Throughout life, we women would come across men who we doted as knights in shining armor. Many of these people (including me) have put these suspect specimens on a pedestal, some times too soon. Climbing the pedestal high as they can, they won't know how, but they know when to come down (with you). Believe me, I have been there 3 times. Are you ready as I take you on this bumpy ride of what to avoid when you find out what you want/don't want in a man? Heck, yeah you do!
While I dated these three men, 5 scenarios came known to me. It just took me a while to figure out what they were and how they would fit in. They are The Commitment Phobe, The Womanizer, The Slob-Slacker, The Professional, and The Pathological Enabler.
1. THE COMMITMENT-PHOBE
At first, this man may seem nice and caring at first. He'll offer to take you out on dates, going to different events, even "treat you like the queen you are". He'll call when he says he will (with the latest BS that you think at the time is good to hear), even carry good conversation.
He may come off as very intelligent, nice and sweet at first. However, the current changes when you mention a relationship-A COMMITTED ONE which was OMITTED from his brain, and what each of you want to expect. He starts acting out, going into different withdrawal stages or temper-tantrums, and accuses you of not allowing him space. He is usually emotionally unavailable but a little aloof. At the most part, he runs for the hills! When he comes to, he'll tell his side, but prepare your ears to hear a lot of lies and baloney that you will need to mentally sound off!
The main advice I can give to someone who has been or is currently in this situation is (and I hope you don't miss the caps) MOVE ON WITH YOUR VERY LIFE! (ahem, let me repeat this again...) MOVE ON WITH YOUR VERY LIFE! Stop calling him, don't change him or change for him, don't even try to be his friend (They will beg you, but stay strong. True friends would not play another true friend for personal gratification no matter the price, so think about it). Overall, don't continue to stick in a "relationship" that never was and try to make things worse than it already is. That joker came what he got for, so don't let him know you are still accessible for seconds! All you can do at this very point is forgive, but DON'T forget.
If you decide to stay in said union, and you end up marrying the nut (they are beggars to the very end)... Having sex
