Is it Time to Break Up?

Identifying a bad mate is not easy. But as time passes, you’d be able to become a better judge. So is it time to break up? Read the hidden signs.

 

It’s never easy to recognize a wrong lover or realize if it is time to break up, especially if you’ve been in love for a while.
But if you’re in a relationship that’s causing you more pain and sleepless nights than love and happy hours, then perhaps it’s time you watch out for these silent signals that every bad lover gives away.
If you find yourself experiencing any of these signs here, it’s probably time to break up and move on.

The blind spot in love
Every time a guy and a girl get together, there’s always sparks of love, bursts of attraction and those starry-eyed moments.
And then there’s the “oooh, I’m so in love with you” times and a lot more.
In almost every relationship in the world, the start is almost always perfect.
For some, the sunny phase of infatuation could last a week, and for others, maybe even a year.
When people fall in love, they easily readjust their blind spot over the negative aspects of their new lover, until the passion of the initial phase starts to flicker.
The flicker of lost passion is gradual, and it’s hard to distinguish the difference when you’re in love.
And very soon, you may just learn to “accept” that all relationships lose the spark after a few months.
Or worse, you may even realize the fact that you’re not happy in the relationship, but you may be too afraid to walk out, because you’re still not sure if it’s time for you to break up.

Is it time to break up?
There’s something about love that all of us should remember, when your gut tries to tell you something, you have to follow it.
But if you’re not really sure if you’re stuck in a losing battle, here are a few tell tale signs that confirm the fact that it’s time to break up and walk on, without your lover by your side. See if these traits describe your relationship, and if they do, you’d be better off going your own separate ways.

In love with an ex
Talking about an ex once in a while may be a sign of your lover opening up to you. The conversation could also be mildly interesting. But a person who continuously talks about their ex has some serious issues to think about.
Now if they’re happy in love with you, why would your mate want to talk about an ex? On an occasional note, that’s not bad at all. But some people don’t understand that there’s a big difference in a passing comment and a three hour one-sided speech about an ex! One sure sign that your lover’s just using you for “love” is when they start speaking about their ex as if they were better than you, or if they start comparing you negatively.
If you’re trying to push yourself to try and be a better lover, just give that up and chuck your mate out in the dirt. Being unfairly compared on a regular basis is not something anyone in the world would want to put up with. After all, no one wants to be viewed or treated as second best, especially not with an ex!

Isolation rules
When a mate says they want to be with you all the time, of course, it makes you feel special. But as time passes by, you may find that you’re spending more time with this one person, and hardly any with your best friends or family.
A person who wants you to be around them all the time, even if you have better things to do, may just be jealous that you might have a better time with others and may want to go out again. Even if you’re having a boring time with your mate, if your mate keeps convincing you not to meet others, either by threatening you or by bad mouthing about them, then it’s time you let your mate know straight out, that your friends and family are just as important to you.
How can you expect to get settled down and be happy with a person who would love to see you in an isolation cell for the rest of your life just to feel more secure?

Abuse and threaten
Remember this, no matter how nice a partner is, if they’re abusive, verbally or physically, they’re not worth being with. Is it time to break up if an abusive streak shows up? Definitely.
Never look at that as “just one little bad habit”. You wouldn’t say the same thing the day your dinner gets poisoned or when your partner gives you a black eye, would you?
Do not be mistaken into thinking that you can change the person. Many abusers will not change however many times they fall into your lap crying and begging for forgiveness. If you threaten to leave but then receive a marriage proposal or an expensive gift, do not be fooled. A person who is willing to abuse you before marriage will not hesitate to do so after they have slipped the ring on your finger. At least if you leave now, you can avoid the trauma of an abusive marriage and a potentially nasty divorce.

