10 signs you should break up with your BF

Relationships can be tough and knowing when to break up with a BF can be even tougher. So how do you know when you’re spending your time with the wrong guy? We’ve got 10 signs that you should stop hanging on to your beau and kick him to the curb.

 

He’s not a Mr. Nice Guy.

Nice guys should always finish first! Don’t keep a BF who disrespects teachers, acts nasty to parents, calls you names or disses your friends. Trade that meanie for a nice guy and you’ll end up in a much happier relationship. 

 

He packs on the pressure.

Your BF should never pressure you into doing anything you don’t want to do, and you should never do anything that makes you uncomfortable. If your BF really cares about you, he’ll respect your decision even if that decision is no.

 

Too much fighting, not enough fun

Relationships should make you happy, not get you down all the time.  If there’s no fun left and all you do is fight, it’s time to either fix the problem or walk away.

 

He hasn’t got the time.

Does he blow off your date nights to hang with his friends, ignore your calls or give you the cold shoulder? If he doesn’t make an effort to set time aside for you, then why are you putting so much effort towards spending time with him?

 

He doesn’t support your goals or have any of his own.

When you tell him about your goal of singing the national anthem at a football game, becoming a veterinarian or getting straight A’s, your boyfriend shouldn’t rolls his eyes and laugh in your face. Your guy should never put you down or make you feel like you can’t make your dreams come true, no matter what they are. You should both have your own goals and should want to succeed together. 

 

He gets controlling.

Your boyfriend shouldn’t be telling you what you can and can’t wear, where you can and can’t go or who you can and can’t hang out with. Time to say sayanora forever to that control freak. You are your own person and can make your own decision; you don’t need a boy telling you what to do.

 

He ALWAYS makes you pay.

We’re not saying a guy should pay for you every time you go out; going halfsies is great and it’s even okay if you volunteer to pay for him every now and then. But if he always makes you pick up the lunch tab, buy his coffee or grab his movie ticket, that’s not okay.

 

Drama with your fam and besties

A guy should always try to get along with the people who are important to you. If he doesn’t care about being nice to your parents or if he avoids being around your friends, then you have a problem. You’re family and friends care about you; if they don’t like your new beau, hear them out! They probably have a good reason.

 

He flirts….with other girls!

Your boyfriend should be flirting with you, not your whole class. Being friendly is okay, but if it goes beyond that, your sweetheart needs to get his flirting under control or it’s time to move on. One more thing: if your BF cheats, kick him to the curb, pronto!

 

He can’t control his temper.

It’s okay to get angry; it’s not okay to yell and curse at someone. And it’s really not okay to throw things or get violent, ever.  If your BF can’t handle his anger in an appropriate way, he’s not the right guy for you.

There's this guy I like and my bff thinks that he likes me too. But whenever we are alone (I guess we're both afraid of saying or doing something stupid) we can't talk or look at each other. My bff usually comes to rescue us and breaks the ice making us feel a little less awkward. But how can I break the awkwardness?

 

 Hey girly, it does sound as if this guy might be crushing on you. Try to strike up a convo about something you guys have in common, maybe a sport, a class, or a fave activity. Diving into a game is also a really great way to break the ice.

Never never go out with a guy with a bad temper. It doesnt mean if he is as nice as could be and has a body to die for, dont do it. At some point his temper will show and it can end up being a bad scene. That is what I have learned.

My BF broke up with me a couple weeks ago and he said he still wanted to be friends. I said okay but at school he totally avoids eye contact! I still like him and still wanna hang out with him but how do I get him to stop not talking to me?
~Thanks!~




Hey girl, you can try talking to him and breaking the ice, but understand too that he might need time to recover from this. Ending a relationship is a big thing and there's a lot of emotions involved. He may need time to settle down and transition (and you too!)

So i like this guy who has a girlfriend. He lives near me so we hang out sometimes. A couple of times if has a little far. Today it went way too far. I reaally like him but he has a girlfriend. And i dont want him to cheat on his girlfriend. Help?!?

 

 

Hey girly, you're right, he shouldent be cheating on his girlfriend. So the best thing to do is find a guy who is available. Plus, if this guy ends up cheating on his girlfriend with you, odds are he'll cheat on you with someone else too. Best to stay away from that mess.

So this might sound stupid, just warning you now. My whole life, I've been an awkward, tall girl. I've always been friends with small, flirty girls. And as you probably guessed, all the guys go for them. Normally, I'd be ok with this, but everytime I like a guy, they go for them. This last time I finally admitted a crush I've had for 8 years, and he went gor(and dated) my friend. So, I'm convinced guys don't really like me. When I like a guy, I'm either loud, awkward, mean, or too polite, I don't know how to talk to guys I like. Any advice? Thanks in advance.

 

Hey kk25225, one thing that might help is to remember that they're human, just like you. They are normal people and nothing to be afraid of. Practice talking to other boys that you don't like, just to get use to conversing with guys. Ever heard fake it till you make it? Pretend to be confident until you actually start to feel it. And no worries girl. There will be some tall guys who will fancy you. Hope this helps! Xoxo
