Well, I dated someone for four years!! And as a 20 year old ...that's a pretty long time.
Well.....there are a lot ways to know. And it really depends on you and the dynamics of your relationship.
But, here are some signs that I use....
* When I get refered to as "Baby", "Honey" and a variety of pet names and he forgets I actually have a name and identity. The pet names are cute, but when I sense I'm losing my sense of self....then I must put my foot down.
* When we kiss and I don't get that fluttery, warm feeling...and it starts to feel like I'm just going through the motions, instead of actually wanting to do it.
*When you start picking out all the annoying, unattractive things about your guy. Like a mole on his neck, and it starts taking over his face and eventually he becomes a mole head!!! Then, you know he is a goner.
* When he starts disrespecting you and your values (for example: making you do stuff you don't want to do..You cannot stay with a loser like that!!!
* When he does things and you actually cringe of yuckiness!! and you get uncomfortable aroud him..like he's a child molestor or something.
*When he hits on your friends or sisters...and he asks for a threesome....that is totally disrespectful!!
*** And here is the final draw.....when you actually have doubts that he will be your friend when you break up.
hope this helps!!
Oh, I forgot to mention......one of the things up above won't cause a breakup from me....but the combo of them will
