Moreover, if you. Meaning "excluding, not counting"

A man may say: “I’m terribly stuck at work; I recently went through a breakup serious relationship, which was a big blow for me; my parents’ divorce left an indelible mark on my soul and brought a bunch of new troubles; I need to focus on my career now; I can’t get into a relationship until everything gets better in my life; as soon as my situation improves, I will leave my wife, girlfriend, lousy job; I'm terribly busy."

It’s easier for us to jump out of a window than to say: “You’re not right for me.” We are one hundred percent sure that in this case you will kill us or yourself, or both of us, or, even worse, start crying and screaming. Even if we don't say it, we clearly show our attitude to you. Stop making excuses for us, our actions speak for themselves: we just don’t like you.

1. He doesn't like you that much if he doesn't ask you out.

Because if he likes you, trust me, he will definitely make an appointment with you

1. Excuse option: Maybe he doesn't want to ruin our friendship.

I hate to tell you this, but this excuse doesn't hold water. Unfortunately, throughout human history, this excuse has never been used by those who really meant it. If we really care about a woman, we can't bring ourselves to stop - we want more. And please don't tell me he's just "scared." The only thing he is afraid of - and I say this with sincere sympathy for you - is to admit that he is not attracted to you at all.

2. Excuse option: He probably doesn’t dare take the first step.

You can hint to a man that you like him, but you shouldn't help him ask you out. I repeat again, dear ladies: the fact that you smile and playfully wink at him will be quite enough.

3. Excuse: Maybe he doesn't want to rush things.

If a man really likes you but exists deeply personal reasons, for which he does not want to rush things, he will immediately tell you about it. He will not leave you in the dark because he needs confidence that you will not be disappointed and disappear from his life.

4. The “But he gave me his phone number” excuse

Don't let him use cheap tricks to get you to ask him out on a date. If a man is interested in you, he will take all the troubles upon himself. It sounds a little old-fashioned, but when a man likes a woman, he asks her out.

5. The “Perhaps he forgot about me” excuse

Rest assured, you've made an impression on him. Now leave everything as it is. If he likes you, he will remember you even after a tsunami, flood or defeat of the Russian national team in the next match. If he has forgotten about you, you should not waste time on him. Do you know why? Because you are great.

  • Any excuse essentially means that you are of little interest to him. Men are not afraid to “ruin friendships.”
  • Don't fall for his tricks and don't ask him out. If he likes you, he will invite you himself.
  • If you can find him, then he can find you. If he wants to find you, he will do it.
  • “Hey, let's meet at such and such a party/at some bar/at a friend's house” does not qualify as a date invitation. Even if you live in New York.
  • The man remembers well whether he liked you when he met, so hang up.
  • You are good enough to be asked out.

2. He doesn't like you that much if he doesn't call you.

Men know how to use the phone

6. The “But he’s on the road so often” excuse

Take note: a man who is interested in you wants to spend time with you. And he will be content with five phone calls only if he can’t catch the plane to rush to you.

7. Excuse like “But his head is busy with completely different things”

Most important question here it sounds like this: “Is it normal if a man forgot to call me?” I answer: “No.” Unless he needs to rush someone to the hospital or someone stole his Ferrari. He should never forget that he promised to call you. If I really like you, I will never forget about you. Don't you expect the kind of guy who would rather forget about everything that happened in his life than forget about you?

8. The "He's not saying what he really means" excuse

That's the problem: at the end of the date or telephone conversation many men tell you what they think you would like to hear. They think it's better than nothing. So if the guy you're dating doesn't call you despite all his promises, is it worth getting hung up on him? After all, you want a man who can at least keep his word.

9. The “But he’s very busy” excuse

And now I'm going to make an outrageous, harsh and categorical statement regarding the relationship between a man and a woman: the word "busy" is complete nonsense, it is commonly consumed by donkeys. The word “busy” can destroy any relationship in one gulp. Being extremely “busy” may seem like a convincing excuse, but in reality, behind this concept there is always a man who was not interested in calling you. Remember: men will always have time to achieve what they want.

10. One hundred percent of the surveyed representatives of the stronger sex said: they will always find a minute to call a woman they really like.

  • If he doesn't call you, it means he doesn't think about you.
  • If he makes promises and then lets you down in small ways, rest assured that the same will happen when it comes to bigger things. Keep this in mind and keep in mind that this guy will have no problem disappointing you.
  • You should not build a relationship with someone who is unable to keep his word.
  • If he is unwilling to make the slightest effort to calm you down and smooth over the brewing conflicts in your relationship, then he simply does not respect your feelings and needs.
  • "Busy" is the same as "donkey". And "donkey" is the same as the guy you're dating.
  • You fucking deserve to be called.

