10 Signs She’s Not Into You… #1

First and foremost, any of these signs could hold more importance than the other, just depends on your situation. This last sign is tricky, because a lot of times girls will offer to pay for themselves simply as a gesture of kindness.

#1 She doesn’t let you pay for her.

They really want you to pay for them because that means it’s a date. However, if she insists on paying for herself, it might be time to yippy kiyiyay move along, little dogey. At least you got one date with her. Reminds me of the date I had at Which Wich. The one-date wonder, as I call her. I can’t remember who paid for who, but I never saw her again. Some would say the failure was when I thought a first date to Which Wich was a good idea. Others would agree.

And finally, thanks for reading! The list of 10 was in random order. There’s nothing that says your gut feeling is less important than her asking about your friend. But there had to be a #10 and there had to be a #1. If the order of this list bothers you, as my favorite girl on the cancelled show Kid Nation would say, “deal with it!”

10 Signs She’s Not Into You… #2

Every summer the guys in my family go fishing 20 miles into the Gulf of Mexico [fishing video opens in a new window here!]. It can be a lot of fun, especially when the bite is on. And we always know the bite is on when we hear my dad say, “Talk to me, sweet lips!” as he reels one in. But even if you haven’t been out that far, or have never heard my dad talk to fish, the mechanics are just about the same wherever you are; you need bait, a hook, and patience. Sidenote: calling the fish “sweet lips” isn’t required, but you get bonus points, for sure.

Fish are smart, though. They will do whatever it takes to avoid getting caught. It’s not that much different with girls. They’re smart. They can see when…

#2 It’s just a game to you.

You see, dating is a lot like fishing. We’re all trying to lure in potential datees with how we dress, the cologne or perfume we use, etc.But if a girl (or guy, I suppose) can tell you’re just in it for the chase, then like the fish that just got your bait, she gone. You won’t have sweet lips talking to you any time soon!

10 Signs She’s Not Into You… #3

I can’t say it (or sing it) any better than Gotye did in the hit song from a while back. It’s all about a girl who’s not interested in a particular guy.

#3 She changes her phone number.

Double strike against you if she changes her number and has her friends collect her records. Ouchy McGouchy, bro.

#4 She leaves hints hoping you’ll pick them up.

And these aren’t the good kinds of hints, fellas. Like when you ask if they have plans for the weekend, and they do. Like, down to the minute. You can be sure that if she had any interest in dating you, she wouldn’t have just rattled off how busy sherlock holmesshe is for the next few days… or weeks… or years. Other hints: you mention your passion for bowling. She mentions her hatred. She talks about her latest love interests… who aren’t you. She uses the word ‘boyfriend’ with the words ‘I’ and ‘have’ and ‘a’ in front of it. OK, that one’s not so subtle.

In a nutshell: Put on your Sherlock Holmes cap and investigate. Her hints are the window to her feelings. So before you rush into a house and trip all kinds of alarms, wipe your feet on the doormat. Take a breath. And peer in the window. Metaphorically, of course. A restraining order will do you no good.
