By Irene Eloisa
1. “That guy’s still looking for another girl. Or still unsure about you.” – Gerald, 22
2. “He doesn’t like you, and he’s a loser for it.” – Matt, 23
3. “It means he’s either not into you at all, or that he’s actually into someone else.” – EJ, 22
4. “There are only two sides of a coin. He’s either just got out of a really long relationship, or that he’s simply a fuckboy.” – Dominic, 20
5. “There’s a lot. Exes maybe. Finds out doesn’t want pressure, commitment and sh*t like that. Has another girl. Or is playing you.” – Nate, 24
6. “It means that he feels like he isn’t in a place in his life where he can be in a committed relationship and is currently just interested in something casual.” – Daniel, 26
7. “It actually depends on the guy’s situation. Maybe he’s a fuckboy or maybe he’s afraid to hurt you.” – Arnold, 20
8. “He’s just not that into you.” – Johann, 23
9. “It means he wants to date around. No strings attached, whatever goes, goes.” – Mark, 22

13. “It means exactly that. Guys are surprisingly straightforward with their words.” – Alex, 25

15. “Maybe he’s just got out of a serious relationship. Or maybe he’s not certain about what the next step in life is so he doesn’t want to get attached to anyone.” – Adam, 24
16. “He just doesn’t like the girl.” – MJ, 22
