It feels wonderful when a guy expresses interest in you, but it can quickly start to feel like a burden if he starts to get too serious too early in the relationship. We surveyed women to bring you seven signs a new boyfriend is taking a relationship too seriously.
1. He wants you to meet his parents right away
It is fine to wait a little while and get to know each other first before seeking parental recognition.
2. He gives you an expensive present for no particular reason
If he spends too much money on you at the beginning of a relationship, it could put unhealthy pressure on you.
3. He just won’t leave you alone
He may be trying to show that he is serious about the relationship by texting or calling a lot, but that can get annoying fast.
4. Even though you don’t know each other that well, he wants to move in together
He may be trying to control your lifestyle, which is never a fun thing to deal with.
5. He can’t stop asking about your ex-boyfriends and your past love life
You probably want to avoid talking about things that will just make him jealous.
6. He shows you that he deleted all his female contacts from his phone
It is a huge turn off that he would go that far when you didn’t even ask him to.
7. He won’t chill out until he knows your whole schedule
Nervous guys will try extra hard to know where you are at all times.
Guys might not even realize that doing these things can be considered a nuisance. It may be difficult to speak frankly to someone you have just started to date, but the ability to tell him that you don’t like those things very much is important in creating an understanding, lasting relationship.
