Sure, you've been dating for a while - maybe even long enough to call him your boyfriend, but is he really the one? If he checks any boxes on this list, it might be time to give him the boot.
1. You have nothing in common.
While everyone should have their own interests and two people in a relationship usually don't love all the same things you should share a love of something. Whether it's cheesy B movies on Netflix or sleeping in until noon there needs to be a shared interest.
2. He won't introduce you to the people who are the most important to him.
You've been dating him for three months and while you've heard stories about how funny his best friend Michael is and his Grandma Jean cooks the best meatloaf in the world, you haven't had the chance to find out for yourself. What's more, whenever you bring up meeting his family or friends he quickly changes the subject. Bonus points if he refuses to meet your friends or family.
3. He met your family and totally bombed.
So he finally caved and decided to meet your parents over dinner? Great! What's not great? He played on his phone the entire time and didn't even thank them for picking up the tab.
4. He doesn't respect your time.
Whether it's making plans or cancelling them last minute, he has no regard for your time. It's not a shock when he cancels on date-night to go out with his buddies. Don't worry, though, he'll call you when he gets back at 3:00 a.m., even if he knows you have to be up at 8:00 a.m.
5. He doesn't care about your dreams.
In fact, the last time you shared your goal to own your own company by age 30 he laughed at you. If someone doesn't offer encouragement and support they usually don't care about you don't need that negativity.
6. He won't change his Facebook relationship status.
Usually, after a few months of dating and a couple has agreed to only see each other both parties look forward to sharing their status on social media. Your guy, however, has a list of reasons why he doesn't want to take this step. He doesn't want other people in his business, he's a very private person, or he just doesn't log on very often. So what if he posts, at least, a couple times a day?
7. He is the king of posting selfies but won't take a picture with you.
Although there is absolutely nothing wrong with taking a picture of yourself when you think you are looking nice, it is overkill to do all of the time. What's more, when you ask him to take a picture with you he refuses all while seeing how many likes his last shot received.
8. He openly flirts with other girls right in front of you.
Whether he does it literally right in front of you, like flirting with the waitress while you're seated across from him or figuratively, like posting suggestive comments on another female's pictures, this means he doesn't respect you or the relationship.
9. He won't delete his dating apps.
You both probably had, at least, one dating site account when you first got together - and maybe that's even how you met, fine. However, the months have passed and while you deleted yours after the third date, he's still swiping right and left.
10. He makes you feel uncomfortable.
This might be the most important. Whether he's talking to other girls, pressuring you do things you have made clear you don't want to do, or commenting on those five pounds you gained last month, he seems to have a knack for making you question or doubt yourself. Someone who loves and appreciates you would respect you and build you up not find ways to hurt you.
