He Never Refers to You as His Girlfriend:
He’s never once called you his girlfriend though it’s been months since you met and you’ve been seeing each other on and off. You ask him why; he avoids the question. He’s so good at avoiding the question, in fact, that you’ve given up asking. This is a clear sign that you’re not “the one;” you’re just the one who’s handy — if it’s convenient for him and not too stressful. He keeps you on the side until something more exciting comes along or he feels bored.
An actual boyfriend never puts you in this precarious situation in the first place. Having your for his girlfriend makes him feel good. He feels like the lucky one.
He Hates Hanging Out With Your Friends
After a period of three to six months, your girlfriends start asking when they can meet your new man, since they’ve heard so much about him. They’re excited for you. But your guy is never free on those big nights out when your girlfriends beg you to drag him along. Now you find yourself making excuses for his behavior and feel embarrassed. Your girlfriends start probing you about his lack of effort, and you start questioning his motivation.
The guy genuinely interested in you doesn’t leave you in this position; he can’t wait to meet your girlfriends and win their approval. Merging into your life is a priority for him.
Knowing when your man wants you for se x or because he’s actually sincerely interested in you is not tricky to figure out. Trust your gut (and these telltale signs) and love yourself enough to accept the truth when you see it.
