He probably does care about you, he does enjoy spending time with you, he does like you… he just doesn’t like you enough.

If he doesn’t talk about his family, or changes the subject anytime you bring them up, it’s a sign that he has no intention of making the introduction.
If you’re the only one making the effort to keep the spark alive and do special things, it’s a sign that he isn’t very invested in you.
If your dates consist of you going over to his place and watching a movie or you cooking for him, then he isn’t taking you or the relationship very seriously.
If he tells you he doesn’t want to be in a relationship, or he has ‘commitment issues,’ or hates labels, just take it at face value, do yourself a favor, and move on.
The simple truth is this: when a guy says he doesn’t want a relationship, what he’s really saying is he doesn’t want a relationship with you.
I think the most common relationship in this day and age is the non-relationship, that is, when you’re dating a guy and you’re basically boyfriend/ girlfriend aside from the fact that you’re not.
His disappearing acts serve more as a way to let you know this relationship isn’t serious and he is still free to do what he wants.
If a guy knows for certain that you’ll always be there waiting in the wings, no matter how badly he behaves, he won’t respect you and he definitely won’t want to commit to you— why should he when he knows he doesn’t have to? There would be absolutely no benefit for him.
He Disappears for Days or Weeks at a Time, Then Acts Like It Was No Big Deal
If a guy truly cares about you, he will want to make room for you in his life. Even if he has a lot going on and won’t be available for a few days, he’ll send a text or message to let you know he’s thinking about you.
If a guy doesn’t share his true self with you, if he won’t let you see who he is at his core, the chances are high that he’s not in it for the long haul and doesn’t see a future with you. If you’re really unsure about whether or not a guy is serious about you, take a look at the things you know…
They stay and cling to the hope that someday he’ll come around and will commit. It’s a huge waste of time and energy, and it really does a number on your sense of self.
Settling for what you don’t want is the surest way to not get what you do want.
If you’ve been hurt in the past, try to see if you can identify any old wounds you’re still carrying around with you. Think about how you interpreted the situation at the time and see if you can spot any faulty beliefs about yourself that may have developed. Then do whatever you need to in order to…
In the years that followed, I became hardened and my once open heart was now unable to feel anything for any man I dated.
To get the relationship that lasts, you have to come to terms with all the ones that didn’t.
If we dwell on something, even for under a minute, our mind becomes programmed to pick it up.
If you believe you’re unattractive, you will dismiss everyone who compliments your appearance and will write it off as them just being nice. When someone says something that implies they don’t find you attractive, you’ll grab hold of it and will use it as proof of your original belief.
Your reality is created in large part by your filter system. If you believe that the guys you want will never want you, you will find a justification for this fear even if it’s far from the case. Once you come to expect the behavior, you create a self-fulfilling prophecy.
