He’s cute, fun, smart and you can’t stop thinking about him. Infact, you’re already three steps ahead of the game and mentally planning weddings, children and that giant house with the white picket fence when he hasn’t even indicated anything. You reason that finally, after all these years, the perfect relationship has finally been found. Happily ever after sure feels good, huh?
Not so fast. While many men may seem ideal after just a few weeks of dating, upon closer inspection, there can be warning signs that you should avoid a relationship with this person. It is important to recognise these warning signs before it’s too late. You really don’t want to wake up ten years down the road divorced with kids, in debt, and depressed.
OK, maybe I’m exaggerating. But the truth is, as much as we often ignore the warning signs in a potentially bad relationship early on in the dating process, these issues don’t go away. Most behaviours only grow worse over time. So, instead of jumping into that long-term relationship with a man you suspect may be wrong for you, let’s take a look at fifteen types of guys you should avoid getting into long-term relationships with in the first place.

1. The set-in-his-ways guy.
This is the guy who refuses to try anything new. A man like that will only become more rigid over time. Dating someone who refuses to be spontaneous or adventurous once in a while makes for a long-term relationship that is both boring and one-sided. Assuming that he will eventually change and open up to your hobbies is misguided. This will likely never happen.

2. The pick-up-after-me guy.
You are his partner, not his maid. Men who expect you to clean up their dishes, pick up after them, do their laundry and generally take care of them as if they are little children on a consistent basis need a reality check. They have bestowed the role of mother on you and while it might be sweet and endearing in the short-term, mothering a man and his children for the rest of your life will get frustrating.

3. The always-looking-for-a-deal guy.
Be wary of men who constantly look for “deals” and comment on prices early on in the dating process. While everyone likes a good deal, a man who really likes you will not be looking to get you cheap stuff or take you to unsavoury places just because the prices on drinks and food is “better” there. I’m not saying you should demand he wine and dine you in five star restaurants but if you know he can afford it, then you deserve it. If he says No, walk away.

4. The I-need-to-watch-sports-all-the-time guy.
There’s nothing wrong with sitting on the couch and watching sports. Many guys do. But this should never trump the responsibilities of a relationship or take precedence over family obligations. There is a difference between loving sports and having a childish obsession with them. Choose a man who knows the difference.

5. The what’s-for-dinner guy.
Expecting a home cooked meal every single night makes for a relationship that will likely feel unbalanced in the long run. Again, you are not his maid. This is the 21st century ladies. Women work just as hard as men and expecting a woman to always have a home-cooked meal on the table every night after a long day at her own job is selfish. There should be contributions from both parties. Help with the meal preparation or the dishes or the kids. Even if that contribution isn’t always evenly divided, it’s the effort that counts.

6. The I-get-increasingly-less-romantic-with-each-date guy.
Some men break out all the stops early on in the dating process, but by the fifth of sixth date, the laziness starts to creep in. While no man should always be expected to plan five-star dates, at the same time, the romance shouldn’t just completely fall off a cliff at once. These changes in effort can be very foretelling of how he will be a year or two down the road.

7. The I-had-sex-and-now-I-don’t-have-to-try-anymore guy.
Always play close attention to how a guy’s behaviour changes once he has had sex with you for the first time. If he truly cares about you, his attention and affection will grow stronger. Those who back down and start getting lazy after having sex with you were probably only after one thing to begin with. And that’s why you should pay close attention and be sure he’s the one before getting that intimate.

8. The I-will-let-you-pay-for-some-of-my-bills guy.
Anyone, regardless of gender, who asks for help paying bills early on in a relationship, should raise red flags. Don’t let yourself be used. By paying anything for him early on, you are setting the tone for your entire future. If a man invites you out on a date, it’s his responsibility to pay the bill. Let him do it.

9. The lack-of-ambition guy.
Be very wary of men who talk up a big game. Always telling you of what they plan to do with their lives. Some men with no ambition whatsoever like to talk and build a lot of castles in the air. At the end of the day, they are just saying what they know women want to hear. There is nothing wrong with a guy who wants to grow into a better person, just make sure that he’s genuine. If you want to know a guy who truly has ambition and the zeal to go places, that will be another article. Stay tuned

10. The I’m-in-my-late-twenties-or-older-and-still-live-with-my-mother guy.
In my book, living at home up until age 25 is acceptable, provided the guy was going through schooling or saving up money. But anyone who has been working for a few years, is approaching 30 and still lives with his mother is never going to grow up. Period.
