I think it would be a good idea to start a thread on how to tell when the person you're dating is not the one, and it's time to look elsewhere. What are the warning signals?

My experience has shown:

*When you go out on a date, the only kind of place he ever wants to go is a bar, nightclub, or other place where the focus is alcohol. That means HIS focus is alcohol, not you, not love, not having a relationship.

*He moves too fast. You just met yesterday, but he's already calling you "baby" and trying to get you into bed. This one says, "I want a relationship," but means, "I want you to be my free booty call, so I don't have to pay a hooker."

*He's a mama's boy. You're always going to come in second place behind her. Sometimes he even still lives with his mama, and she cooks for him, does his laundry, etc. This one is accustomed to being waited on, and often will expect you to cater to him just as much as mama does. I can understand falling on hard times and having to move back into the nest, but it seems that someone in that situation should hold off on dating until he gets his life back on track. Oh, and if mama has to approve his dates--RUN!

*He drives like a maniac. He is the poster boy for road rage. He yells at the other drivers, makes rude gestures, or leans on the horn. And the traffic light turned red on purpose, just to tick him off.

*"Women belong in the kitchen" jokes are all the rage nowadays, but if he makes too many of them, I can't help but wonder if he really does feel that way.

Please note: I don't mean this to be against men. My negative examples are men for one reason only, and that's because as a heterosexual woman, that's what I dated. Any of the above behaviors would be red flags in a woman too.

Can you add any others?
Thanks for this!
