Have you ever caught yourself trying to "figure him out" or analyzing his behaviors? One minute he's sour, and then he's sweet, kind of like a Sour Patch Kid.

Sour. Sweet. Gone.

Well, if you're looking for a sign to dump him⏤or keep him, if the shoe doesn't fit⏤here it is.

1. You always initiate everything.

The texts, calls, dates, all of it. You're doing all of the work and pulling all of the weight while there is little effort from him. Would you even have a date if it wasn't for you? Think about it.

2. He rarely texts you.

But he's always on his phone when you're with him. Maybe he's not a good texter, you say, or maybe he's just not good at texting you. If a guy really likes you, even if he's busy, he'll find a way to text back. No excuses.

3. He "breadcrumbs" you.

Instead of ghosting you all together, he disappears and then comes back. He finds a way to leave you with just enough to keep holding on to him, but he never commits, and he's not consistent.

4. No communication.

You have great conversations when you're together, but when you're apart, it's almost nonexistent. Does that really sound like someone you want to be with? It doesn't sound like someone who wants to be with you.

5. You are his last-minute date.

When he does initiate a date, it's usually on his terms, and totally short notice. Nothing screams chivalry is dead quite like this. Some might say it's spontaneous, but it also might say that you're his last resort.

“If the guy you’re dating doesn’t seem to be completely into you, or you feel the need to start ‘figuring him out,’ please consider the glorious thought that he might just not be that into you. And then free yourself to go find someone that is.”
