What I want to know is why are people adding things that isn't there? Are people that sell fish that they got to not only assume but they are still bitter they have to equate what another person is saying to oh well if you don't want me then goodbye? I think people who think like this got serious issues and need to just stay single or not have friends at all.
A person just said they don't think they can give you what you need right now. What does not being interested is anywhere in that sentence? The person says they don't think they can give you what is anywhere in that sentence? The person says they don't think they can give you what you need. What you need may not all the time be what you want. But as long as the individual is honest that is not much you can do at the moment. The key word here is not right now. What does not right now mean? I think even kindergartners will understand this it's sad that grown adults don't. People who think like this are going to make others miserable besides themselves. It is best for the individual who thinks that the other person is not interested seek Professional Therapy and counseling. There is nothing that equals not being interested with they don't think they can give you what you need right now. That means they may consider dating you in the future if things turn out good in between time. The most you can do is be friends and take the time to really get to know each other a bit better before pursuing something serious it is not wise to rush into a relationship you know nothing about. That way you can find out if you're compatible for a relationship or not. This isn't the time to fool around. If you say you want a relationship then you need to take this time to actually be serious and get to know each other better. Otherwise you going to be dating an individual you are not compatible with begin with and then you're going to have all this baggage you got to deal with. You decide as the person whether or not you are the one is going to be interested in waiting for this person. Better to admit that you're selfish and you want what you want then to try to blame the other individual for the inadequacies you feel within yourself damn it if you are that insecure walk away. Don't make the other person feel any more pain than you're already bringing yourself. If you need help in clarifying something ask the individual are they saying they are not interested. When you come off that way you're only making yourself suffer. That is not proper communication. My fair warning to anybody who thinks this way just because you're insecure. Be honest with self! What you do now is reflection of what you going to be in the future if you date. Seriously reevaluate if this is something you should be pursuing. Otherwise is not going to be a healthy one. If somebody assume just of me and trust me when I say this is why I have a lot of trust issues especially with men because they assume the same way as this question, I'm leaving. I am not going to get hurt or stick around with an individual who's trying to force me into something I am not ready or prepared for. It's not fair on me, but I rather not hurt the individual if I know I can't provide them what they need. Why lie to a person just to fulfill my own needs? I think people like that really need to not date if that's how they going to think. Otherwise they are just going to attract other selfish people who are just as bad as they are.
If there's one thing I've learned about guys: most of them are fairly straightforward in what they say. Most, not all; there's always exceptions obviously.
With that being said, I think he was politely rejecting you. He said, "I don’t think I can give you what you need right now."
Translation: he doesn't like you the same way you like him. So it would be better if you found another guy that DOES want you.
There you go.
And yes, there's a slight chance he might have a deeper meaning to it. The only way to know is to ask him, "What don't you think you can offer me? I like you just the way you are."
He will either give you a more detailed explanation, or beat around the bush. If it's the latter, he is in fact, not interested.
I believe this is genuine. I think if someone days they can not give you what you need it most likely means that they are respectfully saying they probably see things differently and most likely have a different view on what they want romantically then what you want. I would say its a more respectful response then directly saying "I am not interested" because you tell the person precisely why you are not interested in them so that way they are not wondering about why specifically you aren't interested. I think this is a better response in my opinion since it gives the other person more clarity about why the person is not interested and then the person can expand on why they can not give what the other person needs such as "my mind is in a million places most likely like yours so I don't want to end up being a person that is not the true me" or perhaps "I can't give you what you need because you said you need emotional support and that would personally be too much stress for me to try and maintain after long days of work with all due respect since I would prefer to release feelings and then support you after the feelings are released instead of constantly listening to your problems and then trying to make you happy instead of focusing on how to make each other both happy even if we are not happy towards each other."
No one can tell you the truth. You do not know and neither do any of these comments. A lot of people like to use their intellectual minds to create generalizations without any or very little evidence to back those generalizations up. Only the guy knows. You have to ask him. Why does he not believe he is ready? That is a question you need to ask him and it might help both of you in multiple ways. Please do not sit here and take anyone's advice. Stop asking us and communicate with this guy. Honestly most of these people on here, if you knew knew them, you would not ask them for advice. So be very careful letting their thoughts into your mind. Now I believe I've given you the most sound advice that is not bias and that allows you to get straight to the REAL truth. HIS truth. And at the end of it all realize not everything is about YOU.

