Ever find yourself staring longingly at someone and wondered what on Earth is happening inside that head of theirs?
Maybe you're worried they're just not quite as into you as much as you're into them.
It's a heartbreaking scenario but it's always better to know and be able to rip that plaster off.

There's plenty more fish in the sea, girl.
Dating expert Louanne Ward, who hails from Australia, has offered her pearls of wisdom on how to spot an unequal love match - and it turns out it's all down to body language.
Sharing her insights over on Instagram, she said: "Remember, while these body language cues may indicate disinterest, it’s essential to consider them in conjunction with verbal communication and the overall context.

"If you observe several of these signs, it might be time to gracefully move on and find someone who truly appreciates your company!"
Preach.
So, without further ado, the body language cues to look out for are...
Closed arms
Louanne said: "Crossed arms create a barrier, suggesting a defensive and closed-off attitude."
Leaning away
"If they consistently lean away from you, it signifies a desire to create physical distance and disengage," Louanne shared.

Minimal eye contact
Are they struggling to hold your gaze? In that case, Louanne suggests there might be a problem.
She explained: "Avoiding eye contact or constantly looking away indicates a lack of interest or discomfort."
Lack of engagement
If the conversation starts to feel like pulling teeth, you could be in trouble.

"They may display disinterest by not actively participating in the conversation, offering short or monosyllabic responses, or seeming distracted," the expert warned.
Limited touch
We all have our own love language, and those of us that enjoy physical touch will feel especially pained by this one.
"Physical touch is often a sign of connection. If they avoid any form of touch or maintain a noticeable physical distance, it could indicate a lack of interest," Louanne said.

Absence of mirroring
"When we’re interested, we tend to mirror the body language of the other person subconsciously. If they aren’t mirroring your movements or expressions, it suggests a lack of emotional connection," the expert noted.
Preoccupation
Are they more interested in whats happening on Instagram rather than you?
Well, Louanne said: "Constantly checking their phone, looking around the room, or seeming preoccupied with other things can indicate disinterest in the current interaction."
So there we have it.
If you've experienced these signs, it might be time to redownload Hinge.
You deserve better!
