Ladies, let's all be honest here, there are like 25,000,000 reasons to leave that boy in your past. Just in case you need a reminder, I'm here for you.
1.) He's probably a real scumbag
This is a little abrupt, I know, but honesty is key. You won't be able to see it due to the rose-colored glasses you're wearing. In your head, he's great. I know. I've been there 815 times. If you're reading this and you think he's great, he's not. Sorry not sorry, girl.
2.) You definitely aren't the only girl he's talking to
This is SO important. If he's constantly on his phone when you're together, but not playing stupid iPhone games, he's talking to other girls. There's no way to beat around the bush. However, there's two ways to go about handling the situation. You can either: a.) confront him to his stupid face and be like, "yo who you talking to?" or (this is what I do) b.) let the anger build and then mess everything up. It's worth messing it up in the end, trust me.
3.) He doesn't care about hearts and flowers
This is one is kind of a given nowadays. We all know what teenage/college boys want. I'm not gonna say it (mostly because my family is gonna read this) but you guys catch my drift. The best way to avoid this is to, obviously, not do anything you don't want to. This will probably end with him randomly not texting you anymore, but hey, at least you didn't get emotionally attached (aka me).
4.)He never texts you first/answers you
My biggest pet peeve is when I obviously know someone's read my text and they choose to not text me back. Like just tell me you're busy, it's not that hard, dude. Anyway. Leave him in your past if you ALWAYS text him first or send him at least 15 texts in a row with no response. It's annoying to be waiting all day for someone who clearly is fine without you. That was a little harsh, I'm sorry for that one.
5.) He gets mad over the stupidest things
Have you ever been having a great conversation with the guy you're talking to and you say something sarcastic and next thing you know, they're on a two week "break from social media"? Because same, girl. Take it from me, don't try to get them to talk to you, because they'll have no problem ignoring everything you try to do. My advice is to send them the text (that they'll ignore) and tell them you're done. I wish I would've done that to begin with.
6.) Making plans with him is next to impossible
They have excuses as to why they can't come over or why they can't stay. I'll give guys a little (and I mean a little, like basically the smallest amount) of credit with how creative they get with they're excuses. Like where do you come up with these? I bet there's a group chat somewhere that all guys are in where they share different reasons to leave/not hangout.
7.) He never picked up his stuff
Say you and "Mr. Perfect" didn't work out but he left stuff in your room. No one wants to look at the shirt you used to wear because it smelled like him. My advice (from my sister), throw that shit away. He didn't want to come get it, so clearly it didn't mean anything to him. Throw it away and feel so much better. Side note: you'll feel really bad at first but just think about how he treated you and you'll get over it real quick.
8.) He won't introduce you to his friends
This one, man. Gets me right in the feels. He met all your friends and even your family. Have you met his? Nope. I don't know exactly why guys don't want to introduce you to people, but my guess is probably you're way cooler than him and he's scared they'll like you better than him. Just a feeling.
9.) He doesn't like your pictures or answer your snaps
There's nothing worse than posting a bomb selfie on Instagram, getting 28+ likes and none of them being the guy you're talking to. On the other hand, seeing said guy opened your snap two hours ago and never replied also sucks. My advice, say "I don't need you" or "I'm a smart, strong, sensual woman." -Tina Belcher
10.) You always pay for dinner
Like most Americans, pizza is an essential part of my life so I want it all the time. Buying the first time? No big deal. Every time after that? Yeah, no thanks. Me and my coupons are gonna find someone who'll at least split the bill with me. I suggest you do the same.
11.) Your friends don't like him
They tried to tell me, sorry guys. You're friends are almost as helpful as your family when it comes to guys, except your family will pretend to be nice around him. Your friends want him to know they don't like him or his stupid face. All I can say is listen to them, they're usually right.
12.) There are plenty of fish in the sea
I know, this is so cliche, but it's true (even though I'm so single that it hurts). Part of dating is dating multiple people (not at the same time), and seeing what you like and what you don't like. Be patient, young grasshopper.
13.) He's not worth your tears
If a guy has you sitting alone in your room, listening to the new Ed Sheeran album and crying, LEAVE. Nobody is ever ever ever worth your tears. Your tears are for puppies and sad movies. Take it from me, I've wasted plenty of tears on guys and it wasn't worth it. Did crying bring them back to being with me? Nope, so don't cry for the guy who is saying whatever you want to hear, because he's just gonna move onto the next one. So, basically, don't cry because boys suck.
14.) You deserve way better
If you're still not convinced you should leave the guy who checks all these boxes, why are you still reading this? If you are convinced, good! You'll be better off without his negativity in your life. You won't see it right away, it could take months. But once he's completely cut off, you'll feel 110 times better. The last piece of advice I have is to just wait. Wait patiently because the right guy for you is out there, probably getting his heartbroken by some girl and looking for you. Patience is key, my friends.
