6. He texts passive-aggressive comments about a fault that you might have made.
He messages you some really passive-aggressive comments that are designed to make you feel bad and guilty about something that you might have done. This is a common manipulative technique that toxic men use.
7. He makes you feel bad for flirting.
He calls you out whenever you flirt with him. He makes you feel bad about it. He makes fun of you instead of responding with flirtatious advances himself.
8. He texts you about his ex.
He sends you text messages about his ex and that’s a big no-no. It’s a sign that he’s not over his ex and that he’s clearly not interested in having you as a prospective girlfriend.
9. He never sends the first text.
He never really sends the first text. He is always just the one who responds to text messages that you send him. It shows that he doesn’t show any initiative with you. He’s not interested in making an effort with you.
10. He takes forever to reply.
And lastly, he always takes forever to reply to you. And it’s not that he’s just too busy to make contact with you. It’s not that he has other things on his plate. It’s just that you don’t matter that much to him for him to actually reply to a text promptly.
Surely these ten statements work both ways.
