Looking for Love? 8 Single Types to Avoid

The 'Let's Play it By Ear' Dater (1/9)

Next Slide

This type of person is one of the most frustrating. They absolutely won't commit to any sort of date in the near future - let alone be a good, reliable partner for the long-term. If you meet someone who likes to say, "I'll let you know...maybe...or I will get back to you," do yourself a favor and lose their number. They are either not that into you, opportunists or just have a tough time making decisions due to serious insecurities. You will be saving yourself many moments of aggravation!

Avoid the angry ones.....you know the ones still carrying a grudge for something and ex did 10 years ago. If they can stay angry that long you are in for a really rough ride.

Darn Skippy QE! They end up driving you nuts & causing some major undue stress. Who has time for that?

You are so right. I just got out of "that" relationship. I had NEVER been in that type of relationship. He had kept all of his feelings/experiences with his significant others right at bay with ALL of the emotions. I finally told him, maybe you can hold onto this relationship long enough to ruin your next one. He became overbearing, jealous, possessive, angry and physical...

I totally agree. We all carry the experience, good and bad with us when we move on from another relation, but there's a difference between it turning out to be a healthy experience or a mental issue. The best rule for that is too leave your baggage where it belongs, and request that he or she do the same if they truly sincere in wanting to find love.

So right on the anger thing! My dad had SERIOUS anger issues; he wasn't physically abusive, and was a great guy most of the time, but he regularly lost his temper over things that had never bothered him before, or were inconsequential and it was TERRIFYING as a child to never know what was going to make daddy angry. Anger issues are usually fairly obvious from early on. Don't ignore them. Use extreme caution. :P

I use to attract controling men. They controlled everything and I thought this meant they cared about me until later in the relationship when I wanted to say or do something different it wasn't an option. I stay away from these types of men. I have been in alot of relationships and have been without for over 2 years. I am waiting for the right guy and I believe it will be worth it. And if it doesn't happen, that is alright too.
