A man who likes you is a man who makes an effort for you.

6. You’re in a situationship

You’ve gone out for more than several dates and he still hasn’t said anything about making your relationship official or being exclusive. Is he hemming and hawing about actually calling you his girlfriend? Are you still engaged after three years? Has he been avoiding the topic of meeting his parents? If so, he might be mulling over whether or not he really wants to be with you.

7. Communication frequency fluctuates often

You guys used to text, call often and he wanted to always see you. But lately, there’s been a sudden slowdown in the communication between you t. Maybe there’s even been a couple of times when he said he’d call you the next day but then failed to do so. Maybe there’s even been times when he doesn’t reach out at all for days, and then suddenly wants to meet up. There are warning signs that he’s confused everywhere.

warning signs that he’s confused include avoiding calls and vague texts.

8. He acts ambivalent

Your partner does something that bothers you and you point it out to him. You have a conversation about why you don’t like it and what should happen instead. Your partner responds, “OK, I promise I’ll fix it” or “I promise I’ll try harder.” Then the same problem resurfaces two weeks later. The same conversation is had once more, and one month later, there it is again. 

If you can’t work through disagreements or discuss your relationship openly, it’s a sign he’s not ready for commitment. If all you get from him are vague or ambiguous answers, you have your answer..

9. His way or the highway

If the guy you’re dating isn’t really interested in you, he’ll make it clear by only making plans with you when it’s convenient for him. He wants to have you around to text and chat to when he’s bored or lonely but then he wants his single man lifestyle.  He wants to spend Saturday nights drinking with his buddies, and not have to worry about things like commitment. If you want to try to work things out with him, follow these tips:

1. Don’t freak out

All the tears in the world and begging and pleading will not make him commit to you. The last thing he wants when he is already confused about the two of you, is to have to calm you down!

When a man feels pressure to be in a relationship, he will always rebel against that pressure and fight for his freedom.

2. Don’t threaten him

By giving him ultimatums like saying you will break up with him if he doesn’t commit as manipulative You can’t control how he thinks, feels, or what he decides. 

What you can do is be patient, and present. Because if he is saying that he’s confused, the next step will be “I need space away from you.” And the next step is disappearing completely

3. Don’t take it personally

Sadly, most women see his lack of commitment as a reflection of them, they make it their problem. They think if only they did more for him, if only they were prettier if only they could help him learn to trust again. 

They rationalize that if only they were a little more of this and a little less of that… everything would be different. It wouldn’t.

Here is what to do when your partner is giving you mixed messages:

1. Talk to him about how you’re feeling.

Be open and honest about what you’re looking for and give him the opportunity to do the same. If your intentions don’t align, it might be best to reevaluate what the relationship means to you.

 If his erratic behavior continues, it may be time to walk away. You deserve someone who wants to be with you, not someone who punishes you for his indecisions.

2. Keep yourself busy

While he’s trying to figure out his feelings for you, make sure to keep yourself busy and pay attention to your needs. Focus on your friends, family, self improvement, career and hobbies. 

Take up new activities whenever you can regardless of him. Don’t forget about self care. Stop hoping he will change and simply work on improving yourself for you and no one else.

3. Have a clear boundary

The bottom line is you eventually need to figure out if he wants to move forward with you. There comes a time when enough is enough, and it’s better to know the truth sooner than later where the heart is concerned. Most importantly: be radically honest with yourself, don’t make up excuses to justify behaviors you don’t agree with

So whether he’s hiding his feelings or simply not interested, a man who’s causing any confusion and making you wonder whether or not he likes you might not be worth your time. After all, a man who’s truly worth your time will put as much effort in with you as you do with him, clearly showing you his level of interest.

If he is having second thoughts concerning his feelings and the relationship in general, his attachment to you probably keeps him from making a decision. He may fear the possibility of regretting his choices, and not being able to get you back later on.

In conclusion, warning signs that he’s confused include a guy who has to think about whether or not he wants to be with you. And if you’re meant to be and if he’s the right one for you, he will come to his senses.  He will get rid of all the confusion that’s preventing him from taking things to another level!

Letting go of a confused man within the first few months of dating is much easier than being left by him after a few years of dating. Warning signs that he’s confused include if he won’t commit to you.
