Showmances: 17 Signs You’re Dating a Dirtbag

Dating is strikingly similar to an episode of CSI--it usually involves serious detective work, in-depth investigation and lots of time spent deciphering clues. While the beginning of every relationship should feel very easy and enjoyable, oftentimes the biggest signs of a crime to come (i.e. stolen heart and fleeing the scene) occur in the early stages. If you lost your sterilized swabs and have misplaced your forensic fingerprint kit, fear not, these are the top 17 signs you’re dating a dirtbag:

1757596641.) Minimal Messaging

If your celly shows no signs of life (no missed calls or neglected text messages), odds are your hero is a zero. Falling in love with someone often happens in the spaces of time between seeing each other and thoughtful electronic messages keep the fire burning.

2.) Go On

If they tell you flowery and flattering things, like they want to be “Facebook official” (but the request never comes) or they claim their family will “soon” hear all about you, or their road trippin’ best friend will meet you and none of it transpires, they’re just stringing you along.158338343

3.) He Loves Me, He Loves Me Not

If the guy you’re dating tells you he’s in love and for any reason retracts it, backpedals it, or tries to nullify it, he’s a total d-bag. If the wind changes and they no longer love you, they’re battling a serious case of skeez.

4.) Bait and Switch

If your guy or gal pal wants to spend the entire weekend together and then is back to online dating that same week, he or she is totally fishing to replace you.

5.) Commit or Quit

If you’ve been out together for over a month, and have increased the amount of interactions, and you still aren’t bf/gf, and they will only say vague and mysterious things like they aren’t, “seeing other people,” run, don’t walk out the door.

6.) Convenient Epiphanies

If things in your relationship are going swimmingly and suddenly your sweetie wakes up one morning and out of nowhere things,”don’t feel right” — what doesn’t feel right is that you’re dating an a**hole.

7.) Promises, Promises

If you ask them lots of questions about their feelings about relationships, and they claim they’re a”faithful monogamist” but evidence points otherwise, ditch the dud. Trust is earned, not given.

8.) Avalanche of Emotions

If your guy or girl cries (or almost) during sex, tells you that they’re “crazy about you” and how they can’t concentrate at work because they’re thinking about you all day, but they display other shady behavior, be cautious. The person you’re dating could be overly emotional as a way to convince you of their fake feelings.

9.) Blame Game

If they’re suddenly battling depression demons, or their family is bothering them, or their job is causing mega-stress and any of this is dampening burgeoning feelings for you, they’re just disguising a desire to break-up.

10.) LiarPantsonFire.com

If I had a dollar for every time a guy told me he logged onto his online dating account to check on “important notifications” or to “cancel” (how creative!) as an excuse for why he’s cyber surfing for new chickadees, I’d be a millionaire. If you’ve been dating for a while, and you’re seeing each other a few times a week and he’s still on the hunt, he’s a coward and a cheater.

Note: Do investigate online activity closely. I did date a guy past the month marker who I was getting relationship-y with and noticed he was active over a weekend…he claimed he “cancelled” his account and went on to prove it! He had the time-stampped good-bye emails and I was able to view the messages directly in his inbox  (thanks, Joe). If he has integrity and is a stand-up guy, it will be obvious. 

11.) Capture the Cad

If they have no real regret or remorse about being caught pussy prowling online, flirting with other girls/guys, or creating new momentum with an ex, they’re not a quality long-term dating prospect.

12.) The Defense Rests

You should NEVER be ashamed of your hobbies, beliefs or values. If the guy/girl you’re seeing makes you defend your love of socializing, family time or watching reality TV, it’s time to bounce. A guy or girl who loves you will embrace and admire the differences between you and themselves (they should never be critical of your passion for baking or fashion or stamp collecting…nor should they be self-righteous about their own beliefs).

13.) Ex-clamation Point

If they still text, call, Skype, email or Facebook their ex, it could trigger unforeseen consequences for your relationship. Make sure the dust has cleared on their old baggage.

14.) Uneasy Street

If they make you feel uneasy about contacting them, asking them things, making your feelings known, or having an opinion, they’re not Mr. or Mrs. Right.

