* Just when you think your relationship is steadily moving forward, you notice that a full day has gone by without a single e-mail from your guy or he blows you off to hang with his friends. Is he losing interest? Not necessarily.

He's Planning a Surprise for You

If he has a surprise b-day party or weekend getaway up his sleeve, it may be easier to avoid you than risk tipping you off. "In the weeks before I proposed to my girlfriend, I was totally distracted, worrying if she would say yes,'" says Jonny *, 30. "She kept asking me what was wrong, and I'd just mumble 'nothing.' She was hating met" So if you have a big birthday or anniversary coming up or you're at a major turning point in your relationship, cut him some slack. You can always get pissed later if nothing materializes!

A Pal's Been Screwed

When a friend's been wronged by a woman (cheating, gold digging, sudden craziness), your guy may pull away, trying to gauge if you have the potential to betray him. "After my friend's girl cheated on him with her ex, I was really standoffish because I knew my girlfriend still talked to her ex,'" says Steve, 19. "I just wanted to feel like I didn't need her in case she hurt me." The good news is that as long as you're not doing anything weird, his paranoia will pass.

His Job Is Sucking
