If he’s not holding his own in conversation, if you’re filling the gaps of awkwardness and starting to wonder how to best ease up those moments(without alcohol)…time to go. If he is able to converse well, what’s the conversation about? Sexual innuendos? 🤮 His crazy ex? 🙄 Even worse, verbal hinting at things that point out that he’s not like other guys. Hmmm…you are now.

If he’s not giving you respect showcased by pushing for a more private place for your next date…hinting at his place, your place, a private hike, a long country drive…Well, shouldn’t be a secret what’s he’s really after. He should be giving up on that mentality (really he should never subscribe to it) if he’s in a place in his life where he truly wants to start building a relationship with someone via dating women he genuinely likes and getting to know them slowly. Any indication of a rush to progress things quickly tells you that he’s only willing to expend himself just long enough to obtain the one thing he was ever only interested in from the get go. Those first three dates was the MOST he was going to do, instead of the least.

Finally, if he hasn’t given you indications that he appreciates the effort you spent to join him for these dates by; showing up on time, choosing restaurants that are highly public and within the realm of places you’d enjoy going to, putting forth effort into his own appearance, and he’s insisted on paying…Time to go.
