Men accuse us of sending mixed signals and playing games with their hearts all the time. However, they're guilty of it, too. Of course, you shouldn't let men play any games with you. If your boyfriend or crush does any of these things to you, don't waste your time with him:

1. He Uses You for Sex
You're not a sex object. Don't let a man sleep with you if he has no intention of becoming your boyfriend.
2. He Plays Hard to Get
We aren't the only ones who play hard to get. Sometimes, men will pretend they don't have time for us, or that they aren't interested in us, just to keep us interested.
3. He Flirts around
Don't date a player. If he claims he cares about you, then he shouldn't be flirting with every other girl he sees.
4. He Ghosts on You
Some men will treat you like a princess for a while, and then drop out of your life. They'll go MIA and you'll never find out why.
If you're looking to engage your partner in intriguing conversations, why not try some hypothetical questions for couples? These fun queries will not only keep the conversation lively but also stimulate deep thoughts and potentially reveal insights about each other's personality and thought processes.
5. He Lies to You
Some men will flat-out lie to you about everything. They'll fib about where they're going, what they're doing, and how much they love you.

6. He Gives You Backhanded Compliments
Compliments are supposed to be flattering. If he ends up insulting you, then call him out on it. Don't let him be rude.
7. He Breaks up with You All the Time
Your relationship is unhealthy if you break up and get back together again twice a year. You're either together or you're not. Don't keep going back and fourth.
8. He Refuses to Show Interest
Some men will refuse to admit that they have feelings for you. They think that showing interest shows weakness.
9. He Tries to Make You Jealous
Some men will purposely try to make you jealous by talking to other women. If your man does that to you, tell him off. He shouldn't be trying to make you angry.
10. He Gives You Ultimatums
If he tells you that you need to ignore all of your male friends or he'll leave you, then you should be the one leaving him. He should be compromising with you, not giving you ultimatums.
11. He Catcalls Women
If he catcalls other women, why would you date him? It's a form of sexual harassment.
12. He Ignores You
If he won't respond to your text messages, then stop texting him. There's no reason to try to keep in contact with someone who clearly doesn't care about you.
13. He Asks You to Change Your Appearance
He shouldn't ask you to lose weight or wear different types of clothes. He should like you just the way you are.
14. He Booty Calls You
Don't let him call you for random hookups. If he wants to kiss you, he should date you.
15. He Asks to Be Friends with Benefits
Don't be "friends with benefits" if you really want to be "boyfriend and girlfriend." It's not fair to you.
16. He Abuses You
Don't let a man abuse you physically or emotionally. It's not acceptable.
17. He Blackmails You
If he threatens to post your nude pictures online, leave him as soon as you can. He doesn't deserve to be with you.
Don't let a guy play games with your heart. You deserve someone who loves you and won't mess around with your emotions. Has a man ever done any of these things to you?

Comments
Michelle: I have sex with guys with no intention of making them my boyfriend but that doesn't make me a bad person
Melody: We were in a relationship for 3 years not just a random booty call, that is why I didn't understand the ghosting, nothing led up to it.
Liz: You should respect yourself enough not to have random sex. Sex should be an act of love between married people-according to the standard of the Bible (which I aspire to but often fail to attain). This is a statement not a judgement, so don't even go there.
Bitania: #12 & #8 too
Kira: Every tip is great except for the first one! If you, as a woman, want to have sex without labels associated with relationships, you have every right to do so! Have safe sex with whomever you want to!
Terri: I am certainly not being judgmental but being in the healthcare field please use protection
Amber: I really needed this article right now:) very helpful😀
Allyson: Omg this article is so right to the point.
Sh: All men do these anyway 😒
Bunny: So so true thanks for this reminder ♥
