Dating is supposed to bring happiness into your life, but some women can cause you unnecessary stress.
Drama magnet
This woman is always in the middle of a crisis. Whether it’s drama with her friend, drama at work, or drama with some stranger on the street, there’s always tea to be spilled.
If she runs her life like a serial drama, chances are she will write you into her script as the villain.
Constant critic
You can never do anything right in her eyes. She’s finding fault in your clothes, your hobbies, and even the way you talk. Your partner should be your biggest cheerleader, not someone who’s always judging you.
Ex-obsessed
She may love him or hate him, but she can’t stop talking about her ex-boyfriend. If you find yourself in every conversation she has about what her old boyfriend did or did not do for her, it’s time to run.
Find someone who wants to create something new with you, rather than dwell on old relationships.
Financial dependent
Let’s be honest. Sometimes, we all need some financial assistance.
But if your girlfriend demands you spend money on her every time you go on a date and shows no interest in paying her way ever, she may be banking on you as her primary source of income.
Ghoster
One day, she’s sending you endless texts telling you how much she loves you. The next, you don’t hear from her for a week. If you’re wondering where she is or how her day was, then she’s guilty of hot and cold communication.
She either needs to tell you that she wants to take things slow or open up about what she wants. If she won’t do that, she’s not ready for a relationship.
Jealous type
Jealousy in moderation is cute. If she starts checking your phone when you’re not looking or getting mad when you hang out with your friends, she has some serious trust issues. Being with her will feel like being trapped in a jail cell.
Narcissist
Her life revolves around her, and she wants everyone around her to think the same. You can mention your stressful day at work and instantly she turns it into a conversation about how her day was ten times worse.
If she can only focus on herself, she will never be supportive when you need her to.
Controller
Not only does she want to know where you are at all times, but she wants to control who you can hang out with and what you can do with your free time.
Although this behavior might not seem aggressive at first, she will want more control as time goes on. You’ll slowly begin to feel more and more detached from your friends and family.
Comparison queen
She is always comparing you to her favorite celebrity couples on Instagram.
If you don’t take her to fancy restaurants or buy her the same bouquet of flowers that some actor’s assistant bought their celebrity online, she makes you feel inadequate. Your relationship is never good enough for her.
Victim
She never blames herself for anything. Her boss is toxic, her parents are horrible, and all of her exes are psychos. If she can’t take responsibility for her mistakes, she will never be able to apologize when she wrongs you.
No goals
She doesn’t have any future plans and couldn’t care less about self-improvement. Maybe she hops from job to job without any effort or stays at one job for years with no ambition to do anything more with her life.
It’s nice to take life laid back sometimes, but if she has no goals, then she’s going to want you to do all the heavy lifting and planning.
Secret keeper
You’ve been dating for months, but you still don’t know her friends, and you know very little about her everyday life.
If she seems reluctant to share the small things with you, what is she hiding? There is no trust or transparency in this relationship.
Serial flirter
She’s always flirting with other people, even when she’s right in front of you. She flirts with the waiter at dinner, her co-workers or strangers online just to feel better about herself.
She may tell you that she’s just being friendly, but if she wants to flirt with everyone else, what makes you think she’ll give you her undivided attention and respect?
High maintenance
This woman expects you to take care of her and provide her with an extravagant lifestyle, but is unwilling to do the same for you.
If she freaks out because your date wasn’t pricey enough or you forgot to suck up to her, she is probably only interested in your wallet.
Commitment phobe
She loves all the benefits of a relationship but hates when you get too serious. If she tells you she hates labels or wants to take things slow after you have been together for a long time, it’s time to end the relationship.
