Signs They’re Not Ready For A Relationship
There are so many fish in the sea, so you don't need to focus on someone who isn't good for you.
With so many options out there, you should feel safe leaving someone behind if they show signs of being a bad partner. Since there are a handful of these indicators, keep reading to determine the type of people you should stay away from when finding a partner.
They Don't Want To Put A Label On It
If the person you're currently talking to doesn't want to add a title to your "situationship," he or she isn't worth your time. You want someone happy to be with you, not someone who hesitates to call you theirs.
They Use Baggage As An Excuse All The Time
Sure, a lot of us have baggage before getting into a relationship. Some have it dealt with before becoming serious with someone, but you also have others using the past a crutch. If someone brings up their past trauma as an excuse all the time, excuse yourself from that person.
They Compare You To Their Ex
Why would you want someone who compares you to their past relationships, or even to their celebrity crush? That shows that they wish you were someone else and not yourself, and that's not a good sign for a relationship.
They Treat You Like An Inconvenience
Do you get the vibe that your person thinks you're bothersome? It probably isn't a coincidence, as he might think you're annoying. If that's the case, don't even consider moving forward with him.
They Twist Your Words To Make You The Villain
If she twists your words around to make you out to be the bad guy, you don't need that energy in your life. Recognize that this is a toxic trait and one that you don't want.
They Always Think You're Overreacting
Everyone has feelings, so you shouldn't be afraid to express yours. Someone who makes you think you're overreacting when you speak your truth isn't someone you need in your life.
They're Afraid To Show You Off
Unless this person is a celebrity of some kind, he or she shouldn't mind showing you off on social media or in public. If either of those is an issue for them, you have to stop and think if that's what you want.
They Only Reach Out When They Want Something
Getting used is no fun, but it's something that might slip under your radar if you're not looking for it. If someone only reaches out to get something from you, that isn't someone you should be in a relationship with at all.
They Tell White Lies
Someone who tells white lies is someone that can hide even bigger things. Leaving out details and fibbing are two things you don't want to cultivate in a committed relationship.
They Make You Feel Insecure
Your partner is supposed to uplift you, not bring you down. If he or she makes you feel insecure about yourself, then you should figure out why that is. In the meantime, you should leave that person alone.
Do They Want To Meet Your Family And Friends?
Someone who doesn't care to meet your close friends or family members probably has no interest in taking things to the next level. If you're looking for something serious, you can write them off.
They Only Want To Talk About One Thing
You try and have a civil conversation with this person, but that's not what's on their mind. After about two or three minutes, they turn the conversation towards the bedroom. It's fine to have a healthy libido, but it shouldn't be the only reason they talk to you.
They Expect You To Initiate All The Communication
A relationship is a two-way street, so one person shouldn't be the one initiating all of the things. If that's what she wants from you, that isn't anyone who's ready to settle.
They're Too Busy To Respond
Everyone keeps their phone in their hands these days, or if not actually in their hands, then at least near their body. How is he too busy to respond to your messages? Disregard him if he does this but still has time to post on social media.
They're Not Willing To Compromise
A healthy relationship will have both parties compromising. There's no escaping it, so you should be with someone who doesn't mind a compromise. Going the opposite direction won't end well for you.
They Control What You Wear
Someone who controls what you wear is manipulative. This mainly applies to the men who don't want their women wearing anything too revealing. Sure, they might have some brilliant excuse as to why they think that way, but don't let it fool you.
They Blame Things On Other People
No matter how much it was their fault, this person still finds a way to blame someone else. You don't want anyone who can't take accountability for their mistakes or actions.
They Make And Break Promises
Do you enjoy it when someone lies to you? If so, then stay with the person who keeps breaking promises. Someone who does that won't hesitate to keep getting your hopes up.
They Flirt With Others
Maybe they hid it while getting to know you, but now you notice that he flirts with other ladies. If he can do it in front of you, he'll do it behind your back. This applies to women as well.
They Throw Tantrums When Something Goes Wrong
People who think the world is over when the smallest thing goes wrong don't need a relationship, they need help. There are bigger issues out there, and you shouldn't have to help them deal with their rage issues every time the barista gives them soy milk instead of whole.
