Women are really quite a tricky bunch when they want to be, and most times they tend to say things in an indirect way.

When a man likes a lady, he could do anything to get her, but that doesn’t mean he would win her over, and ladies when they are in this position when they don’t like a man tend to say things that have a deeper meaning.

9 things women say when they don’t really like you, when they don’t pick your calls and ignore your text messages.

1. I’M WITH SOMEONE ELSE

You might have done your research and found that she isn’t seeing anyone before going after her, but she would still give you the false answer that she’s in a relationship — that’s a favourite lie women say when they aren’t into you — they try to chase you off with that.

2. LET’S JUST BE FRIENDS

This is also another line that depicts they don’t really want to be with you. Which woman would refuse a relationship with the man of her dreams only to ask for friendship in return? Let’s just be friends is a subtle way of saying ‘I don’t want a relationship with you’.

3. I’M NOT READY FOR A RELATIONSHIP RIGHT NOW

If she sees someone she wants, she definitely would be ready for a relationship no matter what. But if she doesn’t thoroughly fancy you then she won’t be ready for a relationship.

4. YOU DESERVE SOMEONE BETTER

When a woman comes up with the ‘you are a good guy’ talk, ‘you deserve someone better’ then you should know that she isn’t cut out for a relationship with you. Who doesn’t want the best things in life? Then why leave it for someone else?

5. I’M JUST TOO BUSY

No one is too busy for someone they like, especially when they just met. No matter how busy you are, you still try to create time for the people you love, no matter how little it is. But when she doesn’t create any time for you and comes up with the busy talks then you should move on actually — the writing on the wall is so clear.

6. I WON’T BE AVAILABLE

This line is sister to the previously mentioned. When you ask a lady for a date or for you both to see and she says she won’t be available, there are two sides to it; if she says when she would be available then there is a little chance, but if she bluntly spells it out that she won’t be available then she is saying she’s permanently unavailable to you.

7. I DIDN’T SEE YOUR MISSED CALLS

This is probably the most annoying of all the lines. The mobile phone was designed in a way that if you have a missed call, you would have the notification on your screen. So what phone does she use that doesn’t have this basic function? Sorry bro, this line means ‘I don’t appreciate you calling me’ or ‘I don’t like you’ in simpler terms.

8. I DON’T SEE YOU THAT WAY

Over familiarity can sometimes spoil things for you. When she comes up with this line then it just means you have been friend zoned for a very long time and you would be the last thing on her mind now.

9. MAYBE SOME OTHER TIME

This is a deceptive answer; what’s wrong with this time? Why would she set a probable future date that would never come true? Ladies actually love it when men flock around them, it’s a boost to their ego, and you sir may just be one of those boosting her ego.

I’m definitely sure we’ve all been told at least one of these lines. I myself have been told a lot of lines.
