Is the guy or girl you’re interested in confident or arrogant?
I believe that everyone needs a certain amount of confidence to have a successful relationship with his or her significant other. But as the old saying goes: “Too much of a good thing is bad.”
Having confidence means that you are aware of your abilities and proud of them.
Being arrogant means that you exaggerate your abilities in your own mind to the point of mutilation.
So how do you decide if the person you want to be with is on the right side of confidence or over the edge with arrogance?
Here are five signs that can determine if a person is arrogant.
1. Arrogant people rarely make eye contact.

Here are five signs that can determine if a person is arrogant.
1. Arrogant people rarely make eye contact.
They talk to you, but they are constantly looking around for someone else to talk to that may benefit them more than you. Anytime I’m on a date and the guy scans the room, I know it’s time to say goodbye.
2. Arrogant people are an expert in everything.
2. Arrogant people are an expert in everything.
It doesn’t matter the topic, they know exactly how to do it and do it better than anyone else. I once dated a guy who tried to tell me all about the difference between the Treble Clef and the Bass Clef…unfortunately, he got them mixed up.
3. Arrogant people interrupt others…often.

They believe that what they have to say is more important than anything you can say, and they interrupt you mid-story. This one irritates me a lot. I want to hear your stories, but show me the same courtesy when I’m sharing mine.
4. Arrogant people are late.

Apparently tardiness is another trait of the arrogant people out there. They seem to think you should wait on them because their time is more precious than yours. I’m a big stickler for being five minutes early. I don’t make my date wait, so they’d better not make me.
5. Arrogant people brag.

Those with this character trait need to beef up their life experiences. They will brag about how great they are in anything, from brushing their teeth to painting a masterpiece. They’re always reliving their glory days.
These are not all the signs, but to me, they’re the most important. If you find yourself interested in someone who exhibits more than two of these signs, you need to re-evaluate your standards.
