6 Obvious Signs You Cannot Trust The Guy You Are Dating

Ultimately, not everyone is trustworthy, and it may take some difficult experiences to learn this lesson. To determine if your partner is trustworthy, observe the following signs.

If he exhibits more than three of these behaviors, he may not be the best person to trust with your heart. However, it's important to remember that he's only human, and it's best to give him the benefit of the doubt.

Avoid making hasty conclusions and allow him to explain himself if you suspect any wrongdoing. Trust your instincts and take appropriate action.

# Vague explanations

If your partner fails to provide a satisfactory explanation for canceling a date, arriving an hour late to your housewarming, or flaking on a party you planned to attend together, it's reasonable to be suspicious.

While it's important to give your partner the benefit of the doubt, if you consistently receive unsatisfactory explanations, you may have valid reasons to distrust him.

Truth-telling should be straightforward, especially if he has done nothing wrong. However, if you notice him struggling to explain himself or being intentionally vague, it's possible that he's hiding something.

# Not there for you

An essential aspect of determining a man's trustworthiness is assessing his loyalty to you. You should be able to rely on him when you need him the most, whether it's moving boxes, seeking comfort after the loss of a loved one, or even something as minor as changing a light bulb.

If he readily offers assistance during your time of need, it's likely that you can trust him with your heart. On the other hand, if he always seems preoccupied when you require his support, consider it a warning sign that he may not be trustworthy.

# Secretive with phone calls

If your partner consistently leaves the room to answer phone calls or respond to text messages, it's possible that he has something to conceal. While it's plausible that he may be addressing personal or professional matters, being in a relationship means that answering the phone in your presence should not be an issue.

If he frequently does this and is unwilling to leave his phone unattended with you, it's likely that he's hiding something.

# Busy at odd hours

Let me share with you a true story about a woman whose boyfriend of two years consistently rushed off for business meetings after dinner. He claimed that the irregular hours were due to dealing with foreign markets across different time zones.

However, the more he did it, the more she realized that he was deceiving her. The final straw came when he offered an unbelievable excuse for meeting a client at midnight on a Friday.

When she confronted him, he finally confessed to his dubious affair. At some point, you must recognize when to stop ignoring his misdeeds and confront the harsh truth.

There's nothing wrong with your man focusing on his career, but it's important to recognize when he's lying and put a stop to it.

# You do not know his friends

If you are in a relationship with a man and you don't know his friends well, it could be a sign that you cannot trust him. You don't have to be best friends with his group of friends, but they should at least be aware of your existence.

If his friends seem to forget who you are every time you meet them, it could be an indication that he doesn't talk about you very often. Alternatively, it could mean that they have lost track of which girl he is dating, as he may introduce a new girl to them frequently. Therefore, you should be cautious of his friends who don't know you well, and vice versa.

# Takes forever to return calls or texts

If your man truly values your relationship, he will not ignore your calls or messages. Communication with you should bring joy, not feel like a burden. If he consistently takes too long to respond, it's a clear sign that you're not a priority in his life.

While it's important to consider extenuating circumstances, such as him being in a meeting or his phone dying, if this happens regularly, you should be cautious and question his behavior.
