He’s too busy or so he says: what a guy really means when he says I’m too busy for a relationship

What is a guy really saying when he says he’s too busy for a relationship? You may be in love with a boy. You may even have a few dates with him, but you’re not “official” yet. But when you approach him to commit to a relationship, he tells you that he is too busy. What is he really trying to say?

Being too busy is usually not a good sign, so let’s look at 3 possible reasons you might be running.

Truth be told, it just ain’t digging you

A man may say that he is too busy for a relationship because he doesn’t like you that much. He may have been attracted to you at first, but after a couple of dates he may not feel it.

He may have his eyes on someone else or, after getting to know you better, he may have realized that the two of you are not really compatible. He may enjoy spending time with you, but he may not feel a physical, sexual, or romantic attraction to you.

When he realizes that he’s already spending time with you up to the waist, it’s easier to say, “I’m too busy for a relationship” than to say, “You know, I’m not that attracted to you.”

What it says is what it means

On rare occasions, being too busy can mean that you are really too busy. Men are driven by success and he may have goals and dreams that he is working towards. A relationship may not be your top priority right now.

If you know that he is an extremely busy person with a lot at stake, then it may feel like a relationship would be too difficult to handle right now. It wouldn’t be fair to him and it wouldn’t be fair to you if you couldn’t make time for each other.

If you think this is the case, be patient and don’t try to pressure him to do anything. Support him and he will love you for it.

Loves being single

For many men in their teens and twenties, a relationship symbolizes a lot of unnecessary hassle. Their mentality can be characterized by phrases such as:

  • “Why date one woman when you can date everyone?”
  • “Marriage is not even in my vocabulary yet, so why should I tie someone up?”
  • “I love being single and living the single lifestyle. It’s total freedom!”

In most cases, when a man says that he is too busy, it means that he is not that interested in you. When a man is genuinely attracted to and in love with a woman, he will do anything to spend time with her, especially early in the relationship during the “honeymoon phase.” Don’t waste precious time waiting for a man who won’t give you time.