3. He doesn't like you all that much if he doesn't acknowledge the fact that you're dating.

Spending time together does not mean dating

11. The “He just went through a painful breakup” excuse

He may be one of your closest friends, but as a man he's not that into you. Beware of the word "friend." It is often used by men or women who are in love with these men to justify their most disgusting behavior. When choosing friends, I prefer people who don't upset me.

12. The "But we're really dating" excuse

Men, like women, strive to gain a sense of security and safety when they see a relationship becoming serious. One common way to achieve this is to claim your loved one. A man who is truly passionate about you will want you to be his. What's wrong with that, girls?

13. The “It’s better than nothing” excuse

Let me remind you: you want a man who wants you, calls you regularly and makes you feel like the sexiest and most desirable woman in the world. He longs to see you more and more often, because each time his feeling grows stronger, growing from sympathy into true love. A relationship in which you meet a man once every two weeks or once a month without feeling any love or sympathy from him can last a day, or a week, or a month. But can they last a lifetime?

14. One hundred percent of men surveyed said that fear of a serious relationship has never stopped them from starting new novel. One young man even remarked: “The fear of a serious relationship is one of the myths big city" And another guy said, "That's what we tell girls we don't really like."

  • Men talk about their feelings, even if you refuse to listen or don't believe their confessions. “I’m not ready for a serious relationship” means “I’m not ready for a serious relationship.” with you" or "I'm not sure that you are the woman I need." (I beg your pardon.)
  • “Better than nothing” should not suit you.
  • If you don't understand what's going on in your relationship, then there's nothing wrong with slowing down and asking him a few questions.
  • Smells of uncertainty? Don't expect anything good.
  • There is one guy in the world who will want to tell everyone that he is your boyfriend. Stop fooling around and go find him.

4. He doesn't like you that much if he doesn't want to have sex with you.

If a man likes a woman, he always wants to touch her

Dear ladies, you have already met and will continue to meet a great many men. I hate to tell you this, but some of these men will simply decide that you are not their type. And none of those men who don't like you will ever tell you about it. And he will say that... he is afraid, worried, exhausted, experiencing pain from a broken leg, suffering from a cold, afraid (again). But the truth, simple, cruel and bitter, is clear as daylight: he is not attracted to you, and he does not want to hurt you.

15. The "He's afraid he'll get hurt again" excuse

Is he afraid? Yes, he is afraid of offending you. That's why he didn't clarify the situation with your relationship. He may even be trying to make himself feel something for you by talking about how much he loves you and how he doesn't want to lose you, but might as well sign your name in your diary. He loves you as a friend. If he loved you as a woman, he would not be able to control himself and would have a whirlwind affair with you, despite all his fears and unpleasant memories.

16. The "I drive him so crazy that he doesn't show any interest" excuse

Of course, many people have suffered in the past and now fear serious relationships. But you know what? If a man really likes you, nothing will stop him from pursuing you, not even the fear of a serious relationship. If he really big problems on this matter, he may go for pointless treatment, but he will never keep you in the dark.

17. The “But it’s so cool” excuse

It used to be that a woman refused to have sex when she wanted to gain power over a man. It seems that representatives of the stronger sex have also learned to use this. If a guy is lying on the couch with you, happily eating cookies and watching a movie (and is not gay), then he simply is not attracted to you.

18. The “He has a bunch of explanations for everything” excuse

You can believe his excuses if you want, but ask yourself a few questions first. Are you satisfied with this kind of relationship? The most important thing here is do you want to feel this way, possibly for the rest of your life? Sex is also one of the greatest pleasures a person can experience. Therefore, it is at least strange when the person you are dating prevents you from having this pleasure.

19. Remember:

  • People talk about who they really are all the time. If a man tells you that monogamy is not for him, then there is no reason not to believe him.
  • Communication is wonderful. But if communication is combined with sex, that’s even better. Call a spade a spade, or rather, call a friend a friend. And find yourself a friend who can't resist touching you.
  • If you have low self-esteem, then you will have to spend more time improving it than looking for a new boyfriend. So prioritize according to your needs.
  • If you are tempted by the thought of a thousand and one nights spent in the arms (and only) of some man, then get yourself a puppy.
  • Hot thing, there's a man walking around somewhere who really wants to make love to you.

