How To Know If a Guy is Wasting Your Time: Signs He Won't Commit
There’s a saying that goes, you can never recycle wasted time, and oh how true that is.
No one intends to get into a dead-end relationship. Most of us want that real, true, long-lasting love and our quest for it can sometimes lead us to stay in situations that are the opposite of what we want.
Why does it happen? Well, we get so caught up in the potential of what could be, rather than looking at what is.
You’re dating this guy and he just checks so many boxes. And you rarely experience this kind of chemistry so you would be foolish to let it slip away! Sure, he doesn’t seem to be on the same page as you, but maybe with just a little encouragement, you’ll be able to get him there.

Maybe once he sees how amazing you are … maybe if you can help him get over the ex who broke his heart … maybe if you can just wait it out a little longer … then he’ll step up and be who you want him to be.
I’ve deluded myself in this way many times and I’ve seen many others do it as well so I can tell you: this never turns out well!
Don’t let yourself be lured by what could be, look at the situation as it is right here, right now, and then decide what you’d like to do. To help you get there, these are the biggest signs you’re wasting your time with him and he isn’t going to commit to you:
The reasons don’t matter, the facts do. Most likely he means he doesn’t want to be in a relationship with you. It’s also possible he doesn’t want to be in a relationship with anyone right now. Maybe he wants to focus on his career, maybe he’s not emotionally ready to settle down, maybe he likes being single and free, it really doesn’t matter.
He may have some really great reasons, but again, it doesn’t change things. He probably also does have feelings for you. Again, it doesn’t change anything if he doesn’t want to be with you.

2.
He’s wishy-washyOne day he’s super into you, the next he’s cold and distant. You guys are attached at the hip one week, and then he disappears for days or weeks at a time.
Sometimes he seems like he’s in love with you, other times you feel like a nuisance to him. So what’s going on?
Wishy-washy behavior, or sending “mixed signals” is usually a sign of uncertainty. He’s just unsure of you.
He likes you, he’s attracted to you, he has fun with you, but he’s just not sure if he wants to be in a relationship with you.

3. He is still active on dating apps
He might be sneaky about this and tell you he deactivated his account … and you believe him until one of your friends comes across him while swiping …
Maybe he makes excuses and tells you, “Well, I never log in so what’s the big deal?”
Or maybe he’s honest with you and says yeah, he still uses his account because you guys aren’t official so he isn’t doing anything wrong.
Either way, if he’s active on dating apps it’s a sign that he hasn’t quite found what he’s looking for.
4. He openly flirts with other women in front of you
A lot of the times we say how we feel through actions more than words, this is especially true of men.
A man might not come out and tell you: “I don’t want to be in a serious relationship with you,” but he’ll show you he’s not serious through his actions. One way to get the point across loud and clear is to flirt with other women in front of you.
Now you might make the mistake of thinking he’s just trying to make you jealous because he likes you so much (at least, that’s a mistake, or rather a self-imposed delusion, that I’ve made in the past!) but what’s more likely is he’s showing and affirming that he is a free man who can do as he pleases.

5. He talks about the future … and you’re not in it
He might talk about how he wants to go live in Europe for a few years, or he wants to move away and change jobs or get out of the city and live a suburban life.
That’s all well and good, but he doesn’t seem to be factoring you into any of these plans, he doesn’t even ask for your opinion on city versus suburbs, he just tells you this is his plan and doesn’t really seem to care if you’re there for this imagined future or not.
6. The relationship is stagnant
You’ve been in the same spot for months or years. You’re not growing closer in any way, or he refuses to take the next step, whether it’s to be an “official” couple, to move in together, to get engaged, set a date, and so forth.
You just have no idea where this is going and when you try to talk to him about it he deflects or gives you vague answers.

