Truth is, dating can sometimes feel like one long merry-go-round of god awful dates that end before they can even begin, meeting fuckboys masquerading as Prince Charmings, and developing strong connections with potential suitors only for the flame to fizzle out, leaving you to re-watch He’s Just Not That Into You for the 27th time, but hey who is counting. But dating is just a learning experience, and no amount of drive, talent, intellect, and wit can protect you from the multitude of Mr. Wrong’s out there. We’re all basically trapped in a rom-com with characters that run the spectrum from jerks and users to the down-right manipulative.I will be a good guy and give you some information that might help you in you future endeavors in finding your Mr Right, it may be you are looking for him now , later or maybe even never, yes you, the single lady on valentines reading this.
By all costs, if you do know, encounter or even think that you know a guy, lad, boy, a man with the following characteristic, run, call your girlfriends to help you in getting as far away from them as possible.
The “Where’s my hug?” guy: I am actively against giving hugs to people who aren’t in my immediate friend circle, so chances are if you’re asking, “Where’s my hug?” I never intended on giving you one and probably won’t ever. Why? Because the “Where’s my hug?” guy’s hug lasts for way longer than it should. Where’s your hug? Nowhere.
The “Sorry, I fell asleep”guy: Behold, the most common red flag women love to overlook. Allow me to set the scene for you. You’ve been talking to a guy for quite a while now and everything appears to be going well—until it doesn’t. What started off as frequent calls and conversations have quickly turned into frequent excuses, including this classic line, “Sorry, I fell asleep.” He’s just not that into you, sis. Plain and simple.
The one who’s always texting, “U up?” after hours: If you’ve been in the dating limbo long enough, you’ve received the infamous message at some point. Every girl knows the “U up?” guy. To the uninitiated, that line is usually used by a horny soul who wants to determine whether someone is awake and horny He’s the nocturnal texter who never makes any real plans to see you in the daytime, and you love it because you equate attention to love. But not all attention is good attention. Don’t get me wrong, there’s nothing wrong with the message, especially if you’re not interested in cultivating an emotional connection. But for many, the problem is feeling objectified. He could’ve messaged you with actual plans, be it a movie or dinner date, but instead, he’s hitting you up in the wee hours of the morning because he’s horny. He’s treating you as an afterthought and not a priority.
The one whose “sarcasm doesn’t translate in text” : Ah, sarcasm. You’re either good at it or really bad. In the beginning stages of dating someone, it can be hard to gauge your potential suitor’s humor, especially over text. You know this type of dude. His ignorance and politically incorrect statements are masked as humor and he becomes upset when “you don’t get” his jokes. No, you’re just not funny.
The one who keeps sending unsolicited d…. pics: Keep it, you may never know if you may need it for exposure purposes.