5. He doesn't like you that much if he sleeps with another woman.

There is no truly convincing excuse for cheating

Whatever problems plague your relationship, they do not give him the right to make love to another woman. Don't ask what is your fault. There is no need to take the blame on yourself. And if he tells you that it happened by accident, then remember: cheating is not accidental. This is not an accident like “I stumbled and was sucked into a swamp called “Treason.” He planned and executed this, fully aware that it could end your relationship. Remember: if he sleeps with another woman without your permission and approval, then he is acting not just like a man who is not that interested in you, but like a man who is not interested in you at all.

20. The "He has no excuse and he knows it" excuse

Cheating is bad. And the inability to explain why you cheated on a person is even worse. If one red flag isn't enough for you, how about two? Don't date men who don't know why they did something.

21. The “But I got fat” excuse

I'm completely sure that you need to lose 200 pounds from your worthless boyfriend, not the twenty pounds he's talking about. He cheated on you and called you fat. How much humiliation can a person endure? If something in your relationship does not suit him, then he should talk about it with you, instead of seeking solace in the vagina of another woman. Plus, think about how he would react if you got pregnant, got older, or got a few wrinkles? Or if you dye your hair a color he doesn't like? Get rid of this loser immediately, or I will come to your house and throw him out.

22. The “He needs more sex than me” excuse

There is no excuse for him to cheat on you. Dot. There are many ways to solve this fairly common problem, which arises due to differences in sexual appetite. As a rule, people start by having an open conversation about this topic, and everyone agrees to do everything in their power to make their partner satisfied. At the same time, it is not at all necessary to jump into bed with someone else!

23. The "But at least he knew her" excuse

I’ll explain in other words: it doesn’t matter whether he loves you or not. He made it clear to you how he felt about your affair. He acted on his feelings and arranged everything so that he could be alone with another woman, kiss her, take off her clothes and do everything else that usually happens when two adults have sex. Can you continue to love him after this?

24. One hundred percent of men surveyed reported that they had never made love to a woman by pure chance. (But many of them wanted to know how such an accident occurs and what needs to be done to take advantage of it.)

  • There is no excuse for cheating. Let me repeat: there is no excuse for cheating. Now say it yourself: there is no excuse for cheating.
  • The only thing you are responsible for when another person fails morally is your own feelings.
  • Treason is betrayal. It doesn’t matter who he cheated on you with and how many times it happened.
  • Each time it becomes easier to change. It is only difficult the first time when you experience remorse and guilt because you have not lived up to the trust of another person.
  • Cheaters are never happy. (Because they're all bastards.)
  • An unfaithful man first of all cheats on himself, since he cannot build a normal relationship with you.

6. He doesn't like you that much if he only wants to see you when he's drunk.

If he likes you, he will be eager to see you when his brain is not clouded by alcohol fumes. If your clown puts on a red nose every time it comes to intimacy, then this indicates that there are serious problems in your relationship.

25. The “But I like it when he’s drunk” excuse

If, sitting at a bar, he drunk says something like: “Baby, you’re so beautiful!” and at the same time hugs you a little tighter than he should, then it’s high time you learned something: you can’t believe everything a man says when he’s drunk. And listen to the ex-bad guy: "bad boys" are called bad because they have a lot of trouble, no feeling self-esteem, besides, they absolutely do not believe in sincere love relationship, but very often they dress cool and drive cool cars. Is this really what you need?

26. The “At least he doesn’t drink the strongest drinks” excuse

Don't be fooled. A guy who doesn't collapse and pee his pants from drinking shouldn't get away with quietly turning his brain off in a different, easier way every time you're together. It's still intoxication, it's still a desire to avoid responsibility, and it's still not very good for you.

27. Remember:

  • His words mean nothing if he said them while drunk. “I love you” or the like, said under the influence of any drink stronger than grape juice, has no force in court or in real life.
  • Drinking alcohol and drugs is not the way to a person’s deepest feelings. Otherwise, people wouldn't break empty beer bottles over their heads and try to touch the flames of a fire to see if they would feel anything or not.
  • If he wants to see you, communicate with you, have sex with you only when he is drunk, this is not love, this is sport.
  • Bad guys aren't called bad for nothing.
  • You deserve a man who doesn't have to pump himself up to spend time with you.

7. He doesn't like you that much if he doesn't want to marry you.

Love cures commitment sickness

Each of your former men The person who told you that he doesn't want to get married, or doesn't believe in marriage, or has doubts about marriage, will certainly tie himself in sacred knots someday. Not with you. Because he’s not saying that he doesn’t want to get married at all. He says that he doesn't want to marry you.

28. The “Everything is very complicated now” excuse

If you focus on the state of your finances when choosing a time for your wedding, this favorable period will never come. If your boyfriend uses lack of money as an excuse not to marry you, then it is your relationship that is at risk, not his bank account.

