Speaking of holidays, does it seem like you always break-up before major ones before getting back together right after? Or that the same thing happens right before a birthday? Yeah, he’s avoiding gifts and quality time. But don’t worry girl, he’s got arbor day and groundhog day all for you.

11. Familia and amigos... are they invisible?

12. Booty calls... are there any other types of calls?

The times you speak always seem to be a little “off.” Like 2 a.m., “I’ll-be-over-soon” off.

13. You don't know anything about him.

You know he exists, but beyond that? If you don’t know his workplace, his family members’ names or his favorite hangout spot – delete his number and move on.
