7 Warning Signs You are Dating a cheater

If you have just dipped your toes in the dating pool, then you need to be a little cautious before plunging yourself headlong into it. It’s essential that you figure out whether the guy who is whisking you on a whirlwind romance is the prince charming you have been waiting for if he is just a smooth Casanova. Sheetal Shaparia a life coach and relationship expert, puts down tell-tale signs that will help you makeup your mind.  

He’s too good to be true

As women, words tend to emotionally move us. We like to hear them well-coated with sugar, and a Casanova is great at playing sweet. "If you think he treats you “extra” good, calls you nicknames all the time and makes you feel on the top of the world, there might be something fishy. He does that to give you constant consolation that he cares," says Sheetal.The easiest way to spot a potential cheater is to see if he is too good to be true.

Restricted communication

A normal relationship usually consists of sincere conversations. It’s wonderful when you can share common goals, plans, dreams and your past comfortably. A womaniser isn’t the one who is really interested in all these points. Your talks usually contain superficial information and are restricted to questions like “How’s your day?”

Avoids getting too personal

A womaniser will disclose very little information about himself. He will often talk more about you and less about him. "For starters, if after a few months of your relationship you still have no idea about his occupation, life goals and his family, it’s high time to bother. He might as well keep you away from his phone and not mention “us” (you and him) while he talks about the future," says Sheetal.

Won’t show you off in public

He’s often more distant towards you when people are around. He won’t make it obvious in public that he is in love with you. If he’s a womaniser he will neither show you off in public nor will he introduce you to his family. If he meets someone he knows and he does not bother to make an introduction, that’s another sign.

Makes empty promises

He will pretend to care about you and make multiple promises but will not remember them. "The only reason he makes promises is to make you feel that he’s willing to change certain things for you but never does. He might even  at times ghost you after promising something," adds Sheetal.

Does not contribute much to matters concerning you

If you think that your partner does not really have much to say about your real life, then that's reason enough to worry. "It won’t bother him what your future plans are or if something is bothering you because that’s not what he is in it for," quips Sheetal.

Is more into your looks than your personality

Well, to make it very clear he is never even going to notice your personality. "He is only in it for your looks, he’s just attracted to you for your beauty, and he DOES NOT love you. Once, he loses interest he will vanish," says Sheetal.
