6 Things For You To Remember If You Are Dating An Alpha Male

An alpha male is the type of guy who loves to be the boss. He’s in charge and he’s the one who makes decisions. Whether it’s in his job, relationship, or friendships, he’s the one calling the shots.

And that’s usually really attractive to certain women, for obvious reasons. A guy in charge is the type to take action and put effort into things. It’s sexy watching a guy get what he wants. It gives many people a very secure feeling.

You might not always have the best time dating an alpha male, though. They sound great and seem sexy at first, but after a little while, you could start to see their dominance as bossiness. This isn’t always the best thing.

However, if you’ve fallen for someone who’s the alpha male, you’ll need some tips for making it work. Here are a few things for you to remember if you’re dating an alpha male.

# Don’t try to date one if you’re an alpha, too

A lot of people think they should go for someone who’s like them. They have a lot in common so, why not? The problem here is that your personalities are going to clash.

If you’re dominant and in charge and they’re also trying to be in charge, you’ll butt heads. You’ll both also get frustrated by feeling like your partner is trying to boss you around. If you have a very strong alpha personality, don’t try to date an alpha male.

# Don’t be a pushover

On the flip side, you also don’t want to be a very weak personality type. You’ll get stomped all over. You can’t be a pushover when dating an alpha male because they’ll literally run the entire relationship.

And that’s definitely not a good thing. You’ll be really unhappy this way because your opinions and ideas will just get lost beneath the alpha male’s. Plus, he won’t really like that either because stomping all over you won’t make him feel like he’s in charge. It’ll just feel like you don’t have any backbone, which isn’t attractive.

# Don’t let them get away with mistreatment

Some alpha males are known for being bad boyfriends and partners. Not all, obviously, but these types of guys get bad reputations for a reason. Because they have such pushy personalities, it’s easy to just let them do what they want simply because it’s hard for you to stand up to them.

But you have to. In order for the relationship to work, he needs to respect you. And that means if he’s ever acting like a dick due to his dominant personality, you have to put him in his place.

# Challenge him sometimes

Just because a guy is an alpha male doesn’t mean he doesn’t want to be challenged. In fact, he’ll probably love to be challenged with some things. Just make sure you don’t try to do this in front of his friends.

Instead, do it with a topic of conversation. So you’re not challenging his authority but rather, you’re challenging his view on a specific topic. This will help keep him interested because otherwise, he’ll be bored.

# Let him know it’s okay to be vulnerable with you

Guys who are always the alpha in the room tend to need a place to break down. Maintaining that control all the time is really difficult. If they feel like they always have to be this tough guy around you too, he’ll be very unhappy.

So while you still have to boost his alpha ego, you also want to show him it’s okay to not be this super put together, in-charge person. Let him break down while also still treating him like an alpha at the same time.

# Don’t embarrass him in front of his friends or coworkers

This is a major thing to remember if you want your relationship with an alpha male to work out. Never put him down or embarrass him in front of the people he’s close to.

Sure, you can laugh and joke around but any serious digs will make him very upset. He’s the authority guy, remember? He won’t like having others look at him as something lower.
