Bet you’ve tested the dating pool by going to
every-Friday-party, scoping meetings, visiting each
major event scheduled in your city and signing up
for the next ambitious outing, seminar, concert in
advance – all in the name of improving your
chances in the dating game. Your heart is full of
hope and expectations, your feet are heeled, you
had the obligatory manicure and pedicure and your
haircut is simply perfect.
You’re absolutely open to new guys and ready to
talk as with this green-eyed stranger, the one
with that buzz-cut or even your friend’s brother.
He’s maybe not your “dream boat” guy. Your only
goal is to go out and have a nice time. You’re
not setting a firm priority to find a new BF but on
the other hand, it’s always in the back of your
mind to meet your Prince Charming. We also
should understand we all have different standards
when it comes to choosing a guy.
Understand, we’re not going to magically find Mr.
Perfect for you – that totally classy, smart, hugely
funny, brown haired (you see where I’m going
here. You can come up with other traits or
standards!). But we will try to make your task
easier by looking at male types you want to
avoid.
While these rules aren’t set in stone they are very
helpful. Just print these guidelines and read every
time before going on a date.
1. The Sleaze-Ball
He flirts with every girl alive – the waitress, the
fellow passenger girl on a plane, the girl in a
shopping line, the cashier-girl at the end of this
shopping line and even his best friend he’s known
ever since he was in school. He’ll never ever be
honest and serious with you even if he tells you he
is. Avoid dating this guy if you don’t want to spoil
your reputation and don’t even think about any
kind of relationship not to spoil your life.
2. The ‘Awe-I’m-just-a-kid’ Man
This sweet guy just need to grow up. He feels
absolutely comfortable living like he’ll never die
and is still 16. He hasn’t a serious job or even any
kind of job. He sleeps over 10 hours a day, knows
well the release date of the next versions of ‘World
of Tanks’ and GTA. And he will use his mom’s
grocery money to buy one of these software
packages. In summary: he’s totally helpless. He
expects you to be glued to him like an over
protective mommy. He’ll only want you to cook for
him, clean up for him, earn money for him…live for
him. So run, Lola, run! Get a thousand miles away
from this dude and don’t look back.
3. Mr Always Right
Remember Sheldon saying ‘If you don’t mind I’d
like to stop listening to you’. Please note it before
your first date. With this kind of guy it will be the
one and only time you will have to address him –
a simple ‘goodbye’ will do… He is terrible, retched,
putrid, nauseating for your self-esteem thanks to
the constant emotional battering. His ego will
always be in the first row of your relationship.
Ditch him, ladies, ditch him.
4. The Control Freak
He has a big problem with the length of your dress,
with a random glance from a guy having lunch next
to you, with all your male co-workers. Every single
time you’re separated, be ready for his control list:
- phone calls every 15 minutes
- dozens of lashings each phone call
- tones of suspicion every second call
- favorite sentences ‘Where are you?’, ‘Who are
you with right now?’, ‘Why do I hear male
voices?’, ‘do you have something in common with
him?’, ‘It’s your fault’, ‘You’ll pay for this’, ‘Better
tell me the truth’, ‘Tell me the truth before it’s too
late ‘ etc
The list is endless. While you may like all the
attention at first, it’s going to get annoying after
a while. Nip this in the bud, baby. The last thing
you are looking to happen is to be ‘controlled’.
This is the 21st century – girls have been
liberated from that!
5.The ‘I-me-myself’ Guy
Going to have a lunch together? Buckle up for Mr.
Know-It-All! He’ll be kind enough to let you check
the menu but than he’ll give a dozen of comments
according to your order starting from your manner
of speaking with a waiter and ending with your
uneducated gastronomical manners. All these
things he’ll say with a snotty bumbling smile. Are
you ready to look like a fool every time you meet.
And what if you become his steady girl? You’re
doomed thanks to his crappy, snobby, holier-than-
thou attitude!!! Yep? Welcome to the selfish love
paradise, honey!
6. The Grumpy Cat Guy
You never know what to expect from such kind of
person. He sulks for no reason. He’s in a huff for
no reason. The caps lock voice, the swear words
and even abusive language, hysterical pranks are
among his trademarks. You may think there are no
relationships without such emotional accidents but
accidents happen accidentally and his drama
queen behavior is permanent. Wanna be his
whipping GF? Hope you already know the answer.
7. The Fairy Tale Prince
He is not your ‘Prince Charming’. Repeat after me:
‘He is not! He is not! He is Not!’
Everything you’ve ever prayed for… this guy has it
all (still repeat ‘He is Not!’ mantra). He’s tasteful,
well-dressed, funny, interesting with charming eyes
and such a macho, sculpted body. He’s simply
flawless. (‘He is Not!’ mantra)
Every time you accidentally meet his flirty glance
you’re frightened like you’re 15 again.
He has become your secret passion. He is a winner
of your own ‘Sophistication’ Awards ala George
Clooney. You have a deep belief that if destiny
gives you a chance to date him you’ll marry that
night.
If you even still think he’s so perfect please read
‘He is Not!’ mantra. Wanna know why? – He
doesn’t exist! Every person have imperfections.
That’s what truly makes us love and to be beloved
– taking the good with the bad and recognizing
that as human beings all of us are imperfect
creatures.
So please leave him and go date someone
absolutely real and totally imperfect. Who knows
who will become you ‘Prince Charming’?!
