You want your boyfriend to be perfect, right? Ever dated someone and every single little thing he did turned you off? You want your boyfriend to be everything you envisioned and when he’s not, you start to contemplate what made you like him in the first place! Was it that gorgeous smile or was it his intellect? Regardless, you’re noticing he’s not the guy for you. So here are 5 red flags that’ll help you make up your mind on if he’s going to be your next ex or your ideal Prince Charming.
1. He doesn’t motivate you!
If your potential boyfriend or current boyfriend doesn’t motivate you to be a better you, then what is he around for? You should want to be with someone who pushes you towards your dreams, not away from them. You know those long nights when you want to give up studying to go hangout with your friends? He should be there to get you back on the right track. If he’s not trying to be the Jay-Z to your Beyoncé… Dump him. Quick!
2. He’s not reliable!
If he’s the last person you think to call when you have an emergency, then what is he around for? No, really? You should always be able to call him and ask him to help you out. If he doesn’t come through for you ever, you might want to reconsider that cutie.
3. He’s controlling!
If he’s trying to keep you to himself every single second of the day, something might be a little weird about him. He shouldn’t be trying to tell you what to do, what to wear, who to hang out with, and where to go! All those decisions are solely up to you and no one else. It’s always great for a relationship to do things separately and come back together at the end of the day to talk about it.
4. He’s not supportive!
It’s always good for couples to have different interests. But when one person starts to belittle the other’s interests, things can go sour quickly. He’s not interested in going thrifting with you, doesn’t want to go to the Beyoncé concert with you or it seems like he doesn’t really care about the aspects of your life that make you, YOU! When you openly sit there and watch football with him, you expect the same thing in return. Relationships are all about give and take!
5. He doesn’t make you feel loved
Every girl wants to feel like her man is proud to have her on his arm! Like Kanye and Future said: “I found me a trophy.” You want your man to feel the same! If it means making you his #WCW or holding your hand in public, your man should always make you feel like you can be the princess to his prince charming.