29. The “But he’s just like that” excuse

If you have to sit and think about how to start a conversation about marriage with a person with whom you have been in a close relationship for quite some time, then this is an alarming sign. Immediately call him for a frank conversation and sort things out. Then, as soon as you are ready, go find someone who will be all about how you feel.

30. The dilemma of “Is this really an excuse not to get married?”

Marriage is a tradition that we inherited from previous generations, which is why marriage has so many opponents. So be it: if a man is categorically against marriage, and you are both for it, then please make sure that behind his reluctance to marry lies only a dislike for the very institution of marriage, and not any other feelings or lack thereof.

31. The “I’m just not ready yet” excuse

I hate to tell you this, but he doesn’t want to rush for just one reason: he’s still not sure that you’re the one.

32. The "He's seen enough other failed marriages" excuse

For a worthy man, meeting a woman with whom he wants to share his life always becomes a real event. And, probably, if he understands that this is exactly the woman, he will not immediately tell her that the very thought of registering their relationship disgusts him.

33. One hundred percent of the men surveyed admitted that they would undoubtedly propose marriage to a woman if they were completely sure that she was the love of their life. One representative of the stronger sex said: “What kind of idiot do you have to be not to marry the woman you love?”

  • “He doesn’t want to get married” and “He doesn’t want to marry me” are two different things. Make sure that you correctly determine which category your chosen one belongs to.
  • If you have opposing views marriage, there will probably be other issues that will lead to disagreements. It's time to make a problem list.
  • If nothing changes in your relationship, then what are you waiting for?
  • Somewhere on earth there is a man walking who wants to marry you.

8. He doesn't like you that much if he dumped you.

"I don't want to be with you" still means exactly that

34. The “He needs me” excuse

Don't be satisfied that he's bored without you. He should be bored. You are so unique. And yet he was and remains the person who abandoned you. Remember, there is only one reason why he might miss you when he remembers you: he thinks that he doesn't want to spend this day with you.

35. Justification like “It’s much easier after this decision”

If he dates you, asks you out, dumps you and continues to sleep with you, that essentially absolves him of any responsibility for your feelings for him. There is one thing that a young man will never do if he cannot imagine his life without you: he will never leave you. The only way for you to know if you love yourself is to get rid of him, and get rid of him as quickly as possible.

36. The “But everyone does it” excuse

Stop holding on to his dick, get dressed and quickly go home to your best friend. And don't look for an excuse to stay with him. And don’t think that all this crazy passion will inevitably lead to you getting back together. Oh yeah, sex after a breakup is not bad at all, because it's great to sleep with someone you know. It's also great to sleep with a person you feel for strong feelings. This combination is what makes sex after a breakup so vibrant. But now you know that because of this, real confusion arises in your head and you begin to feel terrible. Let's face it: you are a woman, and women don't know how to separate love and sex. And don't make the same mistakes again. Got it? He doesn't like you that much. He much prefers a very bad idea that masquerades as a very bad one. good idea, namely, sex after a breakup. Like this.

37. The “But then he wants to go back” excuse

Unfortunately, after you break up, your boyfriend starts looking for something better. And when he fails, he is overcome by loneliness and returns “home.” It's not like he likes you very much. He just really doesn't like being alone.

38. The “I refuse to accept the fact that he left me” excuse

I'm sorry he left you. By trying again and again to win him back, you make your ex-boyfriend think: “What did I even see in this psycho bitch?” Remember one simple tip, ladies: always be on top. Never go crazy. Well, well, in fact, this is not even one, but two tips. But trust me, you will never regret listening to them. At least this will save you from unpleasant memories about how you cut his clothes into pieces or threw out all the photos of him.

39. Remember:

  • You won't be able to prevent a breakup by talking. Discussions won't help here. The termination of relations is a final decision and cannot be appealed.
  • Having sex after a breakup doesn't mean you're back together.
  • Stop communicating with him. Let him miss you.
  • You don't need to remind him how great you are.
  • He can take care of his cat himself.
  • A “gorgeous woman” will never torment his answering machine.
  • Somewhere there is a young man waiting for you who will be just happy that you didn’t get back together with your terribly nasty ex-boyfriend.

9. He doesn't like you that much if he just up and disappeared.

Sometimes you have to make up your own mind

Well, everything is very clear here. He made it clear to you that you were so not his type that he didn’t even bother to leave you any news about himself. The only thing you should take away from this love story, is the fact that he decided to leave you. And he didn’t have the courage to tell you this, looking him in the eye. Case closed.

