Is he losing interest? How can you tell? Here are five big relationship warning signs that you should watch out for if you feel that your man is starting to become more than just a little distant.

1: Communication starts to slow down

When things started, he would call you and text you all day. Random messages at night, sweet goodbyes and lovely good morning messages were the norm. Now it takes hours for him to reply your texts, calls go unanswered and he gives dozens of excuses as to why he couldn't pick up the phone. His messages are short and to the point and he sounds bored on the phone. The feelings seem wrong. This is usually the first warning sign.

2: Conversations are cut short and plans are left hanging

If the lack of communication is not bad enough, when you do manage to get him on the phone, he is curt and short. His voice lacks concern or caring for you and the enthusiasm he used to show at the prospect of meeting you is gone. He speaks in a monotone voice and is reluctant to meet. Maybe all he needs is some space? But he shouldn't be this cold towards you... right?

3: Dates and meet-ups are kept short and to a minimum

It used to be all day that you two would spend, hanging out at a mall. Going shopping, eating at a cool restaurant and watching a late night movie. He would send you home after with a smile and a 'see you soon' look. Talking seemed so natural and easy and you would spend hours sharing your life with him. But now he seems preoccupied when out with you. His friends seem to take precedence and he would use his phone constantly when out with you. This aloofness seems to be him needing some time off to spend with his friends, but something is just bugging you.

4: The intimacy disappears

He would wrap his fingers around yours, sniff your hair and play with your locks. Nuzzling, tight hugs and stolen kisses that left you dizzy with happiness happened every time you met. His eyes would shine as he looked at you and he would always have his lips curled in that half smile you loved so much. But now the hands that used to grab tight are limp and cold, a stark contrast to the warmth they used to give off. He avoids your eyes and seems to shy away from your touch. He hugs you half heartedly and his lips mash yours with the finesse of a bull. Something is WRONG. A long talk should set things straight right? Or maybe it has been a while since you guys did that...

5: Sex is routine

Guys love it! This will make him love you again! Those nights of passionate lovemaking in exotic places and those close calls you two shared. It should rekindle his feelings right? But even getting him to your bed seems to take an enormous amount of effort. When he finally agrees and you two get it on, it feels wrong. No longer does he rain kisses on your neck and lips, nor does he touch your body like it was the last thing he would do. He takes his pleasure and leaves citing some other commitment. He is not interested any more. Look out for these warning signs early! Some guys that need space could exhibit one or two of these signs, but three of them usually means he has lost interest in you. If you spot these signs early and do something you may be able to reverse the process and get him interested again! But you must also be prepared that the relationship is just not working out. If that is the case, let things go and move on.

Media these days brainwashes us to believe that love is all you need and if you love him enough, he won't want to leave you. But that is false! There are so many things that you can do to keep him interested in you without changing who you are. Knowing what to say and how to appeal to his man brain will have him pursuing you.
