4 Ways to Ensure He Doesn’t Play Games and Waste Your Time

If you have been dating long enough then you are probably sick of the players. The guys who will tell you one thing, and then do another. The types of guys who will play with your emotions with very little regard to what that means to you.If you are tired of guys wasting your time, then it’s time to break the cycle. Even the nicest guy can be a waste of time, so learn to evaluate.

Though they may not always mean it the way that it comes off, men can toy with your emotions and ultimately leave you wanting more. If you are tired of being the one who is always responding to him rather than the other way around, then change things. If you don’t want to be with another guy who wastes your time then break the cycle once and for all and then it’s onto bigger and better things — with a guy who really cares!

Here’s how to break that cycle once and for all. And to ensure that you are never with another guy who will waste your time again.

Be very clear about what you want up front

If you don’t want a guy who is going to waste your time then be very clear up front. Tell him what you want and don’t be afraid of scaring him away. If he’s the right type of guy for you then he’ll respect your honesty and reciprocate. If he runs for the hills then he was only ever going to waste your time anyhow. Don’t get sucked in, just be honest and upfront with what you’re looking for and it will filter out the wrong type of guys.

Don’t tolerate the games and be ready to call him out on it

If you see that he’s doing something that you don’t like then you have to be ready to stand up for yourself. Don’t let it linger on or turn into a pattern, but rather stop it before it starts. Be the person who can tell him that you don’t appreciate his games or wasting your time, and then see if he reacts the way you’d like. If he’s wishy-washy then he’s not for you, so be ready to move on and find the right type of guy once and for all.

Keep some sort of control throughout

It’s not to say that you’re a control freak, but you most certainly do maintain some order throughout. You are somebody that is confident and self-assured and that comes through in the control that you exert. The right type of man will respect that. At the same time the type that is scared off by it is likely going to waste your time anyhow. Be ready to be somewhat controlling to get what you want.

Be willing to ask him what’s going on if things seem strange

If you see something that seems out of the ordinary, then ask him about it. If you feel as though he’s setting you up to have your time wasted, then call him out. There’s a nice way to find out what’s going on, but you need to know the truth. If he doesn't want the same things as you, then it’s certainly better to know that up front than to spend a lot of time with a guy who will never give you what you want in the end.
