Are You Being Played Online? 7 Ways to Catch An Online Player
Look I’m not proud of this. I’m really not. But there was once a time in my life where I was so out of control with the amount of women I dated online, that I would have a daily anxiety attack just trying to keep track of all my dates. Sorry mom. With great power comes great responsibility right?
Although I have reached a point where I am completely honest with every woman I date now and have calmed down quite a bit (do you forgive me yet ladies?), if there is one thing my past experiences can taught you, it’s the signs of when a guy is trying to play you.
Unfortunately, this is with epidemic with online dating. Releasing men into a world or online dating with unlimited options is like putting a hungry child alone in a candy store. This makes it very difficult for all you women out there to weed out the good guys from the manipulators, liars, and users. Until now. In this article I am going to teach you how you can catch a man who is trying to play you online. Sorry guys for blowing up your spot. I must repent for my past sins!
1. Check his last login
As much as guys who are trying to play you know it is a bad idea to keep logging on, the urge to check their latest messages is often too much to pass up. For these types of serial daters, it’s an addiction.
After you date someone you like, go to your profile settings and adjust them so that other users can’t see when you view their profile and can’t see when you last logged on. Then see when your man has last logged on. If you see them logging on more than once within a couple days of the date, they are hungry for more women. And if you see them log in within an hour of the date, cut it off immediately.
2.He always asks you if he could let you know in a day or two
So you are texting and making plans for a second date comes up. It’s Monday, and he asks if he could let you know later in the week which day works because he is “not sure of his schedule.” This is code for, “he’s not sure of his dating schedule,” and wants to keep his options open in case girl number two or three is only available on a certain day. If a man is really into you, he will commit to a day at the first opportunity because he does not want to miss out on the opportunity of seeing you again.
3. The text messages are extremely erratic
The typical online player will go through stretches where he responds consistently for an hour or two, then disappears for hours on end once nightfall hits. Why? Because it would be rude for him to text you while on his out with his other dates. When you get that text message four hours later that says, “sorry, was out with my friends,” ask him if his “friend” is as pretty as you.
4. His charm starts fading off between dates
When you first started texting he was so charming, witty, and playful. He is now less engaged, less witty, and briefer with his responses. This is because he’s working that charm on his newest prize of the moment and keeping you in maintenance mode with the minimum amount of attention necessary to stay relevant.
5. The dates get progressively cheaper
Men with real intentions don’t progressively take their dates on cheaper and less creative dates. Men with real intentions attempt to woo these women, with increasingly grander gestures. Progressively cheaper dates mean a man is taking you out with the hopes he doesn’t break the bank so that he could still take out his Thursday, Friday, and Saturday dates too. Juggling women isn’t cheap!
6. He frequently suggests staying in and watching a movie
Yea, we all love to be lazy and watch movies. But when this is a re-occurring theme in the courtship, the guy just wants to have sex. And he wants to have it cheap for reasons discussed in tip number five.
7. You haven’t met any of his friends
So you’ve been dating for two months and have yet to meet one friend. Guess what? You are not his main squeeze. When a man is truly into a woman and taking her seriously, he wants to show her off and let the world know. You’re not just a secret to his friends. You’re a secret to his other dates as well.
