You might be dating a loser if…

… he has a potty-mouth. If he’s always cursing and making crude comments, he’s not a respectable man, and he doesn’t deserve you.

… he is rude to waitstaff and customer service personnel. If he has the nerve to treat people that way in public, how will he treat you behind closed doors?

… he insists on having sex. If you have chosen to not have sex, he should respect that. If he insists that you put out, by calling you a prude, whining. or using whatever manipulative tactic he can to get his way, then he’s immature and you are better off without him.

… he blames his mistakes on everyone else. None of his problems are his own fault. He will go on and on about how so-and-so did this and that’s why he’s in the predicament he’s in. He probably will blame his problems on whole groups of people such as certain races or political groups. He takes no responsibility for his actions - ever. And guess who’s next on the list for him to blame - YOU.

… he complains about his ex all the time. This is a good sign that he is not over her yet, and he probably isn’t ready for a relationship.

… he doesn’t like your friends. This is his way of saying that he doesn’t agree with your choices. He may try to choose your friends for you. That's a way for him to control you.

… he doesn’t like your family. Unless your family has done some type of harm to you or to him, his goal should be to get along with them, especially in the beginning of the relationship. In the beginning, most people want to connect with their date’s family. If he comes back with a list of complaints after meeting them, keep your eyes open. His goal may be to isolate you from your family so he can abuse you.

… he complains about you to other people. Let's say it gets back to you that he’s gossiping about you behind your back. If you confront him, he will probably lie about it and insist that the other person is making up stories because they have some type of ulterior motive. If you’ve already found him to be a liar, don’t believe him, don’t trust him, and don’t waste any more time on him.

Stay tuned for the final segment of Signs That You're Dating a Loser.