7. He doesn’t share his true self with you
When a man is truly invested in a woman, he will share his true self with her. He will allow her to really see him, to see the man beneath the mask.
If your conversations are all surface level and he doesn’t really open up or show vulnerability, then he might not be truly invested in you.
At the same time, don’t mistake a guy who is all feelings and emotions and vulnerability with a guy who is serious about you. This can also sometimes be a sign of a guy wasting your time because this guy is a mess and just looking for a crutch to lean on while he gets himself together
8. You just know this isn’t how it’s supposed to be
You know that this isn’t what true love is supposed to feel like. You know something is off, you just don’t want to admit it because you don’t want to have to leave and start all over again with someone new. You’re already in this so you try to just make it work and figure it out even if that means wasting more of your precious time!
Inaccurate Signs He’s Wasting Your Time
1. He’s taking space
Sometimes men need space, it’s how they deal with stress and emotional turmoil. If your guy is backing away a bit and not as attentive, it doesn’t mean he’s wasting your time. He’s most likely dealing with something and he wants to work it through on his own so he can come back into the relationship better than ever.
2. He texts less often
At the beginning of a relationship, you’re on a high. You can’t stop thinking about the other person and want to talk to them all day every day. And in the beginning, you may engage in these marathon chat sessions. But this isn’t sustainable long term. People have jobs and school and lives! You can’t just be pinging back and forth all day long.
As things get more settled, he may not text as voraciously but that’s a good thing. First, it’s too much to do that all day! Next, it means he is settling back into a more normal rhythm because he’s getting more comfortable with you.

3. He says he can’t commit right now but….
… he plans on committing to you and he gives you a concrete timeline. Or he explains to you that he wants to wait until he’s more established at his job or until the busy season is over, and he means it. He doesn’t just keep coming up with one excuse after the next.
And not only that- he follows through. He doesn’t leave you in no man’s land. You know he’s committed to you. He doesn’t just tell you, he shows you (remember: men communicate through actions more than words).
What to Do If He’s Wasting Your Time
So you’ve read our roundup and have deduced that he is wasting your time and you’re in a dead-end relationship. What now?
Do you pull away and try to make him chase you? If he doesn’t reply to your text for an hour should you wait three hours before responding to him?
No and no. If a guy is wasting your time there is only one thing to do: leave.
That’s it. Don’t wait around. Don’t try to prove your worth. Don’t pretend to be something you think he wants.
Look, if you walk away and he lets you go, then at least you know it was never going to work out. Men don’t just let women they love walk away without a fight.
MORE: Why Won’t He Commit To You?
And if you leave and he comes after you, and not only that, he actually steps up and takes some next step, then great! You have a chance.
Just beware of guys who come after you and then don’t change and fall back into the same pattern. If he begs for you back and you give him another chance … but then he comes up with a whole new slew of excuses about why he can’t commit, then let it go for real. As they say, fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.

How to Never Waste Time Again
The antidote here is to have high self-worth. It’s to know what you want and know that you deserve to have it. If you want a commitment, don’t settle for the scraps some guy is willing to throw your way.
And don’t tell yourself that you should hold onto this because you’ll never find better. Or that this is better than being alone.
Being alone might be lonely at times, but being in the wrong relationship can be damaging – which would you choose?
You can get the love you want, you just need to be clear on what it is that you want and stop wasting time on what you don’t want.
If the guy you’re involved with checks multiple items on this list, then I’m sorry. I know it’s a bummer when something promising never comes to be but believe me when I say it’s for the best. Conversely, maybe this article made you realize that the guy you’re with is a keeper … however, you feel like you may be pushing him away.

