If a dude really likes you, he'll want to get to know you and he'll want to impress you - meaning he'll want to take you out and show off.

Certainly, I think chances are very high that any guy who is being overly persistent about sex is most likely a douchebag, no matter how incredibly into you he seems — and I speak from unhappy experience.

As for the stuff about texting: If he's doing any — or all three of those things — and you're not sure where you stand with him, or something seems not quite right, I'd be on guard.

Whenever you meet a new guy who is super smooth, good-looking and flirty, you probably have to wonder to yourself: is he a player?

Is this dude going to be seriously interested in having a relationship with you, or is he just looking for someone to fool around with?

If he's a player, he obviously doesn't need his friends getting attached to you or anything like that.

A man who wants something real with you will respect your decision about timing." Totally. Does any one of these rules, by itself, signal a player?

If a girl you generally get along with says something like, "watch out for that guy," there's probably a reason.

Maybe he played her or her friend or someone she knows.

He's only interested in hanging out at night or at weird times and only for a little while.

That's because he either only wants to hook up or he is trying to juggle a few different girls on a tight schedule.
