Why aren't the negative numbers being counted properly? - python-3.x

Hello! I have the variable 'neg' keeping a running total of all of the negative numbers that the user enters. It seems as if the negative numbers aren't always being added to the 'neg' running total at the end of the code.
I've been working with Python 3x for about a week now, so be gentle :)
Thanks in advance for the help!
Edit: I have reworked this into a (working) loop per the advice of Kevin, is this a good loop? It seems to work, I'm just looking for pointers as I'm kind of struggling with Python logic. Big thanks to Kevin, wish I could upvote you!
New code posted below:
import time
sums = 0
pos = 0
neg = 0
zero = 0
numb = 0
user_numb = 0
running = True
print('This program will add any 7 numbers for you')
time.sleep(.5)
print()
while running:
user_numb = int(input('Please enter a number: '))
sums = user_numb + sums
numb = numb + 1
print()
if user_numb > 0:
pos = pos + 1
elif user_numb < 0:
neg = neg + 1
elif user_numb == 0:
zero = zero + 1
if numb == 7:
running = False
print()
time.sleep(2)
print('The sum of the numbers entered was: ', + sums)
print()
time.sleep(2)
print('You entered', + pos, 'positive numbers')
print()
time.sleep(2)
print('You entered', + neg, 'negative numbers')
print()
time.sleep(2)
print('You entered', + zero, 'zeroes')
print()
print()
time.sleep(3)

In the section with b you forgot in the copy/pasted code to change all 'a' into 'b' and have still twice an 'a' there:
b = int(input('Please enter the second number: '))
total = total + b
if b > 0:
pos = pos + 1
elif a == 0: # CHANGE TO 'b'
zeroes = zeroes + 1
elif a < 0: # CHANGE TO 'b'
neg = neg + 1
so you see wrong results only in case the second number is a 0 or negative.
