for people to cruelly duck out of relationships is to simply stop responding to your calls or texts.
Whether they respond days later or just full-blown ghost you, if a guy stops answering your messages as frequently as they used to, it’s a clear indicator that something is up.
He Doesn’t Take The Initiative

If a guy stops taking initiative or planning dates himself, it’s a sign that he has fully lost interest in dating you.
Planning dates and making time for your relationship is something both of you have to take on, so if he suddenly stops putting in the effort, it could be his poor way of telling you he’s over it.
Your Relationship Isn’t Evolving

If a guy is really interested in you, he will often want to take the relationship to the next level or talk more about your future together.
If you’ve been with a guy for a while and he hasn’t or refuses to bring up where you see yourselves in the future, it could be a sign that he’s pulling away.
He Doesn’t Make Time For You Anymore

If the guy you’re seeing had a lot of availability at first and has suddenly started coming up with excuses not to spend time with you, that’s a red flag.
If he had started a new job or taken on some kind of challenge in life, this would be more understandable. But if you know he doesn’t have much going on, yet he’s making excuses as to why he can’t see you, there’s a good chance he’s lost interest in your relationship.
You Deserve Someone Who Wants To Be With You!
