So many guys these days are all over the place — hot one minute, and cold the next. Figuring out which guys are worth your time can be incredibly difficult so here are some warning signs to look for:
- He’s been dropping hints that he wants a sugar mama. A guy who won’t even pay his own way on a first date is a guy you shouldn’t bother talking to again. Any guy who badgers you about money, asks you to be a roommate immediately, or does other similar slimy actions is one you should avoid at all costs. He’s not in love with you — it’s all about the money.
- He’s ditched you or cancelled on you twice. Once can be acceptable, since life does occasionally pop up to throw us all curve balls. Two, three, or four times, though? Not acceptable. He’s just not into you. At all.
- He’s hit up your friends on Facebook with the same cheesy message. Well, doesn’t that make you feel special? Toss the cad to the curb, and you’ll thank yourself later.
- You’ve noticed that he said very misogynistic things or has anger problems. If he’s done the mistake of lashing out at you after you said you weren’t available last weekend, then he’s going to get worse if you date him. If he made it very clear that he hates women or doesn’t respect your gender, you’re looking for (at best) an uphill battle and at worst, a nutter. Next!
- He went radio silence on you. If he’s not even texting you back, why the hell would you embarrass yourself by blowing up his phone? He’s not interested enough to keep you around.
- He’s getting way too clingy, way too quickly;. Usually, there are major issues underlying a guy who’s this desperate. Chances are high that you don’t want to stick around to find out what they are.
- The guy doesn’t get the hint about sex. You’ve made it clear that he’s already going too fast for your taste. He doesn’t care. Picking up the phone for this guy is like shooting yourself in the foot with a douchebag gun.
- He really doesn’t seem to put in much effort with you. Clearly, this guy doesn’t see the awesomeness that is you. It’s better to let him realize it after you’ve ditched him for better prospects.
- The only time he hits you up is late night, and he seems pissed when you refuse to move your schedule around for his sake. This is a clear indication that he doesn’t see you as relationship material, and that he also doesn’t take your time seriously. Why would you waste your time with a guy who has such a low opinion of you?
- The dude made a serious faux pas. If he has made a scene in public, or if he actually had the gall to insult you in front of your friends, you need to cut contact. This guy isn’t worth your time, and being with him will only drag you down.
- If you don’t get butterflies in your stomach from him, you might want to avoid calling him back. In all reality, most guys who just elicit a “meh” response aren’t guys that you will be able to keep the passion alive with for too long…if there was any passion to begin with, that is.
- You can’t see his lifestyle working with yours. Simply put, compatibility does take lifestyle into account. Don’t hit him up unless you see some potential.
