These are your instincts actually letting you know that something is wrong with this man.

A sign that you could be dealing with a potentially controlling man is if you notice that he is always coming in to view your online dating profile whenever you are actively using it.

You may have already had a few conversations with him on the online dating site and thereby still be in the process of getting to know him.

However, you may have noticed that he tends to visit your online dating profile a lot, especially when you are actively using it.

This is a sign of a potentially controlling man because he wants you to notice that he has been inside your online dating profile.

In essence, he wants you to get the sense that he is watching you.

He is hoping that this makes you feel uneasy about talking to any other man on the online dating site but him.

A sign of a potentially controlling man on an online dating site is when you notice that he tends to “like” and “unlike” pictures on your online dating profile.

He will “like” a picture or more one day. On another day, he may come back and “unlike” some of those pictures.

He typically “likes” and “unlikes” pictures because he wants to have control over your emotions.

If he wants to make you feel good one day, he will come into your online dating profile and “like” a picture or more.

However, on another day, if he wants to make you feel anxious or unhappy, he will come back and “unlike” some pictures.

This is how he is hoping to control your emotions.

He wants to be able to manipulate them whenever he feels appropriate so that he is able to have some form of control over his interaction with you.

If he is able to manipulate your emotions from happy to sad at will, he knows that if he were to ever get into a relationship with you, he would be able to control your emotions in the real world as well.

A sign of a potentially controlling man on an online dating site is when he is quick to ask you about what kept you from replying to the last message that he sent you more promptly.

In other words, if he were to send you a message on the online dating site and it took you several hours or more to respond to him, he may ask you about what took you so long when he receives his response from you.

A controlling man will typically do this because he would want you to feel guilty and self-conscious about the fact that you didn’t respond to his message promptly.

By so doing, he is hoping that you are instantly on alert whenever you receive a message from him.

He wants you to send that response back to him promptly so that he can start getting you into a strict regiment.

This is a way by which he can get you to prioritize his messages whenever you receive them.

Doing this would keep him ahead of any other men that you may also be talking to on the online dating site.

He knows that whenever you send him a prompt response to his message, you are demonstrating that you are putting him ahead of all the other men.

This makes him feel really empowered.

As long as he is able to control the speed in which you respond to his messages, he is able to control the pace of his interaction with you.

Oftentimes, a controlling man likes the mental reassurance that he is moving the interaction at his own pace and in the direction that he wants it to lead to.

It is always about what he wants and never about what you want.
