“Not everyone gonna appreciate what you do for them, you just gotta figure out who's worth your effort and who's just taking advantage of you.”— NavYeet™, twitter.com
“If all he wants is sex, he’ll promise you things you haven’t even thought of yet. Men know that by talking about love, fabulous exotic vacations, babies, houses with the white picket fences, women will give up the goods.”— Sherry Argov, match.com
“He’s pushy about getting physical. Some guys will say just about anything to get a woman to have sex with him.”— Matt Schneiderman, match.com
“He warns you that he’s not relationship material. Some guys inform girls about their disinterest in a relationship early on with remarks like ‘I’m not ready for a serious relationship yet.’ It can be easy to think he’s just being honest and may eventually come around after he’s gotten to know you. B…”— Matt Schneiderman, match.com
“He goes for sex straight away. If he invites you back to his apartment to ‘watch a film’ on the first meeting/ date, that’s usually all he’s after.”— Lara Bright, thoughtcatalog.com
“Let’s get the obvious out of the way: if he’s hot there’s a 99% chance he’s a player straight out.”— Lara Bright, thoughtcatalog.com
“He’s jealous of you with other guys, but also seems to avoid giving you a clear answer on exclusivity. Does he seem to play up, act jealous, or just doesn’t like the prospect of you spending time around other guys, yet has never been 100% clear on his own situation and standing? It’s because he does…”— Mark Rosenfeld, thoughtcatalog.com
“He’s caught off guard if he runs into you unexpectedly. A guy who’s using you only wants to see you on his terms, when it suits him, so his game will be thrown out by running into you unexpectedly.”— Mark Rosenfeld, thoughtcatalog.com
“You’ve been ‘seeing’ him for a few months and he still has every dating app and you can see he’s active on them. This one should be obvious.”— Christy Goldstein, thoughtcatalog.com
“How many sexts do you have from him on your phone? Or how many dick pics? (Men, stop sending those if we haven’t asked for them!) It’s a tell tale sign that he’s only interested in your body — not your mind.”— Christy Goldstein, thoughtcatalog.com
“You text and call and email that you want to spend the day together, but he never responds. Then, like magic, late in the evening he finally is available to spend time with you, but only for sex. If you can’t reach him during the day, you are basically a booty call even if you do not intend to be on…”— Christy Rasmussen, herinterest.com
“He goes to his friend’s wedding… without you. He goes to his Grandma’s birthday party… without you. He goes to work functions… without you. If you are new in this relationship, it might be excusable, but after a few months there is no excuse worthy anymore. He’s using you for something. If he was in…”— Christy Rasmussen, herinterest.com
“Staying in from time to time is fine, but when it’s every single night and all you do is have sex, he’s using you for just that. Don’t fall for the lack of money excuse. There are lots of free date ideas.”— Christy Rasmussen, herinterest.com
“He only likes to have sex in complete darkness. It could mean that he has body issues, but it could also mean he sees you as a body and only a body.”— Holly Riordan, thoughtcatalog.com

“Maybe he takes you to dinner one night, and then he doesn’t respond to your Facebook messages for a week. Maybe you attend a party hand in hand, and then he suddenly goes MIA for the next three days. If this is the case, collegiettes, it’s more than likely you’re just convenient side entertainment o…”— Ashley McDonald, hercampus.com
“If he’s totally weird about calling you his girlfriend, even after months of nonstop dates, chances are that he’s seeing other people, too — and doesn’t want to stop seeing them. Drop him for a man who will happily call you his girlfriend (they’re out there, we swear!)”— Ashley McDonald, hercampus.com
“When a man doesn’t want to experience the daily tasks of life with you like going grocery shopping or going to the doctor, he’s probably just using you.”— Shannon Yrizarry, herinterest.com
