Been single for long? You might be ready to jump into dating, but when you do, be on the lookout for the types of daters you should avoid.
Me, Myself, and I
So, this type of dater is self-centered, and can definitely come in various degrees of self-centeredness. Does your date always pick your movie for date night? Does he favor satisfying his own sexual needs over your own? Many times, daters like this choose to date more submissive types to get away with being all about him or herself. Does she always talk about herself? This behavior can get old — these types may commit, but do you want to be with someone like that anyway?
“I’ll Get Back To You”
“Hey, want to go out this Saturday?” If your date always responds with, “I’ll get back to you,” “I’ll let you know,” “Maybe,” or “Let’s play it by ear,” you could be in for one frustrating ride. Do yourself a favor and don’t waste your time. This date’s either too insecure, is trying to take advantage of you, or just isn’t all that into you. With these types, not only will you end up frustrated, you’ll end up with someone who isn’t good for the long run.
Three’s Company
You might think this type is super sociable — the life of the party! You hang out together with a few friends and have a blast. You want to go out on another date, but he insists that you all hang out as a group again, or he brings his bros along. What’s with all the friends, all the time? It’ll get old quickly. With their friends around, how will your relationship grow? These types tend to need a crutch and won’t take your relationship seriously. Get out!
Anger Issues
Everyone gets angry at some point. But if you’re dating someone who holds grudges and goes over the edge frequently, it’s a sign that you may be dating an angry type. These types can end up being jealous, overbearing, possessive, stressful… and sometimes even violent. It’s best to leave your baggage behind, especially while dating. If your date can’t do the same, don’t waste your time.
The Debbie Downer
Some people view their world as glass half empty… always. We all have our down moments, but a type like this could really get you down. A mysterious, brooding type may be intriguing at first, but he or she will probably suck the positive energy right out of you. In the end, it’s up to you, but you want a happy, drama-free relationship, right?
