5 signs it’s not quite a relationship
You have been
dating for months, if not years, and you still have no clue where you stand. There
are no ties, no labels, no building a life together. You can’t call it a ‘friend
with benefits’ situation because you are together often but you are no closer
to knowing him than when you first met.
You’re not
tethered. Actually you may be in limbo as there are so many mixed signals that
you are left dizzy trying to keep up. The fact that you still don’t know anything
substantial about him speaks volumes. He may be just stringing you along, or
have commitment issues. It’s possible he just does not know what he wants out
of life.
Below are five
tell-tale signs of that ‘almost’ relationship:
1. He never
talks about the future, he is fine in the here and now.
2. He never says
‘we’. He sure says ‘I’ a lot though.
3. The
relationship has no known boundaries. He will flirt right in front of you and
think nothing of it and cannot understand why you get upset. That’s because he
does not see himself as being in a real relationship. It is not ‘cuffing
season’.
4. Everything
you know about him is basic information. It is all surface level things that
even the post man would know.
5. He does not
want to have long, intimate conversations. He gets annoyed or angry if you ask
about goals and so you find yourself shying away from the hard, difficult but
necessary questions .
