Are You In Love With A Player? A Psychologist's Guide To Bad Boys by newsdey(m): 11:26pm On Jun 05, 2015
When you first met him, you thought he was a dream come true, your "one and only." He was charming, caring and so sensitive, he'd watch an entire Lifetime movie with you without once grabbing the remote.

But by the third or fourth date, everything stared to change. First the changes were subtle, and then more dramatic. Mr. Right became a predator, a player, a manipulator. Why didn’t you see it coming? Maybe your girlfriends saw it before you did. Were you blinded by his sex appeal?

Here are a few warning signs, some red flags you should never overlook.

* Red Flag: He’s narcissistic, loves admiration, convinced he’s the center of the universe. Does he talk about himself constantly? Does he seemed bored/disinterested in other people’s comments? Does he crave admiration the way a vampire craves blood?

*Red Flag: He plays loose and fast with the truth. In other words, he lies. Little white lies, fibs and whoppers. And the strange thing is, he lies even when it’s not necessary. He likes to exaggerate, embellish, make every story “bigger” than it has to be. Have you caught him him in a little white lie? Most players are “practiced liars.” They look you right in the eye when lying, with no tell-tale body language.

*Red Flag: He’s a control freak. His concern about your every thought, every movement seems charming at first, but it’s a bad sign. After a while this 24/7 scrutiny sends up warning signals in your head.

*Red Flag: He can be moody and unpredictable. His moods go up and down and he is inconsistent. He can fly into a rage one minute, and then suddenly switch gears and turn on the charm.

*Red Flag
: He is impatient, abrupt, with a low tolerance for frustration. The tiniest thing can set him off–a slow driver, a careless waitress, a cold dinner.

*Red Flag: He fails to plan ahead and shows poor judgment. Maybe he invites you to a romantic dinner at a lakeside lodge. But he forgets the lodge is closed that month, and there’s nowhere else to stay in a fifty mile radius. You could camp out, but he forgot about the mosquitoes. You get the idea!

*Red Flag: He never admits guilt, never apologizes and blames others. As far as he is concerned, he is never in the wrong–never!

*Red Flag: He is manipulative. For example, he uses “grooming behaviors” to convince you to do something you really don't want to do. By getting you to agree to small things, he eventually pushes his demands and you find yourself caught up in a situation that is not of your choosing. Sales people call this the “foot-in-the-door” technique. The idea is to get the mark to say “yes” to something small and inconsequential, and then she will agree on larger issues.

Don't ignore these red flags. The time to bail is when you spot the first one. This is a player, a guy to avoid at all costs.
