Signs You are Dating a Player; Watch out for sign number 7

Finding the love of your life has never been an easy venture, we go through ups and downs, chucks and mending. That is always part of life! Even Meghan Markle went through a lot before she met her prince!

You might need to “kiss” a few more “frogs” before you could finally reach your ‘Mr. Right’. However the issue is thinking you have reached when actually you still cuddling yet another frog!

Modern love is full of drama and pretense that it could take you years and cost you a lot (Time and resources) before you realize it was only a game.

The more time you commit into an unhealthy relationship, the deeper the wounds of the ‘love destruction’.

It is better to find out as soon as possible and to do that, You will need to acquaint yourself with a few if not all player tricks from some of the best psychologists’ below;

 

• Watch out for over-confidence.Healthy self-confidence is great, but there’s a difference between being confident and being cocky. If you think this guy seems a little too confident in his efforts to win you over, it could be because he’s had plenty of practice.                                                                                                 Most people become at least a little nervous around people they’re attracted to. A confident guy isn’t necessarily a player, but if he doesn’t break a sweat while asking you out or seems rather aloof about the whole deal, he might not be that serious about you.
• Calculate the age gap. If the man is old enough to be your father, it could be a bad sign. Older players who are set in their ways frequently target younger, less experienced women who are easier to trick.

1. Not every older man is a player, of course, but if there’s a huge age gap and he exhibits other signs of being a player, that age gap may work against him.
2. Similarly, not every player is an older man. There are plenty of young players out in the world, too.

• Glance at the phone.When he’s texting someone, lean in his direction and peek at his phone. You don’t even need to see the screen; in fact, you’ll learn more by keeping your eyes on him. If the guy’s a player, he’ll probably yank his phone away faster than you can blink.

1. Moreover, if he’s always on his phone or looks at it more than he looks at you, that could be another bad sign.
2. This piece of advice isn’t an invitation to swipe his phone and look at his call log, though. Many people view that as an invasion of privacy, and even guys who aren’t players might get upset at the breach of trust. You usually won’t need his text or call history as evidence, anyway, since being overprotective of his phone is a bad enough sign on its own.

 

• Track him down. Pay attention to the places he frequents when you’re not around. If he still visits the same spots he went to when he was single and picking up women, there’s a good chance that he’s still in the habit of charming the ladies there.

1. This does not mean that you should stalk him. A healthier way to find out where he’s going is ask around and find out who might’ve seen him and where he was when it happened. You could also try visiting the spot you met him on an evening he might be there.

• Beware of flattery.Honest compliments are sweet, but you probably shouldn’t trust someone who’s quick to flatter you to an excessive degree. Players often rely on this sort of “sweet talk” to win over women.
• Pay attention to the types of compliments he gives you. If they’re general, overused compliments that could apply to nearly any woman—beautiful hair, gorgeous smile, etc.—it could be a sign that he isn’t putting much thought into who you are and what makes you special. You should also be cautious around men who specifically compliment your insecurities.
• Similarly, most players are quick to address you with one or more pet names, like “honey,” “sugar,” and “baby.” Pet names that develop after extended relationships are usually okay, but be wary around guys who use pet names from day one.

• Don’t dismiss dishonesty.Players are also liars. Catching him in the middle of a lie can be difficult, but when you do, you shouldn’t shrug it off. This is especially true if he’s lied to you more than once.

• Lies about his past, where he spent time recently, or who he’s been with are some of the most common ones to watch out for.
• If you’re suspicious about something and confront him about it, watch his reaction. Players will generally try to laugh it off and change the topic. When that doesn’t work, they may admit to the truth but somehow blame you for their lie.

 

• Consider the player’s life story.Most players are egotistical, so they’ll start talking about themselves before you even have the chance to ask. If a guy hasn’t shared much about his own life, though, ask him about it and watch for inconsistencies.

• Everyone wants to look good in front of someone they’re attracted to, but the player will usually look a little too good. If his life story seems scripted and too good to be true, it probably is.
• Pay attention to the details. If some of the details don’t match up, it could be an indication that he’s lying about who he is.
• Talk about past relationships.Ask about his past relationships and talk about yours. These conversations provide the player with opportunities to manipulate your feelings.
• He may ask about your past relationships and fixate on the insecurities you felt during those times. By knowing what makes you insecure, he can figure out how to work that to his advantage.
• When talking about his own past relationships, he may leave out many of the details but stress that he’s been hurt in the past. A quick mention of past hurts may not be bad, but if he plays it up to evoke pity from you, it may be another manipulation tactic.
• Defend your own innocence. Players will often accuse the women they’re seeing of cheating on them. Usually, this is done in an attempt to steer the attention away from their own guilt and their own cheating ways.
• Avoid hot-and-cold behavior.Players are inconsistent in their affections and may sway from one extreme to the other. You may not hear from him in weeks, and then suddenly, he’ll start bombarding you with more attention than you can handle.
• During “cold” periods, there’s a good chance that he’s spending his time with other women and is too busy with them to bother with you.
• During his “hot” periods, he’s either lost his other options or lost interest in them. As a result, he returns to you in an effort to fill the void.
• Don’t rush things.  A player only cares about your body—and, more precisely, whether or not he gets to enjoy it. One of the best ways to weed out the players is to take things slow with every guy you meet. Players won’t have the patience to stick around.

 

• Take it public.If you’re in a relationship with a player, you’re probably not the only woman he’s seeing. Making your relationship public will make it easier for his lies to be exposed to both you and the other women, and for that reason, he’ll usually reject the idea of being public about it.

• The way he treats you in public will be one good indication. If he refuses to treat you with any special affection or treats you just as affectionately as other women, it might be his way of keeping your relationship a secret. To that end, he might also avoid spending time with you in certain places if he thinks there’s a better chance of being caught there.
• Check social media accounts, too. If he refuses to be “friends” or “followers” with you, or if he never responds to any public comments you make toward him, it could be a sign that he’s trying to hide your relationship. Refusing to update his “relationship status” might be another social media clue.

 

• Ask for opinions.Ask around about the guy and find out if there are any rumors about him. People in his own social circle might cover for him, but anyone who isn’t attached to him won’t have a need to do so.

• Ask your close friends to do their own investigating on your behalf, as well. They probably have a few connections you don’t have, and one of those connections might have helpful information.
• You could even consider talking with the guy’s ex-girlfriends, but do so with caution. Some exes will intentionally paint a bad picture as an act of revenge. Additionally, an ex-girlfriend who believes that you “stole” the guy away from her may take out her negative feelings on you.
