8 Signs You’re Dating the Wrong Guy

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at High Point chapter.

1.When he continues to call you Jill, and that’s not your name. But it IS the name of his ex-girlfriend.
 

2.When he seems to take longer than you to get ready for a date. Unless you recently cut off all of your hair and have banned makeup (this should never happen).
 
3. When he is too cheap to buy you a decent piece of jewelry and instead gets you an iron. Just because you can “use it all the time” doesn’t make it thoughtful.
 
4.If he wears a speedo or owns a fanny pack. Seriously, for everyone’s sake, take it away from him and get out of there as fast as possible.
 
5.Leaving a mess everywhere you go. You are not dating them to be their mother, they need to learn to clean up or get out.
 
6. When a guy tells you he is having a “bro night” and then invites a bunch of girls. Excuse me, but since when did those floozies in heels qualify as “bros”?
 
7.If the check comes and he just gives that smile with puppy dog eyes asking you to pay. Like in #3, dating a cheap guy is never the right guy. He needs to show you that he cares, and sometimes that means doing it with his wallet.
 
8. He always seems distracted when he is with you. Whether he is constantly on his phone or just plain not listening, he should WANT to be with you over anything else.