Cheating mate
When you catch your lover cheating on you, you have two options. Take them back and risk going through it all over again or break off the relationship and start your life afresh.
Your partner may be sorry for what they have done and promise to remain faithful in future, but can you trust them again? The doubts may never go away if you stay with your partner. But if you think you can hold on and help grow the relationship, then give it a shot. But make sure you dump your cheating half immediately even if you sense a small sliver of a doubt after the first incident. Or your mate may end up cheating on you, again and again, until you’re the one who’s left messed up.

 Constant arguments
Do you find that both of you are constantly arguing and waiting to pick a fight? Your love may be on rocky shores and it may only be a matter of time before things get worse. The reason you are in a relationship is to find out if you are compatible with one another, possibly in preparation for marriage.
But if after a while, you find that you are not compatible and you argue all the time, then it may be time to break up and end the relationship. The person you thought was your soulmate may not be perfect after all, and this can be hard to accept.
It’s never easy to accept that you picked the wrong lover. But really, everyone makes mistakes, so don’t fret. Isn’t walking out a much better option than hanging on to the worst relationship you’ve ever had?

Control freak
Every now and then, when we fall in love, we come across control freaks. At first, all their quizzing sounds sweet and concerned, which makes you feel special. But as time passes by, you notice that their curiosity turns into a desperate bid to know every little detail about the things you do.
They sulk, abuse, or get frustrated when you don’t let them know what you’ve been up to for a couple of hours, and they would want to be around you all the time.
A person who wants to be around you all the time may just be insecure or may have had some issues in the past. Perhaps they were cheated and they’re worried it’ll happen again. But this sort of behavior would not change easily, so if you’re hoping your mate would just wake up one morning and stop pissing you off all the time, it’s never going to happen. This behavior will go on till the last day of your relationship unless your partner and you work on it.
It is never easy to distinguish the difference between a true lover and a selfish person who cares about nothing but themselves. But if you’re ever caught in a trap with a person who drains the happiness out of your life each and every single day when you’re together, ask yourself, isn’t it much better to just break up, even if it feels like it’s the hardest thing to do?
So if you ever find your mate exhibiting any of these breakup time signs, then give them a warning, or walk straight out if you can’t tolerate it anymore.

How to Stop Thinking About Someone You Still Like

Want to know how to stop thinking about someone you like and miss? Here are 20 tips that can help you with that and make you a better person too.

It’s hard being ignored by someone you like.
And at other times, it’s painfully hard to force yourself to stop thinking of someone when you know it just can’t work out.
I’ve been in many happy relationships myself and a few of them did end in a bad way where I was left in the lurch.

And I’ve been madly in love with someone who I know will never love me back for silly reasons.
At the end of it all, through my turmoil and pain, I learnt a few things that helped me stop thinking about someone you like, especially when they don’t like you back

How to stop thinking about someone
You may have your own reasons to stop thinking of someone.
While the reasons to stop missing someone may be plenty, the ways are all similar.
Here are 20 easy tips that you could use to stop missing someone and realize where you’re going wrong at the same time.

#1 Make up your mind. 
What do you really want to do? Do you want to get over that person or do you just want to stop obsessing over them? Sometimes, clarity is all you need to progress and face reality.

#2 Look for closure. 
Don’t ignore the incident or avoid thinking about it. Instead, accept the fact that the event happened. Spend a day or two brooding over it by yourself and once you feel saturated by thoughts, let go and move on.

#3 Don’t feign memory loss. 
Don’t pretend like you don’t miss that person. Don’t try to forget that this person existed. Instead, just focus on ways to avoid getting affected by it.

#4 Find someone else to think about. 
If you want to stop thinking about someone, the easiest and perfect way is to find someone else to think about. Create a distraction and start obsessing about someone else. It’ll work wonders.

#5 Don’t look for ways to contact them or bump into them. 
 It’s easy to fantasize about circumstances and happy reunions. Instead, give up on plotting ways to contact them and accept the fact that you are looking for ways to stop thinking of them.

