6 Concrete Signs She’s Done Dating Immature Men

In the past, you might have settled for relationships and partners who were beneath you, who were never going to give you what you deserved. But moving forward, you should keep those standards high. Here are concrete signs you are officially done dating immature partners and will hold out for someone willing to treat you right:

You won’t endure screaming matches.

When there’s a problem in the relationship, you expect your partner to present their feelings in a calm, clear manner. If they resort to name calling and cursing you out, then you are going to end the conversation there. You aren’t going to settle for a relationship where you’re spoken down to, regardless of whether your person is angry or drunk or upset. There’s never any reason for disrespect, so you aren’t going to put up with it.

You won’t endure bare minimum treatment.

Realistically, you know you can’t always be your person’s number one priority. But you don’t want to be thrown to the bottom of their priorities list either. You don’t want to feel like an inconvenience in your own relationship. You want a partner who values your relationship enough to set aside time for you, who acts present when you’re on dates, who shows up whenever you really need them. If you feel like a bother whenever you try to have a conversation or hangout session with them, then they’re the wrong one.

You won’t endure mind games.

You believe clear communication is essential in a relationship. If you don’t know what your person is thinking because they refuse to open up to you about what’s on their mind even when you ask them directly, then you can’t give them what they deserve. And that’s not fair to either of you. You need someone who is transparent about their feelings so you’re not left in the dark all the time. Someone who isn’t afraid to have the hard conversations.

You won’t endure broken promises.

You don’t need your person to promise you the world. But when they make a promise, they better keep it. Or at least intend on keeping it. You don’t want someone who says what you want to hear, just to shut you up. You want them to be a person of their word. You want them to follow through on what they claim they’re willing to do for you. If they’re always lying, then how can you believe anything that comes out of their mouth?

You won’t endure ultimatums.

Your person is not in control of you. They don’t get to make your decisions. They don’t get to decide what you change about yourself and when. If your person doesn’t like you for the real you, and if they can’t make space for everything and everyone you love, then they aren’t the right fit for you. You won’t give up your career or your friends for them. You can have it all – or you can walk away.

You won’t endure hot and cold behavior.

You deserve consistency. You don’t want a partner who treats you like royalty half of the time, then ignores your existence the other half. Your days of interpreting mixed signals is over. Moving forward, you need someone who is always there for you. Always.
