Last week i pondered why men are reluctant to extricate themselves from relationships that don’t fulfil them – aka fake relationships. This week, here are seven signs that you might actually be in one of those fake relationships yourself...
[quote]You haven’t met his parents It’s scary when you’re introduced to the potential in-laws, but perhaps you should be more worried if they’ve never heard of you. This either means he doesn’t see any future with you, or he's just embarrassed because he's the lovechild of Goodluck Jonathan and Patience J. Either way, it doesn’t bode well.[/quote]

He doesn’t want to move in with you Some fake relationships last for several blissful, if ultimately pointless, years but their make-or-break moment often arrives when someone suggests sharing a place. Many men are happy to stay in a fake relationship for ages providing they have a quick and easy get-out clause – but there’s nothing quick or easy about lugging a box of ‘Sopranos’ DVDs and an acoustic guitar down some stairs and into a removal van while a woman shouts at you.

He still goes out with his mates a lot Guys will always go out with their mates but it’s reasonable to expect that when they’re in a serious relationship, they’ll do it less. So if he’s regularly coming home in the early hours smelling of Heneken and star, maybe he doesn’t take the relationship very seriously.
Quote
When he goes out with his mates, he never invites you There are two reasons that men have a “lads’ night out”: a) to pull girls or b) to talk about girls. So even if you’re confident he isn’t out chasing other women, there’s still some reason he wants you out of the picture. Most likely, he wants to discuss stuff with his mates that he would never tell you.
Quote
He doesn’t want to change his Facebook status Some guys would be prepared to proclaim their devotion to you anywhere... except Facebook. That’s because you’re not just telling a few close friends you’re unavailable, but virtually everyone you know; exes, colleagues, hot girls you added after meeting them once, even parents (see above). I have a friend who - after being nagged by his fake relationship girlfriend to change his status - spent several hours editing his settings so that when she looked at his profile he would be ‘in a relationship’ but when anyone else viewed it he’d be listed as ‘single’. (Yes, you can do that.)
Quote
He’s uncomfortable with the term ‘boyfriend’ Sometimes men get into fake relationships by accident. They like to start off thinking they’re in a kind of undefined segxwal friendship but somewhere along the way they are compelled – or forced – to make things ‘official’. But it doesn’t mean this was ever their intention, or desire, and he may remain uneasy with it.
Quote
He has an aversion to planning ahead Fake relationships are fragile and can end at any point, so their male protagonists can be reluctant to nail down future events too far in advance. If he’s desperate to see you next week but glazes over whenever you mention going to ABUJA, CALABAR, LONDON ETC on holiday next summer, perhaps he doesn’t fancy the long haul in more ways than one.
Despite agreeing with this view, but it is too simple to scan fake relationship.What of excusing you to pick some call, quickly want you to leave after sex, password is phone and writing name with codes etc.....