Is He Wasting Your Time? (The Top 2 Red Flags to Watch For)
Ahhhh. So excited for you to see this video.
I talk a lot about letting go of the wrong person. But how do you know if someone is the wrong person? What are the red flags? How can you tell if someone is serious or just stringing you along so that you don’t waste your time?
This video solves that problem for you…

I think that every video I’ve ever done could be looked at not simply through the lens of dating and relationships but through the lens of time: The idea of not suffering for longer than we need to, not spending longer with the wrong person than we need to, not repeating the same mistakes that are costly in terms of time. In fact, one of the main questions I get from people is, “How do I read someone’s intentions? How do I know if they’re just stringing me along? How do I know if this person is wasting my time?”
I recently posted something across all of my social media saying, “If you want to know someone’s intentions, watch their actions, not their words, because actions have a far harder time lying.
” Now, someone replied challenging this principle and their reply is worth noting. “Okay… flip that. What if he’s telling you that he doesn’t want a relationship with you but won’t stop calling, texting, wanting to spend time with you, sleeping with you, making future plans with you, sharing hopes/dreams/fears/troubles? Which do you believe?”
I thought this was a great point because it suggests that the literal inverse of what I said is true, in that case. That if you were to watch that person’s actions, you would continue to invest more and more and more because their actions would be saying the right thing, even though their words are saying the wrong thing.
So based on this comment, I want to add an addendum to this principle of paying more attention to someone’s actions than their words.
If you want to know someone’s intentions: Watch their actions, not their words… Unless what they’re telling you is difficult for them to say.
When we’re trying to make any kind of a sale in life, we want to say all of the things that are going to help us make that sale.
If, in the course of that sales presentation, someone tells you something undesirable, unwelcome, something that could cost them the sale, what they’re saying in that moment should be given particular attention.
In that case, we shouldn’t be blindly looking at their actions and what they invest in us. We should be paying attention to the small print. I think of it like a pharmaceutical ad. When someone is trying to sell you on a pill, that’s going to take away some pain or ailment that you have, and it shows you this bright meadow and happy people, and after all of that powerful, emotional, good feeling, it reads you as quickly as possible the small print of how this drug is going to make you want to kill yourself.
Ask your doctor today about Kevorka. Side effects may include making you want to kill yourself.
I think of what someone’s selling you when they tell you they don’t want a relationship as being like that. It’s like a commercial for a relationship where someone is walking you through the scenes.
“Here’s us going to a movie. Here’s us in a park having a picnic. Here’s a moment where I confide you with something vulnerable, and aren’t we connected in this moment?” Then after all of these relationship-esque scenes that make you feel so invested comes the small print where someone says:
Warning! This romance comes without a title. We’ll never call you girlfriend, just not ready for a relationship and not looking for anything serious right now.
That’s the small print. Because when somebody is telling you, “I don’t want anything serious,” amidst doing all of the right things, or they’re telling you, “I don’t want a relationship,” even though they’re behaving as if you’re already in a relationship, what they’re saying requires effort to say. It may sabotage the very attention they are trying to get. That means it was inconvenient for them to say. And if it was inconvenient for them to say, if it was something that could cost them the sale, then it’s something that should be given extra attention, over and above their actions.

