You Always Initiate Your Conversations
If you are always the one reaching out to talk to them or plan to meet, this can be a pretty clear indicator that they are not as invested in the relationship as you are. While they might love spending time with you as friends, they might not want to give you the wrong impression or they might have actually realized you like them as more than friends.
This can be a reason why they never seem to want to reach out to you in order to spend time together. If they saw you as a potential love interest, they would be much more likely to reach out to you and want to talk to you as frequently as possible.
They Never Put Your First
Prioritizing you and your feelings should be something a potential partner would put a lot of focus on. They would want you to see that you are a priority in their life and that no matter what might happen they will always be there.
If you see that the person you have feelings for is not prioritizing seeing you or being there for you when you need them, you might have to accept that they are not romantically interested in you.
They Give You Mixed Signals
If they appear all interested for one minute and then ignore you for days, this person might just be interested in getting your attention. This is something that is difficult to realize, especially when you get caught up in how nice they are to you when they pay attention to you.
Some people just like to flirt a lot and bounce around people simply because they crave attention. They might even want to see if they can make you fall for them or they might not be able to decide between you and another person.
You certainly don't deserve this treatment and if you notice such a pattern, it might be better to step back as this will most likely not lead to the romantic relationship you are expecting.
Overcoming Romantic Rejection One Step at a Time
If you have noticed any of the previous points when it comes to the person you are interested in, you might have finally decided that you need to get over them. Sometimes you just know they will not be able to give you the love you need or they might just not be the person you expected.
Despite the reason, here are some important tips to follow in order to overcome this rejection and find yourself and your true happiness once again.
