Short and unclear messages mean that the sender is not really putting a lot of thought into their communications with you—and, sadly, that they're losing interest. Examples of this include: If you send a text asking about their day, or telling them about yours, and all you get is a “fine” or a “cool.”
But one of the clearest signs is to look at his actions rather than his words. If he tries to help you out when he can, despite being busy, then he probably likes you and is just genuinely swamped. If he rarely lifts a finger for you, he's probably using being busy as just an excuse to mask his lack of interest.
Signs Your Long-Distance Partner Is Losing Interest
They don't communicate with you as often as they used to. Your partner avoids having meaningful conversations. When you talk to your long-distance partner, they keep their conversations short and avoid talking about feelings or the relationship.
Long-distance relationships require an extra level of thought and communication. Because of this, red flags can often be more difficult to identify in long-distance relationships. Reluctance to communicate, gaslighting, and frequent arguing can all be long-distance red flags.
He Lost Interest
When a guy acts interested then backs off he may just have lost interest. This one might not have a clear reason. He might not even be able to explain it. He was feeling the vibes, and then he wasn't.
Signs he's losing interest could actually be signs he's struggling with his family, his mental health, his career, his goals, or other things that are unrelated to you. If you're worried about maintaining a healthy relationship, try to communicate your fears and needs before blaming or making any assumptions.
Show genuine interest in him to put him at ease.
If you told someone you weren't interested in them and then you start to like them, start up a conversation and ask questions about how he's been. That way, he'll feel like you really care, which may make him start thinking about you again.
One possible reason that he is acting distant is that he is having doubts about the relationship. The reason behind these doubts can be just about anything. The cause for his doubts can range from having feelings for someone else to not feeling satisfied in bed. Or maybe he does not get along well with your family.
Why do guys act interested then pull away? The biggest reason for men to pull away is the fear of their own emotions. The thought of a relationship is appealing to them but the effort scares them.
He's less responsive to your texts and phone calls.
Signs a guy is losing interest through text include taking a long time to respond, being unavailable to chat, and a lack of enthusiasm when you do talk. Do you notice that he has time to post on social media but isn't getting back to you?
Do guys distance themselves when they like a girl or guy? Yes, if they are not convinced the person loves them as much as they love that person. Some men might like you but don't want to look desperate. They believe you might want to take them for granted.
When a guy runs hot and cold on you, it's highly likely that he's insecure. He is blowing hot when he's feeling strong emotions about you. After the first few months of dating, he begins to panic. He gets anxious that you don't like him as much as he does.
The intense need for reassurance and lack of confidence are the clear signs of an insecure guy. He's likely to ask you a lot of questions about himself as he wants you to praise him. He is very concerned about his appearance.
Don't ask him why he hasn't messaged you, and don't tell him you miss him. This text has to let him know that you care enough to check if he's okay and still interested in you. If he replies and gives a solid reason, then all's well, but if he doesn't reply, it's time to move on.
Sometimes space or the “disinterest” from a man, is because he is overwhelmed by our interest and he's unsure how to process it. He can't say that it's not what he wants, but he also leaves us guessing about if he does either. He seems to enjoy the time together, but then also backs away at times.
Lying or breaches of trust.
Infidelity is one of the biggest and most hurtful forms of betrayal. Being unfaithful or not honoring the relationship agreements about having other partners, is a big red flag. However, the warning signs may seem less obvious when it comes to emotional affairs or online affairs.
Simply be courteous and keep some physical distance between you two whenever you meet. Let him have his space but do let him know you miss him once in a while. Remind him of the fun things you did together before but not anymore. Communicate instead of giving the cold shoulder, hoping to send a message.
