OK, you can stop sipping the Kool-Aid now

How can someone love you after 2 days? They simply can't know you like that. It's a ruse. Check out my reasons for not going back to my ex-guy:

1) he wanted marriage or living together almost immediately. (Within the first week, he was professing his love. I smelled something wrong in Denmark. But duh, stayed with him 2 months more).

2) he hides you from his family by making you be quiet during calls - very insulting and suspicious. (Be on the lookout for this one--if you continue, and I sincerely hope you do not, watch for hidden agenda. These guys have one or two. )

3) he changed his story about his education and that's a huge flag - making up stories to impress you. (This is bound to happen, inconsistencies in his story. )

4) Doesn't respect you. Only wants what he can get out of you. (Bingo. This is the biggest lesson learned. They will say and do anything to get what they want. I sincerely owe a good deal of my sanity to Yasemin and Straight Talk Luigi.)
