# He takes his time to reply

He often doesn’t answer your calls immediately even if he isn’t at work. And he always takes a lot of time to text you or call you back even when he’s not busy. This is one of the earliest signs of a bad boyfriend because it often appears at the start, and he may set the tone of the relationship with this move.

# He takes you for granted

He takes you and your gestures for granted. He just expects you to be sweet and helpful all the time, and he never reciprocates anything you do. You don’t even get a ‘thank you.’

# He has no, or very little, time for you

He doesn’t have time for you, but always has time for his friends and other activities. He’s active on social media playing silly games, but he doesn’t have time to call you or meet you.

He makes plans with you and flakes on them often. And he always has a convincing excuse no matter what accusation you make. This is one of the biggest signs of a bad boyfriend.

# All he wants to do is make out

Every time you meet, all he wants to do is make out. He gets annoyed if you just want to talk or hang out doing something else.

# He’s emotionally closed off

One of the early signs of a bad boyfriend is his disinterest in talking about the future or his feelings. He says he likes living in the present, but still makes future plans about everything else but the relationship.

# He has a lot of secrets

And most of these secrets have names of different girls. He may be commenting, DMing, or chatting with them on social media or speaking with them over the phone now and then.

Even if you ask him who these girls are or how he knows them, he just brushes the conversation off or avoids talking about them.

# He’s controlling and manipulative

He seems very concerned about you and always tries to advise you on how you should lead your life. And as helpful as he seems, somehow you feel very stifled and suffocated in the relationship.