#6 Think of their negative traits.
 If you’re smitten by someone, it’s time to knock them off your pedestal of awesomeness. Think of it, this person wasn’t as perfect as you imagined them to be. If you want to avoid falling in love with them, remember all their flaws and heighten them.

#7 Don’t be depressed.
  It’s easy to get depressed and suffer from low self esteem, especially when you feel like someone’s walked all over you. Have a laugh yourself and enjoy a good time. Watch funny youtube videos or a comedy to remind yourself of how it feels to laugh.

#8 Don’t stay idle. 
An idle mind is a devil’s workshop. Heard that one before, haven’t you? In this case, it’ll be the workshop of the one you’re thinking about. You do know it’s stupid to give this person any more space and time on your mind. So keep yourself occupied and avoid thinking of this person.

#9 Don’t stalk them, online or offline.
 Social networks have made it so much easier to stalk exes and crushes. While it may seem like a gift, it’s still a curse. You’ll never move on unless you keep all news of this person away.

#10 Respect yourself.
 This *special someone* walked all over you by treating you like dirt. They don’t respect you nor do they care about you. Do you think you respect yourself enough? If you do, why are you humiliating yourself by obsessing about someone who clearly doesn’t deserve any of your time or love?

#11 Learn a new activity. 
Learn or do something that’s always excited you, be it playing games or joining a dance class. It’ll fill your mind with fresh, happy thoughts that’ll eventually wipe away all traces of the person you’re trying to get over.

#12 Don’t criticize yourself. 
Don’t try to pick flaws in yourself and find reasons for their behavior. Sometimes, some people are just selfish or they just suck. There’s nothing wrong with you.

#13 Avoid romantic movies. 
Avoid romantic movies, songs and shows. It’ll just stir up all those locked emotions and turn you into a sadist who loves torturing yourself. Watch fun movies or for something even better, watch wild sexy movies involving lots of friends or single people.

#14 Visit new places or go on a vacation. 
Sometimes, all you need is a fabulous vacation with friends to clear your mind and focus on new things. You’ll come back feeling a lot better.

#15 Accept the fact that they’ve moved on. 
 Remind yourself that they’ve moved on and forgotten all about you. You know what, this person doesn’t even care about you anymore! They’re probably thinking of someone else right now. Disgusts you, doesn’t it? Well, accept the fact and let that give you the strength.

#16 Don’t talk about that person with your friends. 
 Indulge in gossip, but avoid talking about this person even if it feels sickly satisfying to talk about them.

How to Get Over A Crush and Have Fun Doing It

Crushes may seem like a teenage thing. But even grownups experience it all the time. Find out how to get over a crush and have fun at the same time.

 

Crushes are a rollercoaster.
For a few moments, it can make you float on cloud nine.
But for the rest of the time, it can haunt you and torment you.
Almost always, a crush can make your life miserable and bring it to a standstill.
While it’s enjoyable and exciting for a few weeks, a long term crush can bring more nervousness and pain than happiness.
And the worst part, a serious crush can also strip you off your confidence and self respect.

How to get over a crush
Most people assume that they’re in love with their crush.
But it’s not love. Really, it’s not.
It won’t be love even if your crush starts to date you.
Crushes, just like love, always starts with infatuation. And when you have a crush on someone, big chances are, you’re just madly attracted to them and nothing more.
No matter what your age, you’re definitely going to get a crush on many people in your life. If you interact with new members of the opposite sex, you may even have a new crush every week.
And guess what, people in love get crushes too!
A crush is nothing but an appreciation of beauty or certain traits that you admire in someone else, especially the opposite sex.
Getting a crush on someone is easy. But getting over a crush, well, that’s a whole new story.

Tips to get over a crush and have fun doing it!
For some people, getting over a crush is easy. You like someone, and then you forget all about it.
But for many people, a crush is more serious. You may like someone and see them now and then. And each time you see them, you start to like them a little more.
Having an uncontrollable crush on someone is never good, especially if you can’t handle it or if it interferes with your daily life.
If you have a crush on someone and feel like you need to put an end to it or deal with it in a better way, here are 10 tips to do that and have fun along the way!

