Dating Tales

We should all be picky and not settle for someone that doesn’t make us happy. No argument there. But for some of you out there (you know who you are) your need to be sooooooo picky might be hurting you more than it’s helping you. Don’t miss out on any opportunities because you are too caught up on little details that won’t matter in the whole scheme of things.

Not sure if you are too picky? Here are seven signs that say you might be.

Sign #1: You have a height requirement. If he is only a half an inch too short, you still won’t go out with him.

Sign #2: Your last boyfriend drove a Honda and it’s too painful to get in another one again—too bad 40% of men in your area drive one.

Sign #3: You come to the first date equipped with a list of ten questions. If he doesn’t answer all ten questions right, you refuse a second date.

Sign #4: One of the questions on your list is whether or not he butters his popcorn, which you expect him to answer “no.”

Sign #5: Before meeting you ask him to pronounce and spell his last name so that you can practice saying your first name along with it. If you don’t like the ring of it, you call him to cancel.

Sign #6: Your dream guy is exactly two years and eight months older than you.

Sign #7: If he doesn’t open your car door, pull out your chair at dinner, or run circles around you to open every other door, he’s completely out of the question.
