1. You’re starting to feel like a telemarketer.
Is he anxious to end phone conversations right away? If he’s talking to you, but not adding anything to the conversation it’s a sign he’s heading towards the finish line.
2. He avoids talking about the future.
When next Thursday seems like too much of a commitment, it could be because he’s trying to extricate himself by Wednesday night.
3. He says, “I need some space” or “I think we should see other people.”
Guys are famous for using “exit strategies.” By telling you he wants to see other people, he’s not technically breaking up with you (so no big crying scene to endure) but he’s given himself a way out. Of course, the second he gets a little distance, he’s going to make a run for it.
4. If he’s looking left, something’s not right.
According to Bill Raduenz, private investigator, a person who looks up into the air and to the left when he speaks to you is “not being truthful.” The look left is an indication we’re using the “creative” side of our brains and a good indicator he’s telling you a whopper.
5. He gives you that little pat on the back.
Watch out for this one. A person who gives you a hug while patting you on the back is indicating that they are uneasy. The “hand pat” on the back indicates someone is uncomfortable with what they’re doing. The bigger the pat, the more discomfort they feel.
6. You don’t like what you see in the mirror.
People mirror each other’s body language when they’re in love with similar gestures, voice volume, etc. If you’re noticing the two of you are out of sync, you probably are.
That’s not all. According to body language expert Patti Wood, a person who’s about to dump you will display a lack of open “windows” towards you. “Windows” being his heart, eyes, neck and palms. If your man turns his heart (the center of his chest) away from you as you’re talking to each other, it’s a big sign he’s not interested.
7. You see the writing on the wall.
According to graphologist Karen Weinberg, QDE, a person who is thinking of ending a relationship will show clues in his handwriting. When writing the word “love” he may begin to drop down the letter “e.” Another sign to watch for is if your partner diminishes the size of your name (a sign of your importance to him.)
8. He used to be a three-blue-shirts-and-four-pair-of-Chinos kind of guy, and suddenly he’s obsessed with Armani.
According to Attorney Mel Frumkes, a person who is about to leave (or is cheating) will take greater care with his appearance – updating his wardrobe, losing weight, working out and even changing cologne. If your sweetie looks like he just finished taping an episode of “A Makeover Story” – Those Chinos might not be the only dud he’s looking to lose.
