1. He stops putting in the effort.
If you’re always driving to him, making the plans, or always the first one to start a conversation, then he doesn’t deserve you. His actions should be much louder than his words. If his lovey dovey compliments are the only thing keeping you in the relationship, then you need to rip off those rose tinted glasses and see him for the lazy bum that he is.
2. He turns dates into group hangs.
Being friends with his friends can be an important part of a relationship, but if he’s often letting his friends come over when it’s just the two of you that’s a bad sign. It could mean that he doesn’t want to sacrifice any of his social life for you, which isn’t fair if you’re doing it for him. Relationships are about give and take. Hanging out with his friends could be an indicator you’re a big part of his life, or you’re just one of the bros.
3. He no longer wants to pay for dates.
I’m all for splitting the bill, but when he refuses to go to the movies because he doesn’t want to pay for it that’s not a good sign. If he never wanted to go to the movies, then it’s not a big deal. On the other hand, if he used to be all for going to the movies, then he’s pulling away.
4. He spends a lot of time on his phone.
We all are addicted to our phones, but it’s well known that it’s rude to be glued to your phone when you’re talking with someone. He could be comfortable with you and doesn’t see it as a problem, but if he’s constantly checking his phone that could mean he’s loosing interest.
5. He makes you feel like arm candy.
It’s nice to be shown off and feel special, but if all he does is brag about you that could be a sign that he’s staying with you so he can impress his friends. No one likes to be put on a pedestal.
6. He has lame excuses for not seeing you.
You’ll make plans, but then he texts you an excuse at the last minute is a red flag. If he turns one errand, like getting an oil change, turn into an all day thing that’s a sign he’s not interested in hanging out. You shouldn’t waste your time with someone who doesn’t even take the time to come up with a good excuse.
7. He starts picking fights.
If things that used to never bother him all of a sudden start a fight, then he’s possibly trying to find a way out. Some guys are scared of being the one to end the relationship, so they’ll try to provoke you to do the dirty work. If he even suggests that you shouldn’t be together anymore or you’re not good fit for one another, just end it and move on. There’s almost no way to move past that kind of argument.
8. He lies about being busy.
Everyone has their own life. and it’s hard to have a healthy balance, but if he’s posting on Snapchat and not responding to your texts, that means he’s loosing interest. You shouldn’t waste your time with someone who claims to not have 30 seconds to send a text.
9. He starts body shaming you.
You should never stay with a guy who makes you feel insecure. If he ever starts making hurtful comments, dump him immediately
10. He brings up his ex out of nowhere.
Normally people will bring up an ex at some point, but if he brings an ex up frequently, that usually means he’s not over her. It’s also a red flag if he has gifts from an ex, like a teddy bear, on display. It’s a huge red flag if he won’t shut up about an ex and in a very negative light. No one wants to be a rebound. From personal experience, guys who act this way usually go back to their ex.
