1. He always has excuses on Valentine’s
Day: Some say Valentine’s Day is when you
know if you are truly the main love of his
life. There is no way a guy who has two
girlfriends would share the equal amount of
time with both of them. One of the babes
has to suffer and we all know it’s the side-
chick. He might send the side-chick a gift at
work – if she is lucky- while he is away to
avoid questions. When it’s getting close to
Valentine’s Day, that’s when he knows he
has an official trip. Don’t get me wrong, not
all guys are guilty of this though.
2. He never “titles” you: It’s your birthday
and he puts up your picture as his display
picture but captions it: “Happy birthday,
dear” or “Happy birthday Shade”. This
leaves room for various interpretations
without incriminating him.
3. He never recognises you on his social
networks: Now, these include BBM,
Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, etc. As much
as we all know that some people love their
privacy but this can also be a sign. I am not
talking about guys who are not on social
media; I am referring to the ones who are
very active on social media but tell you that
they like their lives private. He posts
pictures about his many travels but when it
comes to proclaiming his love for you, he
remembers his privacy. If this is you, you
might just be number two.
4. He dials or receives calls from a
particular number: This is not snooping
around, but sometimes, you need to be
vigilant about who your boyfriend talks to.
He has this particular number that calls all
the time that he just always has to pick.
Each time that number calls, he excuses
himself. In this case sometimes, the number
might not even be saved. Check that
boyfriend of yours because that might be
the main babe.
5. He only picks your calls at a particular
time: This happens when you are not
around him. He needs to create ways to be
with his main chick so at that point, you
become irrelevant. This usually happens
mostly on weekends. The reason why he
goes MIA over the weekend sometimes is
because they both work during the week
and the weekend is their only alone time. If
he always gives excuses most weekends,
check your boo!
6. Hates surprise visits: Have you tried to
surprise your boyfriend at his house and he
gets so cross with you. Now that reason
might be because you are the side babe. He
never wants you coming unannounced
without calling first. He gives you the
impression that he hates surprises. This is
definitely because you are the side chick
sweetie. Shine your eye!
7. Hardly hangs out in his house: Now, in
this case, he would rather pick you up from
home and take you to his friend’s house
whom he knows you are very comfortable
with. He won’t want to give you the liberty
to become too familiar at his own house so
that number 5 does not occur too often.
8. He does not introduce you as his
girlfriend: Whenever he wants to introduce
you to people, girls in particular, he
introduces you with your first name or
bestie or something of that sort, just so you
don’t spoil his shine with other girls. You
might just be the side chick.
9. He never keeps his promises: This is also
one of the major things. He promises you
things and for some reason, it seems like a
million years. He never ends up giving you.
If you were the main chick, he would
always want you to be happy. So if he does
this to you, investigate him!
10. Trust your instincts: As they always say,
save the best for last. This is a very
important part that human beings like to
ignore. You would have seen the signs and
decide to shove it aside. A girl’s instinct
never lies. If you feel you might be the side
chick, who knows! Maybe you actually are
the side chick.
