If a man is not really interested in you, he usually won’t tell you. Instead, he will do other things to show you that he doesn’t see a future with you or doesn’t want to continue seeing you at all. As women, we tend not to want to move on from a man until we know with certainty that there’s no hope for a future with him.

However, the reality is that a man usually won’t verbally state his disinterest in you. It’s up to you to pay attention to the signs that a man may be rejecting you. So, here are 15 signs you’ve been rejected by a man:

1. If he doesn’t call you for several days or weeks, you’ve been rejected.

2. If weeks go by and he hasn’t asked you out or made any plans with you, you’ve been rejected.

3. If he stands you up or doesn’t contact you the day you scheduled a date, you’ve been rejected.

4. If he cancels your date because he found something more fun to do, you’ve been rejected.

5. If he cancels or reschedules your date two or more times in a row, you’ve been rejected.

6. If he says he’s not ready for a commitment, you’ve been rejected.

7. If he says he’s not looking for anything serious, you’ve been rejected.

8. If he says he doesn’t want to tie you down or get in the way of your life, you’ve been rejected.

9. If he says he still has feelings for his ex, you’ve been rejected.

10. If he says his schedule is too busy to date or have a relationship, you’ve been rejected.

11. If he says he doesn’t date women for more than a few months, you’ve been rejected.

12. If he brings a friend along on your date, you’ve been rejected.

13. If he suggests setting you up with a friend, you’ve been rejected.

14. If he doesn’t want you to know where he lives, you’ve been rejected.

15. If he can reach you, but you can never reach him, you’ve been rejected.

Now, just because a man contacts you down the line after he has rejected you in one of these ways doesn’t mean he has a renewed interest in you. He hasn’t all of a sudden realized that he let a good woman go. A guy that has rejected you may contact you again out of boredom or to see if he still has a chance with you because he’s really just looking for something casual.

Just because you get a random phone call one evening asking what you’re doing in the next hour doesn’t mean a man is interested in you for anything more than a casual relationship. Rejection usually does not come in the form of a clear explanation of disinterest. Men will always avoid telling you that they just don’t like you.

So, you have to be able to read men’s behavior and take their choice to only call you or see you randomly or sporadically for what it really is: rejection of any potential growth into a real relationship.
