15 Dating red flags in men

Dating in this day and age is a daunting and even traumatic experience for many. I can’t keep up with the myriad of new dating terms encapsulating the harsh realities of the dating world. There are decent guys out there, but you have to kiss a hell of a lot of frogs and learn many difficult lessons.

In this article, I will share some behaviours from my vast experience of dating that you should be wary of. I think the main thing is if you have doubts, don’t dismiss them or believe that you’re the issue. I know that some of these red flags may seem obvious, but it can also be easy to dismiss or try to rationalise these things especially when you’re really into someone.

Whilst nobody is perfect and we’ve all got qualities that people find irritating, if you’re dating somebody and their actions are making you unhappy and frustrated most of the time, it may be best to trust your instincts and call it quits. Some behaviors are inherently selfish and lead to lack of success in terms of having a loving and fulfilling relationship. These behaviors stem from the refusal to deal with past trauma, narcissism and emotional immaturity.
