This includes you always having to settle your lunch or dinner bill, or having to “chip in” a huge amount because it’s time for them to finally launch his long-awaited business venture – which they need capital for. They usually have a sketchy financial status, which requires you to constantly dig in your purse.

Things move very quickly 

If it feels like it’s too good to be true, then it probably is. One of the signs you’re dating a con artist could be him wanting to move quickly into a relationship. He may even pop the question, or ask you to move in with him, so he’s able to get what he wants from you.

If you’re asking yourself questions like: “Is this the right person for me? Am I ready to be with this person forever? Am I making the right decision?”, it could mean that he may not be the one for you.
