The first time you realized the world wasn’t a fair place was probably in elementary school when you got your crush her favorite candy. But then, later that school year, you overheard her telling her friends you were not her type.

That must have stung. The fact is, sometimes, no amount of gifts or affection could make someone reciprocate your love for them. As a result, everyone, at some point, experiences the unbearable pain associated with rejection.

While rejection is a general phenomenon to humans, the way it is handled by people largely varies. Some people, for instance, have a, which is trauma built from being neglected by loved ones since they were young. Rejection for such individuals is like tearing open a healing wound and can trigger a series of.

There’s also a tendency for men to handle rejection worse than women. This is because they absorb subliminal messages from society which teaches them that if they’re unable to woo women into falling for them, they’re less than.

Regardless of who you are and how well or not so well you handle rejection, being able to identify signs of lack of interest from your crush saves you a ton of stress. Besides, unrequited love hurts a lot less when it’s you who has decided to pull the plug and leave her alone.

The following are ten well thought out signs to look out for to know whether or not your crush reciprocates your love for her:

Bad Texting

In this day and age, relationships needto thrive. To begin with, most people who have phones (millennials and gen-z) are usually in proximity to it, so when someone is taking hours to respond or leaving you on “read,” it’s not unintentional. It’s a choice, and they’re subtly telling you to back off. Of course, you may bring it up to the person to see if they’ll adjust for you. If they start replying, but it’s one-word answers, or your conversations seem forced, the person is uninterested. Do yourself a favor and take your love elsewhere.

Excuses

Relationships are very delicate in the beginning, andis not the way to go. If your crush is always indecisive when you ask to hang out, then she’s probably uninterested in spending time with you to get to know you more. Even worse is when she leads you to believe she’ll show up, then calls to give some flimsy excuse about something coming up. If this has happened more than twice, it’s no mistake. Walk away from that person and the entire situation.

Friend Zoning

Friend zoning is a common thing girls (and guys) do when they like you as a person, but they’re not sexually attracted to you. Sometimes girls use it as a way to make their rejection less obvious. It involves recurrent random friendship reminders. She’ll say things like ‘Oh, I love you like a brother, “You’re an amazing friend,” or she seizes every opportunity to call you herbestie.If she makes such remarks frequently, you’ll have to decide if you can stay being friends with your crush. If you can’t, just walk away.

Avoids Physical Contact

One-sided hugs, curving kisses, wriggling out of your hold are all apparent signs your crush doesn’t want you touching her. When a girl does this, the guy often thinks she’s playing hard to get. As a result, he makes even more physical advances in hopes that she’ll budge and become receptive at some point. If you’re ever, ask her questions. If she says she’s indeed uncomfortable, it probably means she’s not sexually attracted to you. Discontinue such advances and maybe even give up trying to get her since she’s not into you.