#1 Start liking someone else. 
Get a crush on someone else. You have to remember that crushes are nothing but temporary moments of mad infatuation. Just start finding someone else attractive and desirable and you’ll completely overcome your earlier crush.
Anyone with a bit of experience with getting over crushes will tell you that the easiest way to get over a crush is to get a new crush on someone else. Pretty soon, you’ll just get over any crush you have whenever you want to.

#2 Talk about your crush with your friends.
 Sometimes, an addiction can be overcome when you fill yourself up to the brim and feel sick about it. It’s like getting drunk and suffering a hangover the next morning. Don’t bottle your feelings up and assume they’ll go away. Sometimes, they’ll just secretly grow inside of you. Instead, talk about it like it’s a funny and trivial affair so you start to treat it like it’s nothing more than a little crush.

#3 Don’t think about your crush. 
Talk about your crush with your friends, but don’t think of this person when you’re alone. Spending hours fantasizing about your hopeless romance will take you nowhere. If you find yourself getting distracted by thoughts of your crush, occupy yourself with a good game or a show on the telly.

#4 Speak to your crush. 
 The most painful of crushes are the ones that are never spoken about. If you want the crush to wane away, brave yourself up and strike a conversation with your crush. When you start talking to your crush after getting introduced by someone else, you may start to realize that your crush isn’t such a fine catch anyway!

#5 Ask your crush out on a date.
  If your crush accepts your proposal, it’s even better. If they decline you, you can force yourself to move on. Crushes are little fantasies that we create in our head to make ourselves happy. When you do ask a crush out, you’ll be forced to face reality and ask yourself if you really do want to date them after all.

#6 Flirt with someone else. 
Start flirting with someone else, be it a friend or another crush. You’ll almost always forget about your crush as soon as you start having a good time with someone else.

#7 Don’t revolve your world around your crush.
Would your crush like the new dress you’re picking up? Would your crush like your new hairstyle or bag the next time you bump into them? Seriously, stop obsessing about your crush and revolving your world around them. I’m telling you again, just get a crush on someone else or meet someone who likes you too.
Avoid stalking your crush online on facebook or in real life. It may seem like fun for a few moments, but it’ll always make you feel like a lost cause once the distraction is gone.

#8 Don’t place your crush on a pedestal. 
Watch your crush and see their flaws. Could you really date someone like this? When you genuinely test both your compatibilities and are convinced that you can’t really date this person in reality, you’ll realize that this person you like is just a little crush who is of no importance in your real life.

#9 Make someone else get a crush on you. 
Make eye contact with someone else. Create little moments that excite you and make butterflies flit in your stomach. This new person doesn’t have to look as attractive as your crush. They only need to give you the attention you need and crave. When you find this new person exchanging glances with you, you’ll think better about yourself, feel more confident and get over your crush too.

#10 Deal with it. 
 Always avoid the mystery of the scary “what might have been”. Do something about your crush, get an answer and move on. Unless you deal with your big crush in some manner, you’ll always have a crush and a big regret. End it by confessing or getting over it. You’ll feel so much better for the rest of your life. Or years later, you’ll still find yourself spending several minutes now and then wondering about “what if…” and “why didn’t I take a chance…”
If you have a crush on someone and you’re having a hard time getting over it, let the word get out that you like this person. If you don’t have the confidence to ask them out directly, ask a good friend to drop the word to a common friend, and see how your crush reacts. As with everything in life, sometimes hearing the truth from the horse’s mouth is always the best solution.

Just use these 10 tips on how to get over a crush and you’ll definitely feel a lot better about yourself, and get your life back in order too. And the next time you get a crush on someone else, you’ll learn to enjoy it instead of regretting it!

Signs Your Friends Are Ruining Your Relationship

Your friends may seem nice and trustworthy, but are your friends ruining your relationship? Use these traits to find out if they’re bad for your love.

