10 Signs He Pretending Not To Like You

10 Signs He Pretending Not To Like You

So there’s this cute guy you’re interested. He’s great and all but you’re just not quite sure what he’s thinking most of the time and plus his actions aren’t that consistent with you. So now you’ve ended up here trying to find some sort of hope. By all means, I’m not a pope to give you hope but let’s not mope when you get a nope. Did I just rhyme? Yes, I did. It’s bad, I know, I’ll stop. But let’s try to see what’s actually going on in the inner working of a male brain. It can be confusing. Sometimes I don’t understand me either. But let’s check out these 10 signs he’s pretending not to like you but low key he kind of does.

1. He’s always nearby

Whether it’s at school, work, or just doing some random errands, do you notice him being within your vicinity all the time? Where he can see you at a distance but you can’t really initiate a conversation unless you’re shouting at him. If he’s stalking, I mean trying to find ways to see you, there’s a huge change that he’s probably into you. It’s creepy, yeah I know. So, he likes you but really doesn’t want you to know but then now you know since you’re always seeing him around.

2. He teases you a lot

This one is a classic. Almost everyone does it when they have a crush. You can joke around with anything and basically get away with it as long as it’s playful and fun. Let’s pretend you say something along the lines of this, “Do you like me?” and he responses with, “ewww noooo not in a million year.” See it’s playful because he’s disgusted by it and it’s fun because we all know we can’t live past 500 years and in the next life time we might all be reincarnated as bunnies and mate with anything… I mean with other bunnies. But do you get the point though? If he’s teasing you a lot and saying things like that, it’s a good sign to say his heart wants you but his mouth is saying no.

3. He knows everything about you

It could be that he knows more about you than you know yourself and that’s the crazy part. But of course he doesn’t tell you these things, he just remembers them or by looking you up. I mean your social media accounts are public, right? And of course to test it out if it’s true or not, you can use a friend and just ask them to ask him a few questions about you. It’ll be super interesting to find out what he knows. I should put a disclaimer here. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn’t. But if it does work, then you know what’s up. Haha

4. He’s bi-polar with you

This happens a lot when a guy is trying to hide his feelings. He could be nice to you one day and then the next day he is the total opposite. But deep down on the inside, I just think he doesn’t know what he wants with you, so he does this thing and gives you mix signals but man if I was the other person on the other end receiving these mix signals I would be frustrated as heck. And if you’re a guy watching this. Ya’ll need to calm down on this bi-polar behavior, people don’t like mix signals.

5. He tries to stand out more in a group

The key point here is stand out more. He doesn’t talk to you or anything but he tries to make it to the point where it’s hard not to notice him. Whether it’s raising his voice or just showing off how good he is in a certain subject or sport. But in all reality who is he trying to show off or impress? Is it you, or is it that girl behind you? Or is he just conceited or like being the center of attention. So be in the lookout for that.

6. He talks to other people instead

So in a group setting, normally, if you go up to talk to him, you both would talk and could talk, and everything is fine. But if you don’t initiate a conversation, he would basically just assume you’re not there. So basically there’s two options right now. One, he’s probably not interested and doesn’t care. Or two, he’s pretty shy and doesn’t have enough courage to initiate a conversation. Now you just have to use your deductive reasoning to figure out how he actually behaves. If he strikes you as the shy type, then maybe that’s why. But if not, there’s a chance that he’s not interested.

7. He’s trying to make you jealous

Are you both still talking here and there online and in person? If so, that’s good. What’s not good is when he starts posting stuff on social media with other people and not you. I mean you both are friends, right? So why aren’t you in his posts? What the heck. And that’s just like the other signs I had explained, he could be talking to other people and not you. Just so he can spike you and get your attention but not really telling you he likes you. I don’t know why some guys do this, but they do. It’s just weird.

8. He’s able to talk to you online but not in person

This typically happens a lot for shy guys. If it’s online, he can go on for hours going back and forth, but when it comes to face-to-face, he’s super reserved. So, reserved that he’s like a stranger. The reason for that is because he’s probably scared. Perhaps he feels super uncomfortable talking to his crush in person. So, if you want, try to make him feel more comfortable and slowly talk to him more. A simple, “hi,” goes a long way.

9. He gives you a “no” for an answer but ends up doing it.

You know those times when you ask for his help on an assignment and he flat out tells you “no.” and looks at you all weird and there’s like a brief moment of awkward silence like you legit don’t know what to do afterwards. But then he be like, “Just kidding,” with a warm smile on his face and proceeds with, “What do you need help on?” If you’ve experienced something like that it’s obvious he’s trying to be funny and pretending like he doesn’t like you, but deep down on the inside, he really does and wants to help you. He get’s more together time with you so that’s a plus. Haha

10. He pretends he doesn’t care

This again falls back to not wanting to show his feelings towards you. Because let’s be real, guys rarely talk about feelings. It’s hard sometimes to just talk to their parents about feelings. Who does that? (umm we have the internet for that). But if you notice that he doesn’t care much initially but ends up surprising you with his thoughtful act of services or gifts, then you know he still has a heart for you.

Overall, I know this have been a stressful and complicated journey. He’s bi-polar behavior and his lack of attention drives you crazy. But if he’s being difficult, just let him be difficult, I’m sure he has his reasons. So don’t stress yourself too much keep calm and keep swiping.
