25 Ways to Avoid an Ambivalent Man

Dear Broken Hearted Girl,

When you're moving on from a divorce, you are going to meet all types of men. There's the player, the serial dater and sometimes the ambivalent man.

Avoid another broken heart by avoiding this man.


Here are Rhonda Findling's 25 ways to avoid an Ambivalent Man:



Ambivalent Man- 1. one who exhibits or feels ambivalence toward women. 2. one who plays games. He wants a relationship; he wants to break up. He’s confused, mixed up, inconsistent, and unpredictable. Yet he’s irresistible and easy to fall in love with… and almost sure to cause a broken heart.



Sometimes they’re difficult to detect so here are 20 signs you are dealing with an Ambivalent Man:



Sign 1: You feel jerked around by him

Sign 2: He takes a long time to get back to you if you leave him a message

Sign 3: He’s super seductive

Sign 4: He’s unreliable

Sign 5: He pulls the disappearing act

Sign 6: He’s completely unpredictable

Sign 7: He’s self-absorbed

Sign 8: He wants instant gratification

Sign 9: He’s a mystery man

Sign 10: He won’t take responsibility for his own behavior

Sign 11: He’s married or dating other women

Sign 12: He talks constantly about his ex

Sign 13: He plays games from the start

Sign 14: What he says and what he does are completely different

Sign 15: You get the distancing lecture immediately

Sign 16: He’s had no or few relationships with women

Sign 17: He goes to endless singles events

Sign 18: He flirts but never asks you out

Sign 19: He doesn’t give you his home phone number

Sign 20: His life is chaotic

This list is an excerpt from my book “The Commitment Cure: What to Do When You Fall for an Ambivalent Man”.

My 5 new signs that have not been included in “The Commitment Cure” are

He mostly texts you instead of calling you
He says “we” on occasion (when he’s not referring to you and him) making you wonder who “we” is
When he’s back again after disappearing he claims he asked you out or called you, when in reality he never did (gaslighting)
He depends on you to make the next move or initiate
He starts out excited to be connecting with you, then loses quickly interest
