Have you ever wanted something to work out so badly that you became somewhat delusional, avoiding the signs that what you wanted wasn’t really what you needed?  If you have, chances are, you aren’t the only one. Many women can agree that when it comes to relationships, we’re all guilty at one point of falling in love with the idea of a man instead of the actual person.

Maya Angelou said it best, “When someone shows you who they are, believe them,” and this is certainly true in relationships. If he says one thing but his actions prove another, believe his actions instead.

Still, for a closet hopeless romantic it’s easy to ignore the signs that show you and this individual won’t click well in the future. These signs don’t necessarily mean he’s not a good guy, just not the guy for you.  In an attempt to find love, here are some of the most obvious, yet ignored signs, that say he’s not the man for you.

    Not really getting the whole “skipping the honeymoon phase is bad”. A lot of us tend to get so distracted by it that we don’t see beyond it. I didn’t truly fall in love with my husband until after we were married–up until then, I was making sure we met each other’s qualifications.

    Also be on the lookout if he makes disparaging comments about women (especially if he narrows it down the black women) on the regular but says that doesn’t apply to you…because if he gets mad at you, EVERYTHING WILL APPLY! He probably doesn’t want a woman to begin with, if you know what I mean.

    It’s so hard to determine if a relationship goes well when it’s a long distance

    I had a male friend who was single ever since I had known him. He had lots of female friends, but none that wanted to date him. We often tried to fix him up with other women. He finally asked one of us, “Why are you all always trying to fix me up with someone else?” Her response was, “I just hate to see a good brother go to waste.”

    • Yeah….OK

      Was he gay?? I mean……that could always be a possibility this day and age I know there are picky guys like there are girls but most guys will at least chill and date around while women will stay single because let’s face it ni66as will try your patience in the dating game and it’s easier for women to say single rather than deal with fools and sleezeballs. But I don’t know about men, thats strange most dudes are getting theirs from “somewhere”. I’m crushing on a guy now that I’m a lil suspect about too because he seems like a great guy but he doesn’t date much and i always see him around women and talking suggestively to girls but never actually heard of him long term dating anyone so hey I’m keeping my eyes OPEN!! Lol If I know what’s good for me.

      Its very possible that he is feeling you but dont think you are interested in him that way. That tends to prevent people from making a move.
