He showers you with everything except commitment
Why? because for every gift he buys you you’re obligated to appreciate. He likes his ego stroked and he figures with gifts and attention, you’ll continue to do so. He feels it’s a convenient way to keep you around because likes having you around. And her too. And her, and her too… You get the drift. Now when it comes to defining your relationship he stalls every time… Red flag!
Tries makes you jealous
He spares no detail when letting you know how attractive and desirable women find him. He goes on and on about how he’s the hottest thing in the market and how every lady wants to be with him. What he’s doing is he’s elevating himself in your eyes. The aim; so you feel jealous of the attention his getting but also humbled by the fact that he chose to be with you. It’s almost like he’s one grand prize you we’re lucky enough to win. Stay woke sister, you’re every bit as hot and desirable as he is. Don’t let him or anyone else make you feel otherwise.

He tries to make you cave in
It’s all about reverse psychology. The trick here is to make you seem like a prude and shame you into doing what he wants you to do. He makes you come off as old fashioned then tells you that it’s not a big deal, but you don’t have to do it if you don’t want to. And because you don’t want to seem uncool you try to prove yourself by throwing your values out the window. If you’ve been through this you probably realised it wasn’t a good idea… cause it isn’t.
You’re always the guilty one
Men find it very easy to guilt trip you into doing what they want. They try to make you feel guilty for not doing what they want eventually you end up doing just that. He gets what he wants by .ing with your emotions

He is charming with you and aggressive with other people
This is one of the mind games men . to get you to lower your guard. You think you’re special that’s why he treats you differently but it’s all a matter of time. Don’t fall for it. When he gets comfortable and possibly bored with you, you’ll be at the receiving end of his aggression. Do yourself a favor and opt out.