11 tips on how to learn not to waste time
"Each person must educate himself," said Turgenev's Bazarov. I will tell you about the experience of self-education with the help of time management techniques, which, as expressed in non-scientific popular programs, changed my life.
Of course, they did not change immediately, and the point is not in these methods themselves, but probably in the maturation of the frontal lobes of the brain or something like that.
But the fact is that time management played one of the main roles in this process. I was 15 and I had a lot of things to do. There was nothing special in my school then, but they taught something there. It was difficult for me to study, and I did not like to do it.
I was unable to get carried away with either physics, or chemistry, or mathematics, or biology. We had no luck with Russian and literature teachers for a long time, they gave boring and formal assignments. At the same time, they taught us excellent English, but using an extensive method, they made us memorize large amounts of text every day. At school, I was bored and often skipped her. It was difficult for me to sit through the lessons, I did not know how to perceive information by ear, and in order to understand something, I had to read textbooks (which I also could not do, because they are boring).
I liked to chat for hours (at night) on the phone with my friend, walk around St. Petersburg, watch the news on all channels (I was very fond of politics and even tried to join liberal parties - it was in 1998) and .
.. write novels about which I knew very well that no one would read them. The novels were something like fanfiction on medieval historical descriptions: the struggle of cities with each other, intrigues, executions, love scenes. In addition, I had an extremely uneven energy flow.
I didn’t want to get up at all, and I was ready to lie on the sofa for days, weeks, then I tried, like that dish on the Strugatskys’ spider legs, to run in all four directions at once. As for my parents, they were just angels: they worked hard and loved each other and me very much, and they had neither the time nor the desire to drag me somewhere or correct me.
It was with such input data that I came to the tenth grade and then began to suspect that something was wrong, that I was spending quite a lot of time completely mediocre, falling behind more and more and not having time, but you have to decide something and about future. I wanted to somehow participate in life, to be in its midst, to understand what was happening in the world.
I decided to enter the Faculty of Economics of St. Petersburg State University. But I didn’t know how to study, and it wasn’t realistic to enter the university with eight triples.
This is where time management comes in.
1. The goal should NOT be set
Looking back at that time, I can say with confidence that I did not set myself the goal of “entering the University”. Although she meant that, in principle, she should do it. The real goal of preparing for the exams came to me around March of my senior year. It was then that I, having classically distributed the tickets by day, began to prepare for them. Before that, my main goal was ... to free myself. Get legitimate free time to chat, party, and write novels—and not feel like you're constantly underachieving. I had very good helpers - parents who didn’t put pressure on me at all, didn’t get on my nerves and didn’t set goals. They intervened only at my request (for example, they paid me a tutor in mathematics; by the way, at the age of 14-15 I myself, not without success, acted as an English tutor, but my services were cheaper).
2. Work or leisure - no middle ground
My first discovery at that time: curtail or limit those activities that can eat up an unlimited amount of time. Forty minutes of chatting with a friend is no worse than three and a half hours. A sleepless night is a dull day. A few hours of Doom-2 do not bring happiness. Intrinsic motivation helped me: I did not like this feeling of absolutely thrown away, lost time after the "spree" (whatever they were). If after some business there is a feeling of complete emptiness, this business is either not worth starting at all, or it needs to be severely limited. This business is not work, and not rest, which means, well, it.

