An expert has shared the three signs that your man is pretending to love you, saying there’s one in particular that should see you ‘just run’ from the relationship.
There are all kinds of red flags to look out for when it comes to coupling up, but some might be easier to spot than others.
Jake Caringer (@jakecares) regularly posts dating advice online, whether it’s signs that you’re in a toxic relationship or the things guys do when they secretly like you.

In a recent TikTok video, he shared three things that might mean your other half is pretending to love you, warning at the beginning of the clip: “And the third one, if you see this one, just run, end it – you don’t want anything to do with this person.”
Caringer began: “Number one: he has wondering eyes. He has a lack of respect for you and a lack of self discipline if he does this.
“He’s on his phone checking out girls, liking their photos. He's out with his friends checking out girls all the time... This means he’s ultimately entertaining all these thoughts of all these other women that aren’t you.”

He went on to say that the second sign was that the partner ‘keeps telling or he keeps telling lies, and then covering them up with flattery’.
“This is very manipulative behaviour, and you have to watch out because the flattery will make you blind,” he said.
“But once they get away with a little bit, they’ll take a little more and a little more and pretty soon they’re covering up huge lies and huge secrets.”
Finally, Caringer added: “Number three: don’t hate me... he does not take responsibility for his own actions, and then he blames you instead. This is a narcissist, you have to be careful because eventually they're gonna blame you and they’re gonna eat away at you until you feel so small and so tiny and helpless in this relationship and that everything is your fault.”

The post seemed to strike a chord with many TikTokers, with one commenting: “The hardest part is accepting he’s a narcissist and the fact they don’t care when they hurt your feelings.”
Someone else said: “This is why I decided to be single. It was hard to get [used] to... but now I’m happy and content.”
A third wrote: “I finally love the feeling or not being able to relate this to my man.”
