Signs to look for

You should know that there are simple ways to tell if you’re being played.  Number one as Chris Rock said, if you haven’t met any of his friends or family you are not his girlfriend.   I laughed to, but this is a really big one. 

 

2.                  He says he only uses a cell phone/he has no home phone

3.                  He’s never invited you to his house.

4.                  You run into some of his friends and he doesn’t introduce you.

5.                  You go out and his children or his mother calls every 15 minutes.

6.                  You only go out for breakfast and lunch. (or Starbucks)

7.                  You only get his voice mail after 8pm.

8.                  You’ve been dating more than 6 months and he still doesn’t want to introduce you to his children.  (No he’s not a really concern parent)

9.                  He picks you up in a Mercedes sometimes and other times in a taxi (No his car is not in the repair shop; It’s not his car)

10.              When he says, if I had the money I would take you to Jamaica.  (No, you shouldn’t help him out and charge the trip on your credit card.  He won’t pay you back.)

 

 

I have a male friend that calls me all the time with these stories.  He tells these women these ridiculous lies and they fall for it all the time.  I think its because when he tells them he’s usually sitting in his Mercedes.  He actually tells them if their good he’ll take them to Martha’s Vineyard for the weekend.  You would think that women who work and handle their own would not go for this.  He tried it with a friend of mine once and she told him, I can afford to take myself to Martha’s Vineyard but thanks anyway. 

 

The best story was Tess, this girl really though she had found Mr. Right.  He was the first guy she dated after her divorce.  She bragged to her ex-husband that she was seeing someone.  The whole time this guy is telling me how stupid she is.  He told her that he didn’t allow women at his home because of his daughter.  A friend of hers was looking for a house and she told her that her boyfriend was a realtor.  So she gave him her friends telephone number and he got in touch with her.  The thing is, his office is in his home.  Her friend complimented her, telling her that her boyfriend had a beautiful home.  After her friend realized that she had never seen it.  She started calling him herself.  After all she wasn’t really his girlfriend

 

Once a girl tried so hard to get into his house he let her follow him there after a brief date at Starbucks.  He told her she couldn’t come in because his daughter was home.  The next day she called him and asked what he was doing that afternoon.  He explained he was shopping for a new refrigerator.  (Now that she’s seen the house) She said she was already out and if he wanted she would order one for him.  He told her that the one he wanted was expensive; he wanted a subzero.  She told him she could get it at a discount price.  When he asked her where she told him not to worry about it, she has his address; she’ll have it delivered.   This med school student bought a man a subzero refrigerator and had it delivered to a house she was not allowed to enter.  Can you believe it?  He never paid her for it and of course he suddenly lost interest in her. 

 

What’s really funny is people always ask me why he and I don’t date.
