5 Signs He's Not Into You

When dating, there are surefire ways to tell when a man's into you, from the sexy glances, the flirty smiles, to the noticeable erections. How do we spot these so easily? Is it because we're looking for them? You know, they say you attract the same energy you put out. The flip side of that coin would be not wanting to know if someone was not really into us.  We remain blind to the situation, right? But how can you tell? How can you be sure, you're asking. Don't you women have a Gay? You know, a gay friend who will set you straight? (No pun intended) Well, just in case you're Grace without her Will, or Carrie sans Stanford, I'll be your temporary Gay and fill you in on a little secret when it comes to men--the fire is either burning hot and strong or it's not. It's not rocket science, hell, it's plain and simple.

5 signs he's not into you.

5. You're the one always initiating contact. It's been a week since the first date, maybe even longer and you're still the one initiating contact. He responds each time, but still, you wonder, "Why won't he call or txt first?" He doesn't want to hurt your feelings or just doesn't want to deal with the drama. Some people go nuts when you tell them you don't feel the same way--after that first date and men learn that maybe, you'll just get the hint and fade away...like Paris Hilton's singing career.

4. Dates are always short or interrupted. I have a friend who's dating a guy who always has an emergency. From their aunt having a heart attack, to the neighbor being stalked to a work-related item. And like clockwork, her dates are always cut short. Something is super fishy there, but one thing at a time. If your time together never happens...move on, and quickly! You want to be a priority in someone's life and if these setbacks are always occurring--you don't need the drama of it. What is this, Grey's Anatomy?

3. Doesn't introduce you to his friends. 7 weeks and 5 days later and you still haven't met any of his friends? He's either just into the sex or there's no long term longevity in his head about you. Sister, it just ain't gonna happen. You can convince yourself otherwise, but I myself dated a guy for awhile who would always tell me the great fun he had with his friends, but never introduced me. Child, I just wasn't his gay cup of tea. Learn from me, if you haven't met a friend yet, after a month--run, Forrest, run!

2. Your romantic gestures are never appreciated. You packed a picnic. So what? You remembered his favorite color and surprised him with a tie. He didn't even crack a smile. You performed the perfect mouth-to-penis therapy and he didn't even dust your knees off? Girl, are you waiting for a brick house to fall on your head and transport you to Oz? These thoughtful gestures should earn you the proper recognition and not have you making up excuses as to why he didn't celebrate them. It's time to keep it moving.

1. You're not having sex. I don't care if it's the Pope you're dating--if it has a penis and it hasn't tried to attack you after a few dates--something's wrong. We're just programmed that way. I think Einstein explained it in his theory of erection or something like that. Ever heard of the saying, "waiting for my ship to come in"? Well, honey, you're just a shrimp boat floating in his stream until he meets the the USS Marry Me. In other words, you're his love-back up. He's using you to pass the time. And sex doesn't come into play because he figures you'll get more attached and get more dramatic when he eventually calls it off. I tell you, a man's penis is his pride and joy and we will use that sucker until it falls off!