In general I would say yes. It is a little bit more complicated than that. Most likely it means I think you are attractive enough to have sex with but I don't want to be in a romantic relationship with you. So in that situation either accept friends with benefits or cut things off.
Exactly they are not interested and they always put the icing on the cake by saying they need to flee the country for 6 months so they look important or mysterious. That is usually a lie too.
Not enough context to properly answer, but in truth it sounds like
A) He might not be interested in you. This line sounds like a classy way to say that without trying to sound malicious.
B) He's going through a rough patch in life and genuinely means what he says.
Communication is key here. If he explained his reasoning, chances are he's telling the truth. If I said this to a women I like, no doubt I would tell her why in hopes to preserve the relationship. If he was shady about his reasoning then its best to move on.
I’ve been told this before and no it doesn’t necessarily mean he’s not interested in you, it means this person feels they are not “capable” of giving to you what it is you want and deserve right now, maybe he’s in a bad head space and needs time to figure shit out, sometimes they feel they aren’t deserving of you rn, and sometimes they feel like they are not ready to put forth the effort it takes to have a relationship rn. And that’s okay, I’m going through that rn tbh so don’t think that it necessarily means he’s not interested in you because usually that’s not the case at all, it’s him not you. If he wasn’t interested in you he would more than likely just say that tbh.
People change with time, as well as their needs. In the beginning of a relationship, people mainly see only what they want.
Then things settle down, and one or both parties realize they aren't ready for what the other person wants.
Of course there are those that just swoop in for the booty, then say that after it slows down or they get what they want.
I do agree with spade on this matter. The only person that can give you the truth is him. Now he's said he can't give you what you want. That to me is an answer.
If you're dissatisfied with that, you can ask him or chose to accept this as whatever this means for you both.
If you're looking for clarity as to whether you remain friends, f buddies or strangers. You will get that answer if you contact him.
(either he answers or ignores)
But deep down you have to decided what the possibilities are and what they mean to you first.
Meaning "do I want us to be x, y or z?"
That sounds to me like recognizing that the two of you had different, probably incompatible goals in life going forward and it would be best to try to address that or else break up. I wouldn't necessarily say it has to to with "interest" so much as pragmatism.
Going off your original wording, that is.
see this is the problem with women"THEY READ WAY INTO THING'S" guy's are very simple were not confusing like women if he said i can't give you what you want right now means there's a reason and he dont want to tell you cause maybe he is embarrassed women who read more into things causes a lot more problems arguments then there has to be
It is what it is! Nothing more nothing less. Basically that's all. There isn't anything more he can give or make happen. That's it. It is what it is.
He's a guy, so he really believes what you need is his dick. Like here thinks that's why you're going through a hard time because he hasn't had sex with you. He thinks your life will instantly become like a fairy tale as soon as he does.
Guys are dumb, believe me.
He is saying he isn't in to u rn, most men are not as deep so id say he is on his way out , but wants a side because he knows u like him he may keep u interested and make u think its what u want. Like the song... players only love you when they playing🤷♀️
It could be used as a means by which to lower your expectations, so that he can have things on his terms.
It completely depends on what the girl is asking for. It's definitely not "always" equal to that because sometimes people demand insane shit in relationships and it might literally be impossible for someone to deliver on the demands.
He could be genuine. That's totally dependent on the person. Also the context... When a guy tells you whatever, believe him. As everything is quite literal with guys. I'd take his word for it.
I have said this to women and I genuinely meant it. I am currently studying and don’t have much money or time. Like it or not women want money and time. Not in a bad way but they do , take man as a provider. I have learnt in a hard way that if you can’t provide (in terms of looks or money ) , she will find another person. So unless I am stable , dating will be worthless.
Generally, this is simply a nice excuse people use.
But we don't know the context, so we can't tell for sure.
Anyway, if he told you that, move on and stop thinking about his reasons. He can't give you what you want.
Sounds more like he doesn't have the money to happily keep and entertain a girlfriend.
I just say stuff like that if Im not interested in anything serious but she in fact is, because I dont want to toy with her feelings just to get her into bed
Best is not to lose sleepless nights over it
Believe what he said and move on, find someone who is ready to give you what you need now
Note: we all think that we will be the one changing him. You won't my dear, it's harsh but true
the Pancake flipped over finally.