Friends can be the best thing in the world.
But at times, they can be the worst too.
Do you find yourself jumping from one relationship to another all the time?
Do you think there’s something wrong with you?
Sometimes, it may not be you.
It may be your best friends who’re unknowingly messing your relationships up for you without your notice.
 
Are your friends ruining your relationship?
A long time ago, I saw this great girl from another college at a frat party.
I thought she was extremely cute and I really wanted to know her better.
We exchanged glances with each other all night, but she had to leave before I could make my move.
The next day, I got a note from her. One of our common friends hand delivered it to me. In the note, she mentioned that she really liked me and would like to meet me sometime.
I showed the note to my best friend, and he rubbished it immediately.
“She’s a whore, dude, she just wants to sleep around. And she doesn’t look good anyway… Forget about her, she’s just not worth it…” he said as he tore the note into bits.
I didn’t bother responding to the note, and forgot all about her.
A year later, I saw her again in another friend’s arm. She looked so stunning, I had a hard time holding my jaws shut. My friend introduced her and I found out later that he was her first boyfriend.
Apparently, she was a shy girl who never hung out with boys and was only interested in a serious relationship.
I felt like kicking myself in the head for being such a jerk and blowing her off after she worked her courage up to write me a letter.
But what I realized at the same time is how easily friends can manipulate you into walking away from perfect relationships.

13 signs your friends are ruining your relationship
It may be jealousy, malice or a veiled attempt to be better than you, but sometimes even the best of friends can turn out to be real backstabbers, at least when it comes to love.
If you find yourself breaking up from seemingly perfect relationships all the time, perhaps, you need to ask yourself if your friends played a bigger part than you first imagined.
Here are 13 circumstances when your best friends could turn out to be your worst relationship nightmare.

#1 Your friends think your date’s not good enough.
 Ever been here? You date someone you really like but your friends think your date’s obnoxious or ugly? At times like these, you may start wondering yourself if you’ve made the wrong choice. And once you start thinking, it’s easy to mentally turn even a perfect partner into an ugly hag.

#2 Friends who constantly want your attention. 
Do your friends constantly butt in when you’re hanging out with your new lover? To your friends, gate crashing your romantic date may seem like a laugh. But it can actually piss your new date off.
If your friends constantly whine about how much time you spend with your new squeeze, they’re just bored and annoyed that you’ve got something better to do. Real friends give you a choice. Bad friends only care about their own fun.

#3 Talking about past relationships. 
Past relationships are always sensitive. When you and your date are hanging out with your friends, do your friends constantly talk about your exes or about the way you used to behave around an ex just to have a laugh?

#4 Friends who want you to cheat.
  Your friend may love one night stands, but they really shouldn’t be trying to convince you to do the same when you’re in a relationship. It’s easy to be manipulated by friends you trust, but sometimes you need to space yourself from these kinds of friends who don’t want your romantic relationships to evolve into something better.
#5 Friends who make you ignore your lover. 
When you’re out with your lover and your friends, do your friends constantly try to keep you occupied or try to split both of you into separate conversations?
Friends who make you ignore your lover by constantly trying to keep you engrossed in another conversation or take you to another part of the room are never good for your budding relationship.

#6 Friends who flirt with your lover. 
 There are bad friends and then there are worse. Friends who flirt with your new date behind your back are the worst kind. If your friend tries to put you down, or calls up your lover and speaks for hours when you’re not around, there’s a good chance that your friend is looking for ways to break both of you up and enter the picture.

#7 They disrespect your partner. 
Do you feel like your friends ignore your new lover or treat them disrespectfully while hanging out together? If you feel it, chances are, it’s true. When your friends disrespect your date, it reflects badly on you as a lover.

#8 Your friends speak ill of you. 
 Do your friends treat you disrespectfully when you’re with your date? Your friends should help you impress your date and win a lover over, not make you look bad. If your friends put you down in front of your lover, they’re probably jealous or annoyed.


