Any two people can find some level of compatibility if they force the issue, but you better believe that not every pair is simpatico. Some couples simply are not meant to be together and should recognize this fact before they create a bond.
When it comes to finding the right guy or gal for you, it’s all about type. For example, avoid the attention hound because they are more involved in being the center of attention than caring for your feelings. This brings us to the topic of a love trap.
What’s a love trap, exactly? To put it simply, a love trap is that guy you fall for who’s seemingly everything you ever wanted in a guy, but is emotionally too wrapped up in himself to care for you. A psychologist would probably call this person a narcissist but iin dating terms, this person is simply a dead-end, a love trap whose charms can suck you in and leave you miserable.
How to Spot a Love Trap
The example we used previously was of a guy, but girls can also be too much about “me, me, me” to care anything about you, you, you, so you need to learn to spot the characteristics of a love trap to ensure you can step right over them when the time comes.
Some of the characteristics of this type of individual include:
- Total vanity – hair, clothes, makeup, jewelry, cars and other accessories
- Attention hounding – seeking out the attention and always trying to be the center of every room in every situation
- Drama queen – never missing a chance to turn a mole hill into a mountain in order to get some type of reaction, usually sympathetic
- Frequently aloof – appears to be hearing what you say, but really isn’t listening at all
- Subject changer – basically ignores what you’re talking about and interjects quickly with something about their life
- Serial dater – usually catching you as a rebound after falling out of a previous relationship
- Overly confident – self-assured to the point of extreme cockiness
- Pushy – trying to rush things along and/or trying to control the tone of the relationship
At the end of the day, this type of individual is looking for more of a submissive personality to offer reassurance of how great they are. The vanity and confidence is a façade for deep-rooted issues, issues that you want no part of.
