Fact: It’s hard to know what men are thinking, especially when it comes to relationships (we’re sure they’d say the same about us, but c’est la vie). And because men are from Mars and women are from Venus (apparently), we may interpret things the wrong way. But actions speak louder than words, so look out for these five signs to know if your dashing date is only interested in you on a physical level.

He Only Comments On Your Looks

He’s constantly going on about how hot you look, but while it’s nice when a man notices the fit and finish of your lingerie, it’s not right if that’s the only thing he seems to care about.  A man who’s seriously into you will also tell you how much they enjoy your sense of humour or your generous nature, for example.

He Never Takes You on Dates

So you never actually go out for dinner or even a cup of coffee, as the only time you meet him is at his place or yours. This shows he’s ‘booty call’ material as his only interest in you revolves around doing the deed. If you want more than a quick tumble between the sheets, this is the time to let go.

He Only Talks About Sex

Everything he says is filled with sexual innuendo; if you didn’t actually know him, you’d find him really creepy. For instance, conversations with him turn sexual at the drop of a hat, so it’s almost impossible to talk about anything without it devolving into… well, you know.

You’ve Never Met His Friends

He might have mentioned them to you in passing, but he’s never actually introduced you to any of his pals. He’s also secretive about any personal information and, apart from the address of his bachelor pad, you have no idea who he hangs out with, what they do together or what his family is like.

He Never Asks Questions

He doesn’t bother to take the time to find out how your day went or how your parents’ anniversary party turned out (if he’s even registered that in the first place). We’ll give it to you straight: This is because he has no emotional connection and isn’t looking for one. That’s a clear sign his interest in you is purely physical, so cut him out of your life if you want more than that from a man.
