Here’s Why You Shouldn’t Date Him, According To His Birth Month

Everybody has red flags. If you’ve got your eye on a guy, or you’ve just started dating, you might be looking for his. Look for his birth month below to figure out why you shouldn’t date him–or if it’s something you can look past.

January

A man born in January has the propensity toward stubbornness. It can make him terrible when it comes to making relationship compromises. And if you have a fight, there’s a very good chance that he’ll give you the silent treatment. Yikes, if so. He’s a force that sometimes works against you, not with you.

February

Guys born in February are quick to anger and don’t shy away from a fight. While it can make dating him exciting, it also makes your relationship volatile. February men also have a thing about commitment. There’s a chance that he’ll ghost you if he gets the slightest hint that you like him more than he likes you.

March

You’ll feel so amazing when a March guy picks you to date–until you realize that he’ll date pretty much everyone. He takes a “you don’t know unless you try” approach to picking partners, which could mean he’ll drop you as soon as he realizes you’re not actually compatible.

April

An April man loves attention and praise. If you butter him up, you’ll get him easily. But is there more substance beyond that? You’d hope that he chose you because he actually likes you, but the more likely option is because he likes how you make him feel.

May

Men born in May are so hard-headed. He’ll be incredibly stubborn and, when he sets his mind to something, he’ll never budge. If you date this guy, you’ll have to accept the fact that he’ll be horrible any time you have a fight. Unless you concede every time, which isn’t necessarily healthy.

June

A June man is incredibly emotional, though he doesn’t always show it. If you’re wondering why he’s been quiet lately, it might be because you hurt his feelings weeks ago and he’s still stewing about it. A man born in June will also have problems with procrastination, though don’t we all?

July

He’s going to be difficult to deal with in a fight unless you come at him with cold, hard facts. A July man unfortunately doesn’t seem to respect people who lead with their heart or their gut rather than their head. If you’re an emotional person, you’ll either complement his analytical nature, or you’ll find you just aren’t that compatible.

August

While August men can be loving, they’re also prone to constant egotism. He’ll think he’s great, even when he’s being a bit of an ass. This’ll mean he is reluctant to admit he’s wrong–because how can anyone so amazing ever do anything wrong?

September

If you’re dating a September man, be prepared to guess at how he’s feeling. He’ll never tell you. He’d rather bottle up all his negative emotions–and even some of the positive ones–then ever open his heart to the prospect of getting hurt. If you’re not attracted to the “strong, silent type,” then stay away from men born in September.

October

October men pin a lot of their self-worth on how others treat them. If you’re mad, he’ll take it hard. If he hasn’t heard how great he is lately, he’ll feel like he’s trash. The emotional dependency can be a lot for partners to deal with and can be hella exhausting.

November

If he was born in November, he’ll likely have a hard time with commitment. Not because they think they could do better, but because they’re way more comfortable being alone. It would take someone truly special for a November man to fully commit.

December

A December man’s impatience is his worst trait. He likes things at his pace and if anyone goes much slower, he’ll be very annoying to be around. He has high standards in general and it might be tough to live up to what he expects of you.
