“Never date” types- If you are looking for a serious relationship, don't waste your time with people, who say they will never get married. Date only singles who are ready to settle down.
- Try to figure out if your date is really interested in you, or just passing time while waiting for someone else to come along.
- Stay away from singles with financial problems. Make it easy for yourself by dating people who are financially stable.
- Stay away from singles that can't keep a job. You don't need someone who would count on you to make ends meet.
- Avoid irresponsible people. You want someone you can count on in your life.
- Never date a person who has a bad temper. Respect yourself.
- Never date someone who can't keep his/her eyes off members of the opposite sex. You want to be the only one in their life. Don't look for trouble.
- Stay a hundred miles away from anyone, who is bitter about love or marriage. Don't invest your efforts in trying to change them.
- Don't play a shrink, a nurse, or a missionary in a relationship. You will never change a drug addicts, alcoholic, sex addict, or an emotionally sick person, who will never be able to give back. Such relationships usually end up in disillusionment.
- Don't date people whose background, values, and religious beliefs are totally opposite to yours. Such relationships may seem exciting and challenging at the beginning, but they hardly ever work.
- Don't date people who are much older or younger. Be realistic. Eventually such relationships hit too many snags of incompatibility.
- Avoid domineering people who want you to spend every moment with them, depriving you of your own life and independence.
- Stay clear from people who always want to steal the show, no matter where or with whom you are. It might be fun at the beginning, but it might be too late when you finally realize that you need some attention too, and don't agree to play the second fiddle for the rest of your life.
It's not all black and white. There might be people who have some of the above traits and still may turn out to be good partners. Or, based on your own experience, you might make a list of Never Date Types, which will be totally different for this one. You should simply use your common sense and watch out for the guys who make your life miserable. A successful relationship is the one where people respect and appreciate each other. And if you are unhappy more often than satisfied, maybe it is time to move on.
