In my last post you all got to see why I’m single and this list will prove why I’m not rushing to fill the boyfriend void in my life. Here’s some signs I’ve picked up along the dating way that may prove that the guy you’re dating might not be ‘The One’:
1. Every conversation starts with the words, “This one time…” Someone who’s constantly living in the past will never make room in their future for you.
2. Their closet looks like a replica of the one your boyfriend had when you were 13. He doesn’t have to be a fashionista and certain clothing can be endearing when it’s time to relax but if he’s a functioning adult and still doesn’t know that a shirt with a dirty slogan is not an acceptable shirt to wear to a place of business/family members wedding then it’s time to move on.
3. The last compliment you heard from him is when he was trying to get you to bring him a beer.
4. He has a lot of ‘girl friends’ that he spends the night with.
5. He believes the word ‘morals’ is a loose term and could really mean anything. In fact, he doesn’t really believe any relationship should have boundaries because that’s too limiting.
6. He calls you buddy while out with friends. Run away if a playful punch to the shoulder accompanies it.
7. His mother does his laundry/cuts his food/wipes his ass whenever you visit her.
8. He’s made it in the newspaper multiple times, and none of those times have included the words ‘honor,’ ‘roll,’ ‘sports,’ or ‘star’ in them and the picture isn’t very flattering because prison lighting never looks good on anyone.
9. He calls you lazy for sitting through a “Keeping Up with the Kardashians” Sunday marathon but becomes defensive when you ask him to clean up the trash surrounding him after a week long COD marathon which included him not bathing and piling beer cans into a fort around him.
10. He accuses you of being a gold digger when you ask him for a hint as to what he got you for your upcoming birthday.
11. He asks for your best friend’s number in front of you so they can hang out alone sometime. “Don’t you want me to get along with your friends babe?“
12. He suggests putting date nights on hold so that you can spend more time at the gym. Don’t worry, he’ll find someone else to hang out with those nights while you’re getting back in shape for him.
13. He regularly checks and keeps up with his online dating profile. ‘Just for fun.’
14. To him ‘true love’ means you having to pick up the check every single time.
15. No one else knows your dating.