15.) Wedded Bliss

If your significant other questions the institution of marriage, or thinks an engagement ring is vile or evil thing (it’s a sign of love and loyalty, buddy), they need the boot. Anyone who has a terrible attitude toward marriage is not marriage material.

16.) Family Matters

They have no friends, no connection to their family and no social support.

17.) Phon(e)y Behavior

No response is a response, so if it takes them hours to return a text, or even a day or two, they’re blowing you off. Case closed. Book the dirtbag Danno!

  1. Have never believed in the supernatural or talk less of spell or even voodoo.In my head there was nothing on earth that was ever going to get me involved in such thing but life as we know throw s**t at your door and some how the doors opens up and let it strike you.************* About five years ago if anyone had asked me if i trust my twin sister with my life, believe me i would bet my life on it that i can.I couldn't even bring myself to think that my twin sister can put a knife at my back Yes i know everything about our childhood and youth age was always about who is better that who in everything and frankly i was better that me in academic aspect of life.I was smarter more skilled that her but this ought to be no reason to want to have every guy that was dating me or should it? cos the last i checked twin protect themselves not try and hurt the other.That was what my twin sister is all about.Even though we looked identical she was cuter than i was.She had her way around boys more that i did.Like she knew how to get what she want in whatever way she wanted it from both boys and girls.I don't know, she had a way or rather she was good at messing around with peoples brain not like in a psychic way, it was more like all about her body.In other words you can say she was very sexy, attractive and hard to resist.I have always had to work very had to get what i want but she, things just falls in her lap without having to labor for it.She falls for every guy she knows i like.I mean every guy i dated in high school broke up with me to date her and it was really hurtful for me.I thought it was just high school and boys cos in college it wasn't like that and for the first time in forever, not that i thought but the comparison between us over.Some how the old life we had arose again this time it happen that the guy my sister fell for, fell for me and i fell for him also i made sure it was okay with her before i went on the first date with him.I don't want this to seem like a story so i will just cut to the chase.My twin sister was having an affair with my long time boyfriend the every guy one we both fell for but picked me.I mean i only found out the day he told me was no longer want to be with me that he was in love with my twin sister and he has been cheating on me with her.This was after four year of dating.I was heart broken and i wished to God that he had told me he was sleeping with me and my twin sister when our relationship was still young i would have like always, backed down and let them bask in what ever they think they were doing.But no they waited and in the process i fell deeply in love with him.I mean who wouldn't fall for him he was cute caring and always knew what to say at the right time.I know i ought to have been mad at him for what he did but i was more mad at my sister for what she did cos i mean if she had turned him down he would have left her on her own and she was not even sorry for what she did to me. she became my twin sister in high school all again wanting to hurt and ruin my life steal the man i love.Heaven knew i was in love with this guy and hating him was not even an option for me all the hatred was channeled to my twin sister cos some how she made him hers.I lived in pain for a whole year having to see her face every family thanksgiving day with the man i love sitting side by side kissing him and hugging maybe to piss me off or something it only made me hate her more and more desperate to get my boyfriend back.I got him back finally yes i did, but i can fail to say i did not use the normal way. Metodo Acamu help me cast a spell to kill their relationship and rekindle ours to how we were before they started their affair.In case you asking asking yourself how possible it is believe me i don't know and won't tell you i understand cos like i said i never in my life thought it would result to me using a spell or something but there is one thing i know is that the spell worked for me and made my love fall in love with me again.There not much i can say to emphasize how the spell worked all i know is that i was asked to get some materials for the spell of which i was to buy and go present the materials myself to Metodo Acamu or send over or send the expenditure to him to get the materials need for the spell.To me it was less expensive to wire the cash to him to get the materials cos they are the expert in it.But i know in the end METODO ACAMU pulled through with the spell and made me whole again.Like honestly my main purpose for writing this was to let those out there know that other comment about METODO on the internet is really cos here i am tell you my story it can get anymore real than it is already.I can never forgive my twin sister even though i have got my love back.Use this email address as METODO ACAMU contact metodoacamufortressx@yahoo.com
