    7 Signs He's Just a Booty Call and Not Your Boyfriend

    My first thought after typing that title was, "God, so many people are going to read this and think, 'Isn't it obvious? If you don't know the difference between a boyfriend and a booty call, you're pretty stupid.'"

If you're spending time with someone and you don't feel secure in the relationship, it's not a secure relationship. It really is that simple. The reason wrapping your mind around that simple truth is so difficult for some of us is we want to be in relationships so badly, and narcissistic, selfish people are willing to obfuscate the truth and manipulate your vulnerability to get what they want from you. Here are 7 signs he's just a booty call and not your boyfriend. - By Carolyn Castiglia

      You ask him to be your boyfriend and he says he doesn't like labels
      You would think this would be the clearest sign of all, but notice how instead of saying, "I don't want to be your boyfriend" he says something like, "Baby, come on, I mean, you know I like you, I just think that word boyfriend is so childish."

Just run. No matter how good he is in bed.
