One of the biggest signs your boyfriend is no longer interested in you is that you are worried he has lost interest. You may be picking up the signs he wants out without consciously doing so. However, the signs are not mysterious once you know what to look for. Here are ten signs your boyfriend is no longer interested in you.
    
    1) He starts cheating on you or flirts with other women in front of you. Not all men do this, but it is a huge sign his heart is not in the relationship.

    
    2) He suddenly discovers his inner workaholic. If you never see him anymore because he is always at work, he could be avoiding you. Even if he is not staying away consciously, his actions speak volumes.
    
    3) He stops calling or texting you. He may even be annoyed when you call him, and call you needy or clingy.
    
    4) He becomes moody or distracted. Both emotions can be a sign he is hiding something from you, either his loss of interest or something worse like cheating.
    
    5) His friends are uncomfortable around you because he has confided in them. They may want to tell you, but they do not want to betray his confidence. Although you may have more luck getting the truth from them, the truth may well be that he is planning to dump you.
    
    6) He becomes critical of you. When he starts to find your flaws annoying instead of cute, you can bet something bigger is bothering him.
    
    7) He does not want to kiss, hold hands, etc. This is another case of him not being able to hide his true feelings. He cannot tell you he does not want you to your face, but he can tell you by not showing affection.
    
    8) He picks petty fights with you all the time. Some guys try to make you dump them by being intolerable. They are trying to be kind, but in the end your feelings will be hurt anyway.
    
    9) He makes dumb excuses not to spend time with you and not to go to social engagements. He might spend all his free time with his friends and distance himself from your family, if he is close to them. He may just say he needs space or alone time. Some guys just like to be alone, but if his antisocial behavior is a major change, it is a bad sign.
    
    10) He stops including you in his future plans. This can be pretty subtle, but you may notice he will stop saying things like, “We should take a trip to Europe someday,” and instead say, “I want to take a trip to Europe someday.” This is a big clue he has stopped picturing himself with you and wants to end the relationship.

    There might be other reasons for any one of these behaviors, but if your boyfriend is doing several or all of these things, proceed carefully. Your relationship is in trouble.
