So it seems that you happen to be interested in somebody, but you're not quite sure if they're that into you.

Let me just tell you, the fact that you aren't exactly sure or are guessing if they like you or not is probably an indicator that the answer might just be in front of you. They may not like you. But don't be discouraged just yet! These signs are just things that I happen to experience and they are not exactly a one-size-fits-all kind of situation. Whether you like girls, boys, or both, and you are wanting to know if they like you back or not, these tips might help!

I know from experience and it turns out that whenever I had a crush on a guy, I have always had my hopes up for someone that 99% of the time was definitely not into me. It can be frustrating and disappointing, especially if you've made the *many* scenarios in your head. Trust me, been there done that.

In addition to that, I have also liked guys who have been very toxic and in need of psychological help, so a few hints listed here might help by warning you for such things to avoid when you are wondering if they like you or not. Maybe you've just got to run away. Fast.

Like I said before, these tips are just based on experiences that I have had in the past and they don't necessarily all have to fit your situation. Maybe you just need to dig deeper. Anyways, enough with the rant, and look no further: these are the top 11 signs that show that they're not into you. Trust me, you will thank me later. If all of these fit your situation, please detach yourself to avoid any more emotional distress.

They flat-out say it.

This is the most obvious one. Now, you may think that they may just be unsure of what they want. Now, if they say it, trust and believe them and move on to better things.

They ignore your texts or take too long.

I know we are adults and we have different responsibilities that prevent us from being on our phones 24/7. However, if they always have their phone on hand or are always texting someone else when they are with you, that's a big red flag.

They always talk about other people they might be interested in. In front of you.

Some people think that if they talk about other people to the person they actually like, they might spark something in them. That just shows us that you're interested in someone else and not us. Thank you, next.

They're flaky.

If you happen to make plans with that person and they always have an excuse to never go out with you, just move on, honey.

They don't follow your social media/don't like your things.

This kind of ties in with number two because, like I said, everyone has responsibilities they need to take care of. But if you happen to follow them on social media and they don't follow you back or like your things at least once, let 'em go.

Their friends don't know who you are.

If someone is interested in you, chances are they always talk about you to their friends. If you happen to meet their friends and they look at you like you've got two heads, keep it moving.

They're not fond of physical contact.

As a person who's not so much of a fan of physical contact except for family and a significant other, I know for a fact that if they reject a hug or barely show physical contact, they're not for you.

They say "they don't know what they want."

If someone wants you, they will make every effort to be with you! Now, if a person says that they don't know what they want, walk away. You don't want them to yo-yo with your feelings.

They make fun of you. In a bad way.

This one may sound a little too harsh but I've experienced it coming from someone that I really liked. If they point out your flaws, insecurities, etc., trust me; you don't want to be around that kind of person.

They ignore you in public places.

A person who is interested in you is of course going to want you to acknowledge their presence and vice versa. Someone who ignores you is not playing hard to get, they simply just don't want you.

They look past your hints.

If you throw out there some obvious hints that you like them and they just ignore it or don't ever mention it, it most probably means that they don't like you, even if you've tried to make it more obvious.

Good luck finding out

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