#9 They always show the worst side.
  Do your friends offer bad advice or tell you to break up with your partner over the smallest of reasons? If your friends always make you see the worst in your partner, they may not be such good friends, after all. If they have good reasons, perhaps they’re only trying to help you. But almost always, friends whose only advice starts with “break up…” are up to no good.

#10 Your friends know your amorous secrets. 
If you’ve been good friends for a while, your friends would definitely know your dirty secrets. They may even know about that hottie who flirted with you a few nights ago.
Do your friends pull your leg or threaten to reveal all your dirty secrets in front of your new lover when all of you go out together? Even if it’s just a joke and they don’t say anything out loud to your new lover, these kinds of conversations will always rouse doubts in your new lover and may even strain your new relationship beyond repair.

#11 Friends who flirt with you.
This is something you’ll have to deal with immediately. Do any of your friends of the opposite sex like you or try to flirt with you in front of your new date? It doesn’t matter if your flirty friend hits on you on facebook or on the streets, it’s still going to make your new lover feel awkward and insecure.

#12 Friends of the opposite sex.  
Do you have a best friend of the opposite sex? If you do, you’re already starting off on the insecure foot. Not many people feel comfortable dating someone who has a best friend of the opposite sex. And if your best friend is touchy feely, you’re going to have a harder time convincing your new lover that you and your best friend are just good friends.

#13 Friends who know too much. 
Do your friends know every little secret about your partner? You may like those discussions you have with your friends about partners, affairs and prick sizes or boob sizes. But if your partner gets to know about it, they may get rather annoyed.
Most of the time, your partner may not like it when you share your relationship’s intimate details with your friends. To ensure that your friends aren’t affecting your relationship, avoid talking about intricate details with your friends, especially when it comes to your partner and their embarrassing areas.

Ways You are Scaring Men Off

You think you have found your Mr.Right, but after the first date he seems to have blocked your number. Weeks later when you finally bump into him he doesn't recognize you. Does this happen all too often? Chances are you are unintentionally scaring guys off. But don't worry the problem is fixable once you identify the mistakes that you are making.

Talking marriage from day one:
 That might be your aim eventually, but it’s a good idea to not talk about wedding bells on the first date. Even if you are meeting him for an arranged marriage scenario, make sure you get to know him first before you start talking about kundlis.

Picking fights from day one: 
Of course there are legit things to get mad about, but if you’ve just started dating someone, then getting angry over every little thing sends out the wrong signals.

Constant virtual PDA:
Changing your Facebook status to ‘in a relationship’ after the first date might make you seem too needy. And the constant messaging and hourly calls just add to it.

Making him talk to your family:
  Adding him to your family Whatsapp group post after the first date isn’t a great idea. Also don’t expect him to jump at your suggestion of meeting your family for the next date. We bet the moment you suggest it, he is already thinking of an excuse to run away.

Disliking his friends: 
You might have met then briefly before you started dating, but dissing them on the first date isn’t a great idea. It gives out the idea that in future you won’t let him hang out with people he likes. Needy much?

Comparing him to your ex:
  The first date isn’t a great time to talk about that ex whom you almost married.

Question him too much:  
You want to know each other and questions are inevitable, but asking him ten question before he even had a chance to sit down, is taking things a bit too far.

Saying I Love You too quickly: 
Everyone loves to feel special but hearing these three words on the second date is a little too freaky.

Stalking him:
Accidentally showing up at the same bar where he is hanging out with the boys can’t always be passed off as a coincidence. If he feels that you are going to give him no space, he sure is going to make an excuse and run.

Things Guys Don’t Really Care About in a Relationship

 The statement, ‘Do what you want,' really means just that when a guy says it. There is no hidden agenda or secret read-between-the-lines meaning that you have to search for. Although we do know what men want - most of the time - there are some things that men just don't care about. And by that they don't mean that they don't care about it in a mean, non-caring manner, just that it doesn't figure in their priority list. So save yourself the trouble and let go of these 15 things that men genuinely don't care about.

