12. If he’s in his phone more than in your face when on a date or hanging out, MOVE ON – DELETE HIS NUMBER.
Text Messages, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram…if he’s checking all that instead of checking for you, you know where his priorities are. When I go out on a date, I put my cell on silent and hide it out of sight.
13. When on a date/hanging out, place both cells FACE DOWN in middle of the table/bar. First one to touch phone pays for EVERYTHING.
This is a cool trick to force both people on the date to focus on each other without temptation of checking your phone for text messages, etc. An even better option is to place both phones under a hat or under napkins so they are completely out of sight.
14. If you ask to link up with him on Friday, he says he’s busy and DOESN’T suggest an alternative day…Move on, he’s not interested in seeing you.
This is Human Interaction 101. If he’s REALLY stoked about seeing you, he should be either MAKING time to link up with you or at least immediately suggesting his next available day. If not, meeting up with you is not a priority for him.
15. If you only just met, Never Complain about something he’s doing or not doing – If it bothers you that much – MOVE ON.
At this point, he’s not your boyfriend. So why are you stressing yourself out over a guy that is showing you that you’re not compatible? You have two easy choices: Leave him or live with it.
16. If he says, “Friends First” he wants to string you along for a while in case a better option comes along.
True, you want any man that you get into a relationship to also be a friend. But when Gay men say this, they typically mean they want to keep their options open. To them, saying that you’re “dating” implies that you’re already in a relationship, which is far from the case.
17. Inconsistent Behavior = RED FLAG
A pretty face, nice body or just plain loneliness will make our brains ignore clear signs that a guy is either not interested or just plain full of shit. If at any point he demonstrates inconsistencies, consider that possible beginning of the end.
18. Don’t discuss past situations, you’re just telling him all the ways that you’re weak.
Talking about how an Ex took advantage of you, got money out of you or how many times he cheated on you is a bad move. While the guy may not intend on doing the same, he now knows that you’re a naïve pushover.

19. He’s fine and all…But what more does he have to offer?
As Bell, Biv, Devoe once famously said: Don’t trust a big butt and a smile. There’s a lot of attractive men in the world but he’s got to have more to offer than just looks. Options Include: Personality, Education, Financial Security, Goals, etc.
20. Do things together without drugs and/or alcohol.
It’s safe to say that many men have made some poor dating decisions while drinking or smoking marijuana. Oftentimes, red flags and dealbreakers can be missed if you’re ALWAYS under the influence when you’re on a date or hanging out. Try a few sober experiences to see his true colors.
21. NEVER CHASE ANYONE…If he’s always too busy, Move On – Delete The Number.
Men make time for things they really want to do. When it comes to dating a person they are REALLY feeling, they will rearrange their schedule to be able to see or speak to the guy. If you notice that you’re ALWAYS the one initiating contact or unsuccessfully trying to set up a date, he’s not interested, delete his number from your phone – like yesterday.

22. Remain Mysterious/Challenging – Don’t show all of your cards immediately.
One of the most exciting aspects about dating is continually learning about each other. Don’t be so eager to spill it all out in one sitting. Reveal enough to keep the conversation interesting, but don’t spout out your whole life story in one or two conversations.
23. Never go out with a guy with more problems than you!
Seriously. Some “lonely nice guys” out there see a guy with problems and feel the need to save them. Be it money or a place to live or even just computer access to the Internet, losers and users of the world rely on men with lives more together than them for help. Don’t fall into this trap.
24. Never turn down one man for a crush you have on another. The Crush isn’t turning down anyone for you.
Unrequited love is real and affects us all, but most men know how to move on to others that are actually giving them the attention they deserve. Don’t put your life on hold for a movie-like fantasy where the guy not giving you the time of day suddenly falls for you overnight.
25. If you met two or more weeks ago and still no phone conversation or date, Move On – Delete The Number.
You met in person or online and exchanged numbers, then you texted a lot or a little…But that was it, for two weeks. News Flash: The spark isn’t there. If you haven’t actually met or at least had a conversation over the phone, he’s not that into you. Some men like to play games on the phone and string you along with no intentions of dating you…sometimes its out of boredom, but most times its from being borderline sociopaths.