40. The “Maybe he died” excuse

There is nothing worse than not receiving a response from your loved one. But the trouble is that the lack of an answer is the answer for you. He may not have written a goodbye letter, but his silence says more clearly: “I don’t like you.” The only reason why you should write to him again is the desire to receive an explicit refusal, now in verbal form. Have you forgotten? You are too busy with your fans and you don't have time for such nonsense.

41. Excuse like “So, it turns out I can’t even quarrel with him for the last time?”

At first, it may seem that you will feel better if you call him and start a scandal. You may feel like you let him get away with it. But believe me, nothing you want to tell him will be a revelation to him. And you already have something to spend your time on.

42. The “But I just want an answer” excuse

Do you deserve to know what really happened? Without a doubt. I can tell you what happened: you met with terrible person. The easiest way to correct this mistake is to draw certain conclusions for yourself, move on with your life and continue to be more selective in choosing a partner. Do all this quickly without wasting a minute of your precious time.

43. One hundred percent of males surveyed who “disappeared” from a woman’s sight said they were fully aware that they had done something terrible, and no phone calls and belated conversations would not make them change their minds.

  • He may indeed be in the hospital suffering from amnesia, but more likely he's just not that into you.
  • The lack of an answer is his answer to you.
  • Don't give him the opportunity to reject you again.
  • Let his mother make scandals for him. And you're too busy for that.
  • There is no mystery here: he simply left your life, and he was unworthy of you.

10. He doesn’t like you that much if he’s married (this also includes all the other, most incredible reasons why he can’t be with you)

If you cannot love each other freely and openly, then it is not true love. No matter how strong and sincere your feelings for another person are, if he cannot respond to them honestly and fully, that is mutual love, these feelings don't mean anything.

44. The “But his wife is such a bitch” excuse!

No matter how unhappy his marriage was and no matter how badly his wife treated him, it was definitely not that bad, otherwise he would have left her long ago. Sincere love relationships do not deserve to be hidden. Find yourself a man who won't hide his feelings.

45. The “But he’s such a good person” excuse

Please don't try to ignore this fact. He is married to another woman. I know you are not like everyone else, and in your case everything is different, but the fact remains: he is married. If in your entire life you are ready to stop at a red light only once, then this is exactly the case. It's just that the stakes are too high for everyone who plays this game.

46. ​​The “I just have to wait” excuse

If at a certain stage in the development of a relationship there is talk of “waiting for him,” this is an alarming signal. He is not a stock in which you are going to invest money. He is a man whose heart must be open enough for him to be ready to meet you and fall madly in love with you. If someone really likes you, he will quickly solve all his problems and make a lot of efforts not to lose you.

47. Remember:

  • He is married.
  • If he doesn't belong to you entirely, then he belongs to her.
  • There are a lot of cool and gentle single men in the world. Try to meet one of them.
  • If a man screams and curses at ex-wife or mourning a previous girlfriend, go to the movies with someone else.
  • He is married.
  • There is no need to join the ranks of those same women.
  • You are not so easy to forget. Let him find you himself when he is ready for a new relationship.

11. He doesn't like you that much if he acts like a selfish egoist, a braggart, or just a big jerk.

If he really loves you, he will do his best to make you happy.

48. The “But he really wants to improve” excuse

Loving people try to treat each other well and even take pleasure in showing tenderness and care to their loved ones. If your partner is very bad at this, then you end up reaping the same benefits as in the situation called “He doesn’t like you that much.”

49. The “But that’s just the way he was raised” excuse

It's not necessary for him to go crazy over your CD collection. He doesn't have to like all your shoes. But any full-fledged and prudent man simply must make an effort and love your friends and your family, especially if they are all such wonderful people.

50. The “But he will change” excuse

Temper is not a temporary problem. People who yell at others simply do not know how to control themselves and need psychiatric help. People who yell at others think they have a right to do so. Hey, beauty, do you really want to create such a family?

51. The “After all, the only thing that matters is what happens between us in private” excuse

Why be with a person who needs to humiliate you in order to feel superior? Especially in front of friends! Why should you care if he treats you better when you're alone? After all, he is just waiting to bring you into the public eye in order to humiliate you. Drop him! Go to college and write a thesis on the topic: “How to find a man whom you are not ashamed to show to your friends.”

52. The "But he's just trying to help" excuse

It is not only behavior when a man beats a woman that is called offensive. Behavior that can and should also be considered offensive is when a man yells at a woman, publicly humiliates her, or reminds her that she is too fat, thereby making her feel unattractive. It's very hard to believe what you deserve true love when someone tries their best to convince you that you are not worthy of anything in this life. But, as I see, all the exhortations to break up with him still have no effect on you. So first, just realize: you are too good for similar relationships. You are too good for such a relationship.