If you aren’t a neat freak:
Monica isn’t really all that fun a person to live with. So if you have clothes lying on the floor when he is coming over, don’t panic. His home is in a worst state.
Hopefully this will put a lot of us at ease. Guys admit to not really caring about those smile lines or tiny wrinkles around your eyes. They aren’t the overly critical beings that we are, so chances are till you point them out, they haven’t really noticed them. So quit with the extra make up to cover them.

Your conflicting hobbies: 
They don’t mind if you think that their gaming obsession is silly. They secretly think that your book hoarding habits are equally bad but they are willing to live with it because what’s life without a little dose of silly.

 That extra flab:
 We tend to notice even the minutest of changes in our bodies. Honestly that zit on your face or an extra kilo here and there is not even something that they notice.

Chipped nail polish:
Or not so perfect eyeliner. Or just make up in general. Men generally don’t register these tiny imperfections that are like religion to us.

 Branded bottoms: 
Most men can’t tell brands so if you walk out looking like a million bucks in a dress picked from a local shop, chances are he won’t know, or care. As long as you are comfortable in what you are wearing, they don’t really bother about the labels.

 How soon you jump in bed: 
While it’s always a good idea to get to know the guy before you jump in between the sheets, there is no set timeline as to when it is okay to have sex. If you respect yourself, you will automatically get it from him too regardless of whether you jump in bed with him before or after a set period of time.

 Which place you choose for dinner:
As long as it serves beer and screens the on-going match, they are quite okay with the places you choose for date time. In fact they are also okay with hanging around the house and ordering in. So on days when you just don’t feel like dressing up, a romantic date at home will not leave him disappointed either.

 What his friends think of you: 
Barring a few really close buddies, guys generally won’t care what their guy gang thinks of you. As long as they enjoy your company, they are okay with their pals having their own opinion. So don’t beat yourself up overthinking last weekend’s conversations and what you could have and should have said instead.

 If you aren’t a neat freak: 
Monica isn’t really all that fun a person to live with. So if you have clothes lying on the floor when he is coming over, don’t panic. His home is in a worst state.

Signs That Your Guy Wants To Date You

Knowing when your guy BFF is hitting on you can be quite tricky. He might just be a really close friend who shares everything with you and you might mistake it for a crush. While it's difficult to tell if he wants to be more than just good friends, here are 16 signs that indicate that he does, or is going to, have more than friendly feelings towards you.

 

He never talks about women crushes:  
We all have that one person on whom we crush on for life but if your friend isn't talking about any other women apart from you, chances are he's trying to give you a hint.

He always has time for you: 
 Even in the best of friendships we often get caught up in other things. But if he always returns your calls, texts you when he said he will and is always emotionally available, he sure is making huge efforts to show that he cares.

He seems very protective of you: 
 No matter what happens, he is always there to make sure you are safe. He defends you in most situations and each time you are in a difficult situation, he is always a phone call away.

 He compliments you:
  He notices all the little changes in you and always makes it a point to compliment you and let you know that you look great.

 He hangs out will all your girl friends: 
 Even if he doesn’t like them, he makes an effort because he knows how much they matter to you.

He treats you like a queen:  
He offers to pay, opens doors for you and is a gentleman. Men don’t generally do that for everyone, so you know you are pretty special to him if he does.

 He loves to talk: 
Anytime that you need some advice, he is there to lend an ear. He never gets bored of the things that you have to say and he also makes an effort to remember the little things that you share with him.

 He shares his feelings: 
Guys generally take a long time to open up. So if he has spoken to you about his dreams and ambitions, rest assured that you hold quite a special place in his life.

He gets jealous:
When you talk about that hottie at work, he seems to get angry or changes the topic. You know that he cares for you, when the thought of you with other boys makes him uncomfortable or unhappy.
