There’s a reason why women are always urged to be very careful when dating. You have to focus more on getting to know him rather than on trying to be the perfect woman. Otherwise, you’ll miss some really dangerous signs.
There are certain traits that seem cool and maybe a little romantic at face value. But when you look closely, you will realize that they are major red flags in a relationship. In other words, you should probably run the other way when you spot them.
1. He always takes charge
It can be very sexy when you’re dating a man who knows what he wants. He decides where you go on dates and you let him because you end up enjoying yourself, or he always insists on things going his way. And because it’s always worked in the past, you allow it. While this isn’t always a bad thing, it can be a major red flag if you both never do what you want. This kind of man may become controlling, and probably even abusive at some point.

2. He won’t let you pay for anything
You hear men say things like, “how can I let my girlfriend spend her own money on stuff when I can handle it.” It sure sounds sweet, right. But this becomes an issue when he gets overly upset if you do buy something for yourself. This is also a sign of a controlling partner. This kind of man would probably insist you stop working at some point or want you to seek his permission and approval before making any purchase.
3. He doesn’t get mad
Couple fights aren’t fun but they are very necessary when you’re getting to know each other. However, if your man runs from all kinds of confrontation and would rather sit and watch while you rant and rave, this is probably not good. He may have trouble expressing himself and probably holds in a lot of things. People who don’t say what’s on their mind tend to be resentful. They never express their feelings to give you the chance to explain or apologise. In their mind, you remain guilty and they gradually begin to hate you for it.

4. He gets jealous
Some women feel a certain thrill when their partners get jealous or feel threatened. It proves he loves you, right. Wrong. While a little jealousy is a normal part of a relationship, when he constantly gets angry over your platonic friends and colleagues, it’s one of the major red flags in a relationship. It may mean he is insecure, doesn’t trust you or he’s controlling, none of which make for a happy relationship.
For more, here are some other red flags you should not ignore in a relationship.
