Are you misreading the signals? We asked e.tv stars to give us advice on the ins and outs of dating.
This Thursday, 14 March, we flight American rom-com He’s Just Not That Into You– an adaptation of Liz Tuccillo and Greg Behrendt’s best-seller of the same name. Boasting a stellar cast that includes big Hollywood names such as Ben Affleck, Jennifer Aniston, Drew Barrymore and Scarlett Johansson, the film follows the stories of nine people in Baltimore who have to deal with complex relationships. At the heart of the story is a young woman called Gigi (Ginnifer Goodwin) who constantly misreads signals she gets from the men she’s dating.
We asked e.tv stars to give us advice on the ins and outs of dating, and when to know that your lover is just not that into you.
Here’s what they said:
1. “If he never makes time for you and if it feels like you’re always having conversations by yourself whether its texting or calls, then you’re not hallucinating. He’s just not that into you.” Dineo Ranaka, Club 808 presenter.
2. “When you are trying to flirt with him but he keeps asking you questions about your best friend.” Tebogo Khalo, Puleng on Rhythm City.
3. “When every time I enter a room, she leaves.” Sdumo Mtshali, Maidi on Rhythm City.
4. “When he keeps sending you pictures of himself and his girlfriend so that you can see how happy he is with her.”Amo Chidi, Reneilwe on Rhythm City.
5. “I would say that a guy is just not into you if he doesn't make a concerted effort to see you and get to know you.” Kriya Gangiah, Sistahoodand Craz-e World Live presenter.
6. “When she just straight up rejects you. I had this incident in school where I really liked this girl but I was too afraid to approach her. So my friend offered to help me out, by approaching her and telling her how much I really liked her. She said “hell no!”, and shortly after that she started dating my friend instead!” Nat Ramabulana, William on Rhythm City.
7. “When you are trying to have a normal conversation with this guy, but he doesn’t really say much and you feel like you need to force conversation. He acts kind of stand-offish.”Itumeleng Bokaba, Mampho on Rhythm City.
8. "If he talks about his ex on the first date he's just not into you at all! If he's a grown man wearing skinny jeans on a date he's just not that into you. Boys know how to use a phone, if he doesn't call, doesn't text, he's just not that into you."Masasa Mbangeni, Thembeka on Scandal!
