And when everyone is talking about it, you can\u2019t help but start thinking about it yourself. And if you\u2019re single, then it probably becomes even more of a burden on your mind (whether you want it to or not!)\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>While you\u2019re left to contemplate all the intricacies of your love-life in a span of one-week, you\u2019re probably asking yourself, \u201cWhy am I single, anyway? I\u2019m smart, sweet, and fabulous!\u201d What\u2019s keeping the great men around from stepping up and making a move? Well, we\u2019re here to fill you in on some reasons why a guy may not be pursuing you.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>5. He\u2019s scared<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Yes, guys can be just as insecure as the rest of us. You may be completely unaware of his own fears when it comes to pursuing a relationship\u2014whether its fear of being rejected, having his heart broken, or even failure altogether. To make a move, it takes some confidence and courage, and some men may not be there yet.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>4. He\u2019s not ready for a relationship (really)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ve witnessed this time and time again: a man and a woman spend time together, are great friends, and clearly, one party (the woman) has feelings for the other. The man, however, seems to take a step back. He may just not be ready for a relationship (right now). You may be exactly what he\u2019s dreamed of, but that won\u2019t matter one bit if he\u2019s not in the right place. He may be focused on other things, like his career or even enjoying his friendships. Timing really matters for some guys, and that\u2019s just something we have to accept and respect. Just remember, while he may not be ready now, you can always leave a little space in your heart for when he <em>is<\/em> ready, should you choose to accept him then. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>3. He\u2019s just not that into you<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>So, maybe you\u2019ve gone ahead and given some pretty explicit signs you\u2019re interested. Still, no movement on his part. This is when you may have to consider that he just isn\u2019t that into you. You may think this is terrible, but really, it\u2019s better for you in the end. You want to be with someone who is as crazy about you as you are about them. And yes, that person exists.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. He\u2019s working on himself<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Oftentimes we get carried away with blaming ourselves for someone else\u2019s lack of interest or pursuit in us. Sometimes, you\u2019ll need to recognize that he if he hasn\u2019t asked you out yet, it might just be because he\u2019s actually working on himself. This is something to be applauded. If he\u2019s not ready to pursue a relationship with you now, there\u2019s good reason to believe it\u2019s best that he didn\u2019t! Take it as a sign and don\u2019t wait around obsessing over his next move. This is the perfect chance for you to do some of your own reflecting to illuminate your own personal journey. What areas of <em>your<\/em> own life need some work or added focus? Where are some places you need to heal? What are your own goals in life? You can even <a href=\"http:\/\/www.keen.com\/listings?tid=TJ6UN1TK\" title=\"Love Advice at KEEN.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">talk to your KEEN Psychic <\/a>\u00a0to work on the becoming the best version of you, too.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>1. He doesn\u2019t know you\u2019re into him\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>How many times do guys have to tell us before we believe them: men can\u2019t read our minds. We <em>want<\/em> them to really bad, but alas, they cannot. And because of this reason, your love-interest may have zero clue about your feelings for him. You may be putting out the vibe and his radar can be completely off. Want to help him figure it out? It\u2019s time to show him how you feel. Don\u2019t be scared to be bold and make a move yourself: start up a convo, set up some plans to hang out. Go ahead and help him out by showing a little love and see what happens.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>If you want deeper insight directly into what you\u2019re experiencing, a gifted <a href=\"http:\/\/www.keen.com\/listings?tid=TJ6UN1TK\" title=\"Love Advice at KEEN.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">KEEN Psychic<\/a>\u00a0is exactly who you need to talk to.
