What are the signs a crush is/isn't reciprocated?

Hi everyone
What are the signs a crush is/isn't reciprocated? Could anyone tell me any signs that they have seen in real life or through messaging that the other person does not reciprocate your feelings towards them.

Not interested in keeping the conversations going
Not wanting to find out about you or your life
Not telling you anything about their own life
No flirting

Lack of contact. No kisses at the end of a text. Skirting over compliments and not giving any back to you. Cancelling plans. Come on you must know all this OP. If you feel he isn't into you - he isn't. A man will move heaven and earth to see you if he wants to. Also there is no such thing as commitment phobic. Everyone will commit to the right person. Even Clooney did eventually! As for Leonardo... time will tell :-)

Sorry posted to soon,

If they are interested you'll most likely know, they'll be keen to talk to you as much as they can, they'll be asking a lot of questions about you and your life, they'll be lots of flirting. They'll want you know about important things that happen to them

Take a long time to reply to messages / don’t reply (although I am someone who takes a while to respond as I mute my texts).
When they do respond, they don’t try and advance the convo/ ask open questions back.
Don’t actively seek to make plans in advance/ try and see you.
They are very happy to remain on apps/ date/ talk to / text with other people (especially as dating advances).
If they don’t try and advance it/ see you etc (especially men), don’t make excuses for it, they’re just not into you. (I have seen men time and again mess women around until they meet that special one, at which point they stop messing about).

Oh and if all they send is random photos/ gifs etc that’s not meaningful contact. Not early on. I think it’s something they do to groups of women to keep some form of engagement without needing to make any meaningful effort. On the surface it looks good, but takes zero emotional bandwidth.

For interactions in person my experience has been where they are insistent they don't want a relationship, they will drop this into every conversation. They might be happy to flirt a bit for the ego boost but won't want to take it any further. They wont initiate meeting up and maybe very vague about their life, polite conversation at most, without any interest in what's going on with you.

“If you feel he isn't into you - he isn't. A man will move heaven and earth to see you if he wants to.”

This, OP. It’s always disappointing when a man you like just isn’t that into you, but you’ll get over it, OP. The right man will be into you.