What else was eating up my time? Things I didn't know how to do. For example, I could struggle with chemistry or physics for several hours, but I couldn’t understand or solve anything. As a result, time was wasted. I decided that since it’s impossible to do everything, I’ll just drop some things or leave them at a very low level.
It’s quite easy to make a three out of two — it’s enough to show at least a minimum of goodwill
At the same time, by the way, it becomes clear what is hopeless and what is not. So, I discovered that with some effort I can master mathematics. Here I had to look for help. I started going to a tutor and, in the end, fell in love with her and began to get fours and fives. But I thought I was completely stupid. It was important to "scatter" subjects and activities into those that you should not do at all, and those that are still worth spending time on.
As for history, literature, economics and language, I already loved them and was ready to study on my own. All that was needed was a great deal of consistency.
4. Difficulties - in small pieces
I started setting an alarm for 15, 20, 30 minutes. It was exactly that piece of time during which I did not have time to distract myself from the English text or from the essay and physically or mentally jump somewhere.
In general, I am very hurried and like to rush, so little artificial rushes always help me: “I’ll strain myself now, I’ll do it quickly and - cheers.” At the same time, the quality does not suffer or almost does not suffer. I think that such a tool is not suitable for everyone: the ticking of the clock simply drives many into a stupor. But perhaps this approach can also cure someone of excessive perfectionism.
5. Don't sit at the table (and don't lie down on the couch)
A hyperactive teenager like me needs a different learning environment. He has long and firmly associated the table with mess, coercion (or self-coercion), dullness and procrastination. When you understand that you really need to learn something, and not just pretend and deceive yourself or someone else, then it turns out that many things are best learned in motion, for example, walking around the room or running in the park . And in general, the ways of introducing information into oneself must be diversified.
A blackboard and a marker, a computer, large sheets that you lay out on the floor, tiny cheat sheets that you write in beaded handwriting. Now there's a whole lot more, starting with audiobooks.
6. What are called “mind maps”
Not really, of course. It's just that it is at 14-16 years old that the ability to arrange information on a sheet of paper (or in general - in space) is formed. Any information. Arrange and eat. Blocks, arrows, abbreviations, points and questions, one follows from the other, some things happen at the same time. And history, and biology, and literature are easily schematized, folded, and then rolled out of this folded state. Gradually, this turns into a kind of sport (“schematize everything!”), And how it helps at a university - there are simply no words.
7. Schedule? Nope
I tried. There was no sense from this. The internal impulses to do this or that were stronger than the pleasure of keeping to the schedule.
Another trick helped me: to know how much time I have today, and to figure out what things I can do and what little result I can achieve. You write the list in large paragraphs on the same board, and then put pluses in front of what you have done. And for a very long time I was mistaken, overestimating my strength.
I could write down eight tasks for two hours. Gradually, I began to estimate time better and was even able to plan things two or three days in advance. This horizon remained my limit for a very long time, only after 20 years I was able to move on to at least some kind of planning for the week ahead (and still not very successful). The important thing is that I always planned not only the necessary, but also the pleasant! After all, it also takes time.
8. Freedom
I lacked freedom. At the end of the tenth grade, I voluntarily transferred from my school to the Anichkov Lyceum. There I began to study much more. Studying in Anichkovo is built more freely than in a regular school: lessons start later, last longer (like couples in an institute), there are no bells, fewer compulsory subjects and more electives.
In my time, there was no mandatory attendance there, and teachers were not scolded or shamed for triples and deuces - because it was clear that it was impossible and unnecessary to be an excellent student here and know all the subjects at a high level. In general, the regime and regulations are not the best friends of time management. Of course, you can adapt to the regime, but for many it is not a help, but an additional difficulty.
9. Consider yourself very smart and act like a smart guy
In the Anichkov Lyceum, I finally stopped considering myself a two and three student and imagined myself, on the contrary, very smart. So I started doing what, in my opinion, smart people should do. I outlined NTV news releases, creating my own agenda, translated Shakespeare and even Polish poets (analyzing every line with a dictionary, because I didn’t even know the basics of grammar), drew up alternative budgets of the Russian Federation for the next year and created a draft of a new single tax.
All this not only entertained me and flattered my opinion of myself, but later turned out to be very useful. Was it "preparation for university" or "study"? Not! Pure pleasure, a hybrid of pleasant and useful.
10. Notebook
There were no diaries in the Anichkov Lyceum, and I got myself a notebook, arranged according to the same principle as the school diary. I still keep such notebooks: on one side - Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, on the other - Thursday, Friday and Saturday-Sunday. I write there all the cases in a row, in a list: both work, and personal, and children. I didn't have any other planning tools.
Photo: istockphoto.com11. Experiments with one's own will
Fifteen years is the best time to experiment with your volitional and emotional self-regulation. Here, for example, is the familiar state of apathy, when you are “just nothing”, you have no strength and you don’t want anything. I used to have it often when I was a teenager.
It was in this state that I made it a rule to ask myself in detail, in detail, like Schwartz’s Baba Yaga:
“What do you want, darling? Seagull or water? From a well or from a swamp?” It often turns out that you just want to ... sleep
And you feel much better after sleeping. Then I want tea. Then write a poem. And then you can already - just a little bit! - to work. What is absolutely impossible in such a state is the things from point two (time wasters). Apathy will only intensify, and the sense of the meaninglessness of everything will reach its climax.
So, gradually discovering all these quite banal things for myself, I not only became more and more organized, but more and more conformed to myself, learned to manage myself. Let not dominate - I am still far from that now - but at least independently determine what I want to do today or this weekend, and not go with the flow, not follow too obediently an external schedule and at the same time not rush there - here on the first impulse.
As a result, I entered the University of Economics - I barely went there, with a creak and with all my strength, and even graduated from it, working at the same time from the first year. When I was 18, my first novel was printed in 200 copies, and when I was 20, my third novel was printed in 5,000 copies and already in a large good publishing house. Now I am 32, I have a lot of printed books, I don’t deal with economics at all, but I am proud that, being a creative person by nature, I nevertheless always turn in my work on time.

