Ladies, you wanna know the kind of man you are involved with and how to deal
with it, then this article is for you winks. Enjoy…
Pickup Pete
Pickup Pete is extremely confident and self-assured when it comes to dating. He spends his time reading books on how to meet women and testing out the techniques. He is charming and attentive but enjoys the single life too much to commit.
Spot him: He’ll NEVER seem nervous or flustered, and will always have a stock line in any situation.
Deal with him: If you’re not looking for long-term, Pete can be a dream come true.
He’ll make you feel like you’re the most beautiful, fascinating girl in
the world, and he is the perfect cure for a bad break-up. Enjoy having
him around for a year but if he fails to mention the future after that,
end it.
Timewaster Trev
Timewaster Trev uses the latest dating apps to give his ego a boost –
for him, it’s all about the attention his online profile gets. In
reality, he actually lacks confidence which is why he is unable to hold
down a relationship and usually strings girls along until he gets bored.
He will turn up late to dates and spends most of the time checking the
hits on his dating profile.
Spot him: His online dating profile is active 24/7. He makes last-minute plans, and you’ll be sure to receive sporadic texts from him when you least expect to.
Deal with him: Strict
boundaries will protect you. Don’t accept dates with less than two days
notice, and end things after three months if he hasn’t introduced you to
his friends.
Friend Zone Fred
Friend Zone Fred lacks confidence and always ends up as just a friend.
He treats women with respect but finds that he is usually the shoulder
to cry on. You won’t find Friend Zone Fred on dating websites; he finds them too daunting.
Spot him: After five dates, he still hasn’t tried to kiss you. Or if he has, he asked permission first.
Deal with him: He is perfect
husband material but his self-confidence just needs a bit of a boost.
Try complimenting him – this may just be the assurance he needs to
escape the Friend Zone.
Shy Simon
Shy Simon is an introvert and finds it very difficult to talk to women. Simon would love a girlfriend but assumes that he is not
attractive enough and retreats into his own world in order to protect
himself from getting hurt. He stays at home instead of going out and
does not have a large group of male friends as he tends to be
overshadowed by larger personalities.
Spot him: He’s the man you
feel isn’t interested in you, yet is always hanging around. He may often
give you one-word answers if you try to strike up a conversation.
Deal with him: Make it easy
for him to ask you out – mention a film you’d love to see, or a new bar
you’d like to visit. Patiently wait while he stammers out a compliment.
Ask his advice on things, then tell him how much you appreciate it.
Clingy Clive
Clingy Clive spends too much time worrying and too little time enjoying
himself. The relationship starts positively but his lack of confidence
soon gets the better of him and he can end up scaring women away.
Spot him: He sends five
texts on the way home after a first date. He sulks if you don’t return
calls or messages within five minutes. He calls you his girlfriend after
two weeks.
Deal with him: This kind of
behaviour can make you feel special initially but long-term, it could be
a nightmare. Make sure that you lay down the ground rules from the
get-go – this could break a bad habit immediately. No incessant calls or texts allowed.
