Ways To Avoid Dating The Wrong Guy

Here are ways that any woman can avoid dating a man who is a losing candidate for her love life:

First and Foremost, make sure you’re not overeager to get into a relationship. Desperation leads to a multitude of mistakes.

Stay away from men with destructive personal habits. If a guy has a chronic drug, alcohol, or gambling habit, then I advise you to avoid getting romantically involved with him. 

Move on from the mama’s boy. It’s admirable when a guy loves his mother–but not 

when extreme attachment interferes with your romantic relationship.

Beware of a man who is easily bored. If you’re with a guy who seems chronically restless—always ready to move on to the next promising prospect—do yourself a favor and let him get bored with someone else.

Say “No!” to men who are mean-spirited. A man who shows kindness in one moment and hostility the next is no the best for you.

Look out for the guy who loves himself more than you. Confidence is what you want; not conceitedness.

A man’s sense of humor reveals much about his inner self. A  man who put-downs, or laughs at someone else’s expense is not kindhearted.

See through the sarcasm.

Be honest about your motives for wanting a lasting relationship. Are you unable to imagine spending life with anyone else, or are you simply tired of being alone?

Lies can foreshadow big problems later on. Beware of the man who hides the truth—little lies will lead to bigger ones. 

Talk about kids. After the arrival of children is the wrong time to discover you have very different ideas about parenthood. Thoroughly discuss this critical issue well ahead of time.

Observe him in stressful situations. Stress has a way of revealing a person’s true character and ability to handle tough circumstances.

Beware of men who does mot have any kind of ambition. 

Avoid the guys who are masters of disguise. Some men are highly skilled at adopting a persuasive personality, presenting themselves as something they’re not. If you detect such a behavior, ask yourself why the guy feels the need to fool you.

Get to know his friends. His choice of friends is a window into his most unguarded values.

THE BOTTOM LINE:

Dating sucks when you get involved romantically with the wrong man. But dating is enjoyable when there’s a healthy love relationship brewing between two people with high levels of mutual attraction, compatibility, and emotional maturity. It’s great when you’re truly good for each other!