160 - 150 points.
This employee may be nominated for the Nobel Prize for Mathematics. He has everything accurately calculated and everything is taken into account: how much time it will take to provide the service, and to present the home line, and to clean the workplace in front of a new client ... The rest is at least, really take a break and gain strength. Downtime is excluded. But, even if they happen (for example, the client did not come and it became known at the last moment), be sure: this specialist will find something to do with himself.
There are two reasons for such behavior: firstly, this person not only understands, but feels with his skin the truth “time is money”; secondly, he is simply collected and punctual by nature. Doesn't like to waste a minute. Very important: when others waste their time, they are often irritated. Therefore, you will act very wisely if you involve him in any calculations of working hours, both for himself and for colleagues. Most likely, this is an experienced professional or just a talent…
149- 140 points.
Employee can count minutes. Almost always punctual to the point of pedantry. I have long been convinced from my own experience that all calculations are approximate, life can always make its own adjustments to them, therefore it usually leaves itself a “reserve” of time. There is no need to scold him for this: the “reserve” is necessary in order to serve the client qualitatively and slowly in any situation and at the same time not make him wait for the next one. After all, this master first of all follows the proverb “You go slower, you will continue”, which he translates as “take your time, serving the client, it will work out better.”
If he considers time with caution, then money is very good. Therefore, unnecessary downtime tries to avoid. Do not forget to involve this employee in those time calculations that concern him. But it is better not to ask him for advice about other specialists. Most likely, he himself will not want to give them.
139 - 120 points.
You also need to be able to hurry. This employee tries to do everything in time, to serve more customers, and with high quality! Also, chat with them! And take a breather! And even do something for himself during working hours, for example, run between two clients to the store next door ... The most amazing thing is that very often he succeeds “as it should”, only ... at the last minute. Over time, it is always “cramped”, hence the constant haste and a little confusion in work (especially with a lack of experience). Most often, this is not even noticeable, but from time to time either the master is late for the service (very little, but late), or the new client has to wait until the old one is released (also very little). Or the master is in a hurry during the provision of the service. However, most likely, this person will not dare to serve poorly, but he will save time on attention to the client (communication) and advertising other services and the home line. Incorrect timing can cause .
.. downtime for this wizard. Although this happens infrequently.
Advice: Ask him not to fuss, to work calmly and steadily. Please help me calculate the time. Moreover, beginners often suffer from the shortcomings described above. Attention! Or too "creative" nature. And they don't like being taught.
119 - 90 points. Almost the same employee as the one who received 139 - 120 points, only he very rarely succeeds in doing everything. Result: constant uncontrollable haste and confusion. Constant lack of time. Constant rush. Frequent delays and delays. And at the same time, significant downtime is possible. It can save time even at the expense of the quality of the services provided, which is completely unacceptable.
Ask them to reconsider their attitude to working time, not to be distracted for anything by extraneous matters, to concentrate and think only about work. Help to calculate the time. Control your consumption! By the way, this master does not need to finish his studies? This often happens with those who are not yet confident in their abilities as a specialist.
In this case, you will most likely be grateful for any help. The worst option: a person just works carelessly, at work he is busy with his own affairs. Then be stricter. This employee is quite capable of understanding and considering everything.
89 - 60 points. This employee urgently needs to learn how to count both time and money. He loses both. Why? Does he need money? He either spends too much time and has a lot of downtime, or works in emergency mode. If in the first case, customers are not yet suffering, then in the second they may not like to feel like refrigerators assembled on an assembly line. Still, they go to a beauty salon not only for the result, but also for pleasant sensations. The employee needs to urgently change, although people of this type rarely want this and rarely agree to help, rather they change jobs.
59 points or less. Most likely, this person is almost never involved in calculating working hours. He doesn't need it and doesn't care.
