Whether you're swiping through the eligible bachelors on your favorite dating app or waiting patiently to meet up with the blind date your friends set you up on, be on the lookout for signs that this "nice guy" is definitely not the one.
Any guy who calls themselves "Mr. Nice Guy" is super suspicious. Genuinely nice people don't usually feel the need to promote it, so be wary of men who quantify their kindness. "I'm not like other guys," isn't always a great thing to hear.
Another behavior to watch out for is overwhelming affection and elaborate, backhanded compliments. On a Reddit thread asking users to identify toxic nice guy red flags, one commenter wrote, "[My ex] had me on a pedestal at first. He'd go along with everything I said but then do things to sabotage it. Passive aggression. Manipulation." Another reddit user shared that her toxic nice guy "became very clingy and critical. Over affectionate, lots of sarcasm directed at me and being condescending."
Men with nice guy syndrome will often mistake friendship for romantic interest. So if they do try to befriend you, they probably find you extremely attractive, and if you don't return the favor, they will blame it on you for not wanting to be "treated like a queen." They might think they're being the nice guy of your dreams, but really, they're just giving off creepy vibes.
