A female Australia age 36-40, *eccamega writes:

I took things slowly with my ex, went on dates, met his friends and family, didn't sleep with him until at least a couple of months. Yet I still got played. Still got cheated on and dumped by text. So how can you tell?

xanthic agony auntPlayers act differently than someone that would cheat if given the opportunity. Players lose patience quickly, and usually move on once they've gotten what they wanted or haven't gotten it soon enough.

On the other hand, there's no way to tell who will cheat on you and who won't. One of the clearest signs is usually sudden distance or moodiness, especially if your partner hadn't acted that way before, though obviously there are exceptions.

The best thing to do in any case is trust your instincts. I've been in a situation very similar to yours and wasn't prepared at all for it, even though I knew something was off towards the end. I brushed it off thinking it was nothing. If something doesn't feel right, it probably isn't.

chigirl agony auntWhen it comes to terms here I will use "player" for someone who's not serious about dating and who likes to sleep around, sometimes known as a manwhore. A "cheater" on the other hand don't have the typical signs of a player, but is a breed of his own.