53. The “He just hasn’t found himself yet” excuse

54. The "Maybe it's one of his little quirks" excuse!

You'll likely encounter men who don't like hugging, kissing, or having sex. You will spend a lot of time trying to figure out how to deal with this and whether you caused this behavior. Or will you simply come to the conclusion that these people don't like doing what you think is an integral part of full life, and go in search of a person who shares your views.

The joke goes something like this: “Hey, Björk called, she wants her dress back.” And the insult is like this: “God, you’re so fed up!” But the most important thing is to understand what you need. You all definitely deserve better treatment!

55. One hundred percent of men surveyed said that they had never tried to humiliate or upset a woman they really liked. And this is the most important thing.

  • No need to complicate things as it is hard life, sharing it with a person who gives you a lot of trouble.
  • You deserve a man who will behave with you appropriately in any situation. (Don't forget that you should treat him well too.)
  • There is no reason to yell at another person unless they are in mortal danger.
  • Assholes belong in the circus, not in your apartment.
  • You already have one butt, why do you need a second one?
  • By getting rid of useless people, you will have a lot of free time that you can spend on what gives you pleasure.
  • Believe in yourself. How could it be otherwise?

13. So what should you do?

56. Here you ask: “What if the next novel doesn’t happen at all?” And we will answer: “Send these terrible thoughts to long voyage on a ship that will certainly sink, because it is destined to crash on the reefs of the Island of Sorrows. And we don't want you on this ship."

Your new requirements:

  • I will not date a person who does not ask me out on dates.
  • I will not date a person who makes me wait for hours for his call.
  • I will not date a person who is not sure that he wants to date me.
  • I will not date someone who makes me feel sexually unattractive.
  • I won't date someone who abuses alcohol or drugs, so this makes me uncomfortable.
  • I will not date a person who is afraid to make plans for the future with me.
  • Under no circumstances will I waste time on a person who has already rejected me once.
  • I will not date a married man.
  • I will not date a man unless he is truly a kind, sincere and gentle person.

Now it's your turn. Only you know what other demands you want to make of your future chosen one. Write them all down. And don't forget about them.

What it should mean is this: I'm really, really afraid of intimacy.
In some cases, this means: I just don't like you that much.

And you will be happy!

More than / moreover

introductory expression and members of the sentence

1. Introductory expression. Emphasizes the importance of the following phrase, used before a final and stronger statement. Identified by punctuation marks, usually commas.

Terkin is, so to speak, personal person, a soldier living under this or another name, listed under the number of his military unit and field post office. Moreover, Prose and poetic messages from readers speak of a desire for this to be exactly so, that is, for Terkin to be a non-fictional person. A. Tvardovsky, How “Vasily Terkin” was written. No one had to think about the fact that Pushkin could admit to himself his passion for the young, beautiful maid of honor from Tsarskoe Selo, the sister of a lyceum comrade, without any horror; moreover, if not passion, then the slight half-fictional love for her not only of Pushkin, but also of his two other comrades, Pushchin and Illichevsky, was completely and obviously known. Y. Tynyanov, Nameless love. I don’t blame, I explain and don’t expect “organizational conclusions”, moreover, I don’t require any “organizational conclusions”, that’s what I’m writing about. V. Shukshin, Klyauza.

2. Members of the sentence. No punctuation required.

The feeling she experienced was much moreover which he felt towards her.

Editor's note. Part 1

Commas, punctuation

“In addition” is ALWAYS highlighted with commas (both at the beginning and in the middle of a sentence).

“Most likely” in the meaning of “very likely, most likely” is separated by commas (Of course, it’s all because of the cognac and the steam room, otherwise he would most likely have remained silent.).
In the meaning of “quickest” - NO (This is the most likely way to get to the house.).

"Quicker". If it means “better, more willingly”, then WITHOUT commas. For example: “She would rather die than betray him.” Also WITHOUT commas, if it means “better to say.” For example: “making some remark or rather an exclamation.”
BUT! A comma is needed if this is an introductory word expressing the author’s assessment of the degree of reliability of this statement in relation to the previous one (in the meaning of “most likely” or “most likely”). For example: “It cannot be called smart person“Rather, he’s on his own mind.”

“Of course”, “of course” - the word of course is NOT separated by commas at the beginning of the response, pronounced in a tone of confidence, conviction: Of course it is!
In other cases, a comma is REQUIRED.

