He
does not spend time with you
He does not want to be
in the same room
He does not want to
have meals with you
He is always tired
He picks silly fights
and complains about small things
He makes you wait. Time is an important
non-verbal communicator. If he keeps you waiting, it's a sign his interest is
waning and a sign of disrespect. This is true for dates as well. If he starts
waiting until the very last minute to make date plans with you, it's likely
he's lost interest, or he's hoping something better will come along and he's
using you as a back-up.
He declines sex and intimacy. There is a
dramatic change in sexual behavior. This
can mean two things: (1) He wants to avoid any situation where he might have to
express emotion or attachment to you, or (2) He's getting it somewhere else.
Here are some specific nonverbal behaviors.
Feet Behavior
He points his feet away from you. The feet are
the most honest portion of the body. Look
at your sweetie's feet when you are out with other people. If they are pointed
at you, great. If they're pointed at someone else, your partner may be looking
to walk.
Eye Behavior
1. Avoids making eye contact with you despite the fact that you are looking directly at him.
2. He knows that you are looking at him instead tries to make eye contact with someone else, look at the ceiling or to another point in the room.
3. Stares at you with dead eyes and the corners of his mouth turned downward with compressed lips.

at you with a sneer - the corners of his mouth twisted and his nose wrinkled.
5. Turns his head and looks away while you are speaking.

6. Shakes
his head, rolls eyes or yawns.
Body Behavior
1. Thrusts one or both hands into the pockets of his pants when talking to you.
2. Places his arms and hands against the chest and inserted the hands through the gaps made near the armpits.
3. Whether he’s sitting or standing, he keeps his legs closed tightly together or very far apart.
4. Leans back in his chair positioning himself at a distance from you.
5. He does not mirror you and or you notice you’re mirroring his
negative body language. People mirror each other's body language when they are
in love with similar gestures, voice volume, etc. If you're noticing the two of
you are out of sync, you probably are. That's not all.
6. He closes his body windows. When a sweetie is unhappy they
will display a lack of open "windows" towards you.
"Windows" being his heart, eyes, neck and palms. If your man turns
his heart (the center of his chest) away from you as you are talking to each
other.
