Solo 6 surprising reasons why it might be time to say buh-bye to your guy

Know When To Go Solo!

Sure, having a bae can be awesome: You’ve got an automatic date for New Year’s Eve. Some one to share that bucket of buttery popcorn with at the movies. That fluttery feeling when he looks at you with his beyond cute smile.

But then again, relationships aren’t always so wonderful—and there are plenty of guys who belong in the Bad Boyfriend Hall of Fame (you know who *he* is).

But sometimes your BF isn’t even a bad guy—he’s just bad for you. Here are a few not-so-obvious reasons to kiss your guy goodbye…and start 2018 fresh and free.

GO SOLO SIGN #1:

YOU’RE JUST NOT THAT INTO HIM

Your BF clearly adores you: He hangs on your every word, surprises you with sweet treats and texts you constantly just to say, “I miss u!” Only prob? You don’t have the same feelings for him.

And though the constant flattery can be nice, it can also get overwhelming when you’re not, well, sharing the love. So spare your sensitive sweetie any future heartache by halting things now. He’ll find another girl to gush over, and you’ll have the freedom to seek someone who really makes you melt.
