You have been

dating for months, if not years, and you still have no clue where you stand. There

are no ties, no labels, no building a life together. You can’t call it a ‘friend

with benefits’ situation because you are together often but you are no closer

to knowing him than when you first met.

You’re not

tethered. Actually you may be in limbo as there are so many mixed signals that

you are left dizzy trying to keep up. The fact that you still don’t know anything

substantial about him speaks volumes. He may be just stringing you along, or

have commitment issues. It’s possible he just does not know what he wants out

of life.

Below are five

tell-tale signs of that ‘almost’ relationship:

1. He never

talks about the future, he is fine in the here and now.

2. He never says

‘we’. He sure says ‘I’ a lot though.

3. The

relationship has no known boundaries. He will flirt right in front of you and

think nothing of it and cannot understand why you get upset. That’s because he

does not see himself as being in a real relationship. It is not ‘cuffing

season’.

4. Everything

you know about him is basic information. It is all surface level things that

even the post man would know.

5. He does not

want to have long, intimate conversations. He gets annoyed or angry if you ask

about goals and so you find yourself shying away from the hard, difficult but

necessary questions .
