20 Signs a Man is Desperate for a Date or Relationship
When you begin dating someone it's an exciting time in your life, but as time progresses you start to notice things that make you think that the man you're dating is becoming a bit desperate. This kind of behavior is not only disturbing, but it can become creepy and not only to you, but those around you too. This is often seen with single mothers who get back into the dating scene they could have been divorced for some time and are reintroducing themselves into the dating world and the first guy they settle for dating has some issues with himself that comes off as needy to those who can recognize this kind of behavior. There are a lot of reasons for why men are desperate and needy and part of dating is to get to know someone, but when a single woman is dealing with a man she has no idea what she could be getting herself into and some of the things she may not even catch on to, but those around her could be seeing things that she may not be seeing. A man who is desperate can indicate low-self esteem and a host of other issues and you want to ask yourself do you want to deal with someone who's got some unresolved issues with himself. A man who's desperate will display behavior that can actually be a turn off to women and some of it is victim of circumstance or even just unresolved issues that should be best dealt with in counseling. Some of the things that can indicate desperation are seen below:
1. Is moving too fast to take the relationship to the next level-This is a pretty obvious one and it all starts with moving too fast with things like intimacy and sex. A relationship should grow in time and if you're dating a man who's moving too fast for your speed this is a red flag that you need to pay attention to before things get too out of control.
2. Spends too much time with you-This is another one that's prevalent and this is the most cumbersome because when you're hanging out together and then you continue the evening well into the next day. You have to learn when to call it a night and end the date at an appropriate hour.
3. Does not give you time and space-This is where men get their feelings hurt very quickly because they're not respecting the fact that you have a life of your own outside of them. What is defined as space is not always hanging out and allowing that person to have their own life. Desperate men tend to be a bit on the invasive side when they always want to hang out at your house for hours on end.
4. Always buying gifts (expensive and cheap) constantly-This can become unflattering and even annoying to women because after a while gifts lose their meaning when a man is constantly buying you stuff. Not to say that the thought is nice, but after a while you're going to get tired of always getting something. Part of getting a surprise is looking forward to it and if you're always getting something the feelings and the concept begin to lose its meaning and eventually a woman is going to be less thrilled to get something. Gifts also include greeting cards as well.
5. Takes you away from things of importance like your own life or social life with friends-Having a special someone is nice, but when he starts drawing your attention away from things like caring for a loved one or taking care of everyday things or even to the point when you put your responsibilities off on someone else this is not good because that means your neglecting your priorities.
6. In constant agreement with everything you say-This indicates a people pleaser and this is a toxic element because that indicates the man has no backbone and takes things to heart way too much. This is a common issue in someone who's excessively needy.
7. Makes long term future plans prematurely-Desperate men tend to make that woman the only person in their life and not take the time to date different people and get to know other people other than just one person. When you find a man saying "You're the only woman for me" before the two month period you have a desperate person on your hand and you may turn around and run for the hills before he's had a chance to present to you what he means by that.
8. Always eager to please-This is the most annoying trait because what woman is going to want to deal with someone who's constantly trying to please her and is overly-eager to do whatever you wanted. This is a trait that will get some desperate men used like doormats because it's a sign of emotional weakness.
9. Is too overly nice and sweet-This can be a turn off to women because that can indicate low-self esteem because you're going to get weary of the sentimental stuff after a while. There's nothing wrong with having a soft side, but some women want to know a man has a backbone to stand up for himself meaning he's got the balls to face certain things.
