When you're dating someone new it's easy to overlook some serious flaws. Maybe your friends have told you that your significant other has a major dating flaw (or several) that you just decide to deal with. Now, every guy has their quirks, and there is something major to be said about compromise in a relationship. Yet no matter how much understanding there is, deal breakers are a real thing. Let's go through 7 of the biggest red flags with a little help from one of the best TV shows ever made, Parks and Recreation.
1. He doesn't care about your interests or hobbies.
He finds most of your passions quite boring, and he cuts you off when you start talking about them. But don't worry, he will always have time to talk about his!
2. He asks for favors constantly.
It seems as though you don't ask for much, he never fails to hit you up when he wants something. He is especially quick to guilt you into helping him with money.
3. He is indecisive about you.
He goes to his friends, family, and pretty much everyone except you to figure out how he feels. He focuses on every little thing, and this renders him incapable of making a decision concerning your relationship.
P.S. You deserve more than a person who doesn't grasp your worth.
4. He claims that all of his exes are "crazy."
Everyone has their share of weird stories about their exes, and sure some of them could really be kind of nuts. But, if he believes that ALL of his exes were certifiably insane then odds are he is going to end up thinking the same thing about you. No one is good enough for him, and his view is most likely warped.
5. He never apologizes.
Even though arguments are inevitable, it seems apologies aren't. You end up being the one to compromise because he can't empathize, and put himself in your shoes. Taking the high road just really isn't an option for him.
6. He introduces you as his "friend."
You are never sure where your relationship stands with him since he keeps denying that you are anything more than a friend. It is always a huge red flag when the man you are seeing refuses to tell the people in his life the truth about you.
7. He doesn't know how to disagree with you without being disagreeable.
No matter how compatible the two of you are, you are bound to have differences. If the guy gets extremely angry and refuses to acknowledge your opinion, it is not a good sign. If he doesn't hear you out, then he isn't worth it.
Here's the good news:
To end this article, I would like to make it known that thankfully there are plenty of guys out there that do not do any of these things. They are willing to be themselves, and completely accept you for who you are. So, don't put up with any of these deal breakers when it comes to a guy because there is someone truly better out there and that someone will be the Ben to your Leslie.
