I have no idea, actually—maybe if he says nice things to you and treats you kindly? But I do know that these seven "ways" published in The Bold Italic are not it. Sorry, "tech guys."

1. He views your LinkedIn on the regular

2. He asks you to be in his promo video

3. He gives you early access

4. He gives you a company t-shirt IN THE RIGHT SIZE!

5. He buys a domain that includes both of your names

6. He favorites and retweets you like you're Rihanna

7. He uses your photo in screenshots or app previews

We deserve better. Everyone deserves better than this. Look at this list. If a guy does any of these things to you, you either need to speak with a police officer, or yourself, in the mirror. Be well. [Thought Catalog, SF Bureau]
