01/7Signs that say your partner likes you but doesn’t love you

Are you in a relationship? And do you also think that because you’re a couple, you ought to be in love? Then think again. As much as you would want to believe so, you should know that there’s a difference between love and what appears like love. What may have seemed like a dream in the beginning, may just fade away with time. You might love your partner, but that doesn’t mean they’ll love you back in return too. Falling in and out of love is extremely common and just because your partner doesn’t love you anymore, doesn’t mean you should think less of yourself. However, it is crucial that you know it when it happens. So, here are some signs that say your partner likes you but isn’t in love with you.

02/7Your partner is comfortable, but emotionally distant

In a relationship sometimes, the level of comfort and compatibility might remain the same, but the love that existed during the initial days may die out. If your partner is not in love with you but genuinely likes you, he may stay in a relationship with you because it is comfortable and you are a great companion. One may love the idea of being together, but that need not be the reason for your partner to love you.

03/7​You’re always the one to say ‘I love you’ first

Love is a beautiful bond between two people and if one of them is missing in the action then there’s no love at all.Saying ‘I Love You’ makes a big difference in a relationship. It generates the ease and comfort everyone looks for in a love affair. However, if it’s only you who’s saying it, you might want to take a second look at your relationship.

04/7They miss eye-contact every time they say ‘I love you’

As the saying goes ‘Eyes never lie”, you can tell a lot about a person’s sincerity in love by looking into his eyes. The easiest way to find out if your partner is in love with you or not, is to look into his eyes when he says those three golden words. So, if your partner cannot look you in the eye while expressing his love for you, there’s a big chance that he is lying.

05/7You still doubt your partner’s feelings for you

What more can be said, when you yourself are unsure about your partner’s feelings for you. If he loves you, you’ll know, because he will care for you like no one else and prioritize you before anyone else. He will accept you for the way you are and appreciate all your efforts. However, if all these aspects of your relationship are missing, then that may be a sign that he is just not that into you anymore.

06/7​You still get introduced to your partner’s family as a ‘friend’

Family is the most important element in a person’s life. If his or her family knows about you, then you’re both sailing in the same beautiful boat. But if you’re still being friend-zoned by your partner in front of his or her family, then they are surely not that serious about you or your relationship.

07/7You don’t feel prioritized

Is your partner’s priority everything else except you? Then that’s definitely a sign that he doesn’t love you anymore. If you don’t feel that your partner is making any efforts in making time for you or is always wandering off with other friends or work colleagues, then there may be a possible tension that’s going on between you two. It’s best to talk it out and reach a conclusion.
