01
‘I Really Want To Focus On My Career’
This guy’s favorite excuse is that their job and career ambitions are all-consuming and therefore they just can’t balance having a “distraction” like a relationship happening at the same time. Translation: He values success more than being in a relationship. Period.

‘Let’s Just Enjoy What We Have’
When a guy wants to have his cake and eat it too, this just might be his go-to line. Having fun essentially means he wants to reap the benefits of a relationship–sex included–with no strings attached. Translation: You really don’t want the same things.

‘I Like Things Just The Way They Are’
This could mean that you are both comfortable and have settled into a routine or “situationship” that doesn’t require a promise for a future. Liking how things are at the moment could be guy code for “this is as good as it gets.” Translation: He doesn’t want to push or grow with you.

“The Timing Isn’t Right”
Blaming bad timing seriously oversimplifies and underestimates the power of finding balance between a good, healthy and loving relationship and your career or lifestyle. If he isn’t ready to invest, you shouldn’t be either. Translation: He doesn’t know how to make room in his life for anything serious.