The expressions “in general”, “in general” are SEPARATED in the meaning “in short, in a word”, then they are introductory.

“First of all” are isolated as introductory in the meaning of “first of all” (First of all, he is quite capable person).
These words do NOT stand out in the meaning of “first, first” (First of all, you need to contact a specialist).
A comma after “a”, “but”, etc. is NOT needed: “But first of all, I want to say.”
When clarifying, the entire phrase is highlighted: “There is hope that these proposals, primarily from the Ministry of Finance, will not be accepted or will be changed.”

“at least”, “at least” - are isolated only when inverted: “This issue was discussed twice, at least.”

“in turn” - is not separated by a comma in the meaning “for its part”, “in response, when it was the turn.” And the quality of introductory ones is isolated.

“literally” - not introductory, not separated by commas

"Hence". If the meaning is “therefore, therefore, it means,” then commas are needed. For example: “So you, therefore, are our neighbors.”
BUT! If it means “therefore, as a result of this, based on the fact that,” then the comma is needed only on the left. For example: “I found a job, therefore we will have more money”; “You are angry, therefore you are wrong”; “You can’t bake a cake, so I’ll bake it.”

"At a minimum." If it means “the least”, then without commas. For example: “At least I’ll wash the dishes”; “He made at least a dozen mistakes.”
BUT! If in the meaning of comparison with something, emotional assessment, then with a comma. For example: “At a minimum, this approach involves control,” “To do this, you need, at a minimum, to understand politics.”

“that is, if”, “especially if” - a comma is usually not needed

“That is” is not an introductory word and is not separated by commas on either side. This is a conjunction, a comma is placed before it (and if in some contexts a comma is placed after it, then for other reasons: for example, to highlight a certain isolated construction or subordinate clause, which come after it).
For example: “There are still five kilometers to the station, that is, an hour’s walk” (a comma is needed), “There are still five kilometers to the station, that is, if you walk slowly, an hour’s walk (a comma after “that is” is placed to highlight the subordinate clause "if you go slowly")

“In any case” are separated by commas as introductory ones if they are used in the meaning “at least”.

“Besides that”, “besides this”, “besides everything (other)”, “besides everything (other)” are isolated as introductory ones.
BUT! “Besides that” is a conjunction, a comma is NOT needed. For example: “In addition to not doing anything himself, he also makes claims against me.”

“Thanks to this”, “thanks to that”, “thanks to that” and “along with that” - a comma is usually not required. Segregation is optional. The presence of a comma is not an error.

“Moreover” - WITHOUT a comma.
“Especially when”, “especially since”, “especially if”, etc. — a comma is needed before “even more so.” For example: “Such arguments are hardly needed, especially since this is a false statement”, “especially if it is meant”, “rest, especially since a lot of work awaits you”, “you shouldn’t sit at home, especially if your partner invites you to the dance."

“Moreover” is highlighted with a comma only in the middle of the sentence (on the left).

“Nevertheless” - a comma is placed in the middle of the sentence (on the left). For example: “He has decided everything, however, I will try to convince him.”
BUT! If “but nevertheless”, “if nevertheless”, etc., then commas are NOT needed.

If "however" means "but", then a comma with right side NOT installed. (An exception is if this is an interjection. For example: “However, what a wind!”)

“In the end” - if it means “in the end”, then a comma is NOT placed.

“Indeed” is NOT separated by commas in the meaning of “in fact” (that is, if this is a circumstance, expressed by an adverb), if it is synonymous with the adjective “valid” - “real, genuine”. For example: “Its bark itself is thin, not like oak or pine, which are really not afraid of hot sun rays"; “You are really very tired.”

“Indeed” can act as an introductory and SEPARATE. The introductory word is characterized by intonation isolation - it expresses the speaker’s confidence in the truth of the reported fact. In controversial cases, the author of the text decides on the placement of punctuation marks.

“Because” - a comma is NOT needed if it is a conjunction, that is, if it can be replaced with “because”. For example: “As a child, he underwent a medical examination because he fought in Vietnam,” “maybe it’s all because I love when a person sings” (a comma is needed, because replace with “because” it is forbidden).

"One way or another." A comma is needed if the meaning is “be that as it may.” Then this is introductory. For example: “She knew that, one way or another, she would tell Anna everything.”
BUT! The adverbial expression “one way or another” (the same as “in one way or another” or “in any case”) does NOT require punctuation. For example: “War is necessary one way or another.”

