Dear men, 6 signs that you are wasting your time on a lady

Every man wants to love a woman who values his effort, time, and energy. But sometimes, no matter how hard you try, the lady you’re chasing just isn’t serious about you. Instead of forcing things, it’s better to read the signs early. Here are six clear signs that you might be wasting your time on a lady.

1. She Hardly Makes Time for You

When a woman truly likes you, she’ll always find a little time to talk, text, or see you — no matter how busy she is. If she’s always “too busy,” cancelling plans, or taking days to reply, she’s not as interested as you think. Don’t make excuses for her; people make time for who they value.

2. She Only Calls When She Needs Something

If she only calls when she’s broke, needs a favour, or wants attention, but disappears when you need her — that’s a red flag. A woman who truly cares will want to be part of your life, not just your pocket or your time.

3. She Doesn’t Respect You

Respect is everything. If she talks down to you, embarrasses you in public, or always tries to make you feel small, it’s a sign she doesn’t see you as her man. A woman who loves you will protect your image, not damage it.

4. She’s Always Comparing You to Other Men

When she keeps bringing up other men — how they dress, what they buy, or what they do — she’s silently telling you that you’re not what she wants. A lady who’s truly into you focuses on your growth, not on competition.

5. She Doesn’t Support Your Dreams

A good woman pushes her man to do better. But if she doesn’t care about your plans, ignores your goals, or even discourages you, that’s a clear sign she’s not thinking about a future with you. Love is about teamwork, not selfishness.

6. You’re the Only One Making the Effort

If you’re the one always calling, texting, planning, paying, and apologizing, then you’re in a one-sided relationship. Real love flows both ways. When she’s not matching your energy, it means her heart is somewhere else.
