You’ve landed a boyfriend who’s not afraid of labels, shows up on your social media, and hangs out with your friends. Unlike your typical flings, he keeps coming back. While you’re thrilled, you notice some gaps. He seems most excited when things get intimate, which makes you question if he’s as into you as you are into him. You’ve brushed off the signs and tried to silence that feeling he might not be that interested, but now you can’t ignore it any longer.
In today’s dating scene, figuring out what a guy really wants can be tricky. Some guys might pretend to care a lot, but their true intentions could be quite different. It’s important to notice the signs that show whether a guy is truly interested or just looking for something else. This helps you protect your feelings from people who might not want the same things you do.
If you notice any of these signs, it’s a good idea to be cautious. These signs could indicate that the guy you’re dating is only interested in getting laid and not looking for a serious relationship with you.
1. The only thing he compliments is your body
Women can be a bit complicated – they don’t objectification but love getting admired by their partner. They want to be valued beyond looks. Each deserves a partner who appreciates all aspects and makes them feel special. If a guy only praises your appearance, it’s a sign he might focus more on your body than you as a person. Recognizing these signs matters.
2. Most of your conversations are based on sex
This can be tricky because many guys often talk about sex. Even if a guy loves you, he might want intimacy often. But if he’s caring, he’ll also want to talk seriously. If all conversations turn sexual or his jokes are always about that, he might see you mainly for sex. To check, discuss a non-sexual topic like his family. If he engages, there’s a chance for a deeper connection beyond that aspect.
3. He wants to hook up instead of going out
You might have thought he really liked you. He acted friendly and chatted a lot. But when he didn’t want to go on real dates, you realized he just wanted something physical. Being in the same place doesn’t count as a date, and his pretending isn’t nice.
4. He doesn’t put effort into your time together
If he truly liked you, he’d spend time with you and make you feel important by going on nice dates. But he prefers having you over at his place rather than going out for activities like watching a movie, which would need more effort than just having sex.
5. He can’t hold a real conversation
Meaningful conversations involve sharing thoughts, feelings, dreams, and experiences – things that help create a strong emotional link. If he keeps focusing on shallow or sexual subjects, and avoids talking about deeper things, it probably means they’re just interested in the physical part of the relationship.
6. He refuses to commit to you
If someone doesn’t want a serious emotional relationship and is more interested in something physical, you can tell by how they avoid committing. If they don’t want to call you a partner, introduce you to their friends or family, or make plans for the future, it’s a sign. Building a strong relationship takes time and effort, and they might not be interested in that.