Always WITHOUT commas:

The comma is NOT included
at the beginning of a sentence:

“Before... I found myself...”
"Since…"
"Before..."
“Even though...”
"As…"
"In order to..."
"Instead of..."
“Actually...”
"While…"
“Especially since...”
"Nevertheless…"
“Despite the fact that...” (at the same time - separately); There is NO comma before “what”.
"In case..."
"After…"
“And...”

“Finally” in the meaning of “finally” is NOT separated by commas.

“And this despite the fact that...” - a comma is ALWAYS placed in the middle of a sentence!

“Based on this, ...” - a comma is placed at the beginning of the sentence. BUT: “He did this based on...” - a comma is NOT used.

“After all, if..., then...” - a comma is NOT placed before “if”, since then comes the second part of the double conjunction - “then”. If there is no “then”, then a comma is placed before “if”!

“For less than two years...” - a comma is NOT placed before “what”, because This is NOT a comparison.

A comma is placed before “HOW” only in case of comparison.

“Politicians such as Ivanov, Petrov, Sidorov...” - a comma is added because there is a noun "policy".
BUT: “...politicians such as Ivanov, Petrov, Sidorov...” - a comma is NOT placed before “how”.

Commas are NOT used:
“God forbid”, “God forbid”, “for God’s sake” - are not separated by commas, + the word “God” is written with a small letter.

BUT: commas are placed in both directions:
“Thank God” in the middle of a sentence is highlighted with commas on both sides (the word “God” in this case is written with capital letters) + at the beginning of a sentence - highlighted by a comma (on the right side).
“By God” - in these cases, commas are placed on both sides (the word “God” in this case is written with a small letter).
“Oh my God” - separated by commas on both sides; in the middle of the sentence, “God” - with a small letter.

If introductory word Can omit or rearrange to another place in the sentence without violating its structure (usually this happens with conjunctions “and” and “but”), then the conjunction is not included in the introductory construction - a comma is NEEDED. For example: “Firstly, it became dark, and, secondly, everyone was tired.”

If introductory word remove or rearrange it is forbidden , then a comma after the conjunction (usually with the conjunction “a”) is NOT placed. For example: “She simply forgot about this fact, or maybe she never remembered it,” “..., and therefore, …”, “..., and maybe …”, “..., and therefore, …”.

If introductory word Can remove or rearrange, then a comma is NEEDED after the conjunction “a”, since it is not associated with the introductory word, i.e., welded combinations such as “and therefore”, “and however”, “and therefore”, “and maybe”, etc. p.. For example: “She not only didn’t love him, but maybe even despised him.”

If at the beginning sentences worth coordinating union(in the connecting meaning) (“and”, “yes” in the meaning of “and”, “too”, “also”, “and that”, “and that”, “yes and”, “and also”, etc.) , and then an introductory word, then there is NO need for a comma in front of it. For example: “And really, you shouldn’t have done that”; “And perhaps it was necessary to do something differently”; “And finally, the action of the play is ordered and divided into acts”; “Besides, other circumstances have come to light”; “But of course, everything ended well.”

It happens rarely: if at the beginning offers worth connecting union, A introductory construction stands out intonationally, then commas are NEEDED. For example: “But, to my great chagrin, Shvabrin decisively announced...”; “And, as usual, they remembered only one good thing.”

Do not confuse with homogeneous members

1. The following stable expressions are not homogeneous and therefore are NOT separated by a comma:
neither this nor that;
neither fish nor meat;
neither stand nor sit;
no end or edge;
neither light nor dawn;
not a sound, not a breath;
neither for yourself nor for people;
neither sleep nor spirit;
neither here nor there;
for no reason about anything;
neither give nor take;
no answer, no hello;
neither yours nor ours;
neither subtract nor add;
and this way and that;
both day and night;
both laughter and grief;
and cold and hunger;
both old and young;
about this and that;
both;
in both.

(General rule: a comma is not placed inside whole phraseological expressions formed by two words with opposite meaning, connected by a repeating conjunction “and” or “nor”)

2. NOT separated by comma:

1) Verbs in same shape, indicating movement and its purpose.
I'll go for a walk.
Sit down and rest.
Go take a look.
2) Forming a semantic unity.
Can't wait.
Let's sit and talk.

3) Paired combinations of a synonymous, antonymous or associative nature.
Seek the truth.
There is no end.
Honor and praise to all.
Let's go.
Everything is covered.
It's nice to see.
Questions of purchase and sale.
Greet with bread and salt.
Tie hand and foot.

4) Difficult words(interrogative-relative pronouns, adverbs to which something is opposed).
No one else can do it, but you can’t.
It’s somewhere, somewhere, and everything is there.
