How To Avoid Dating Mister Wrong

Are you the type of woman who always ends up with Mister Wrong? Does it seem like you have a radar for the kind of guy who always disappoints? Are you worried that your ability to choose an eligible bachelor is virtually nil? Don't worry, you're definitely not alone! A lot of women feel this way. This article will give you some tips and tricks to separate the jerks from the gentlemen.

We've all heard the romantic fairytales that would have us believing that you will know your true love the second you lay eyes on him. While it's a nice idea, life isn't a Shakespeare play and love isn't that simple. Sure, when you meet a new guy and you feel butterflies, it can be exciting. But don't let that feeling take over!

Give this guy a minute to make his character known before you jump to any conclusions about how perfect your children would look with his genes. There's no need to rush into anything just because he is attractive and perhaps has some qualities that look good on paper. Take the time to get to know him before making any commitments or throwing your heart into the ring.

It takes significant time to get to know a person, and you can't let infatuation lead you down the wrong path. Sure, he's got a great body and a decent job, and you even have some similar interests. But do you know anything about him as a person? How will he act if you two start dating? Is he the type of guy that is considerate and will hold the door for you, listen to you vent about work or get along with your family? Or is he the kind of man who will flake on returning your phone calls, complain about dinner and blow you off to hang out with his friends? If you can't answer this question from experience, don't rush into a relationship.

There's nothing wrong with feeling that little flutter in your heart after only a date or two. It could even mean that you are on a road to a successful romantic pairing. It could, however, just mean that you're having dinner with someone whose company you enjoy. Remember that there is no deadline in love, and the more time you spend getting to know someone, the better your chances of weeding out players, losers and jerks is.
