If you are young and just having fun,
dating a party king/queen can be
exciting! If you are looking for a more
serious relationship, the party animal is
not usually the direction you will want to
go in. If you are dating someone who is
40 and still partying like they are 20 -
there's an extremely good chance that
this person has a lot of growing up to do,
and it isn't your job to teach them.
The 'Glass is Half Empty' Dater
Some people just have a negative
outlook on their work, family, and the
world we live in. You may find the
brooding, negative type sort of
intriguing - but eventually, all they
really do is steal all of your positive
energy. It's up to you ultimately, but
we'd say stay away from this type of
dater if you want a happy, peaceful,
drama-free relationship.
The 'Spoiled Rotten' Dater
One of the biggest issues with dating
someone who is "Daddy's Princess" or a
"Mama's Boy" is that they often expect
you to spoil them the exact same way.
Some of them aren't used to being told
no, haven't had to deal with alot of
responsibilities, and their parents will
likely play a big part in any of their
relationships. That's not to say that all
bejeweled offspring behave this way -
just be aware as you start investing in
this type of dater.
The 'Serial' Dater
If you are really ready for something
more serious, don't waste your time with
a "meantime" guy or gal (a.k.a someone
not ready for commitment). Many of us
get lonely and figure, "Hey, hanging
with this person is better than being
alone." Not true. It is better to wait for
the right person rather than wasting
time with the wrong one - who may
distract you from when the right one
actually shows up in your life. Many of
us get invested in these non-commital
types - who are like the ultimate
challenge - and just end up getting hurt.
Looking for Love...
The moral of this slideshow is to not
settle for second best - or whoever
happens to walk through the door. You
deserve the best - so hold out for
someone worthy of your love, who is also
on the same page relationship-wise
Share your stories below - so we can all
learn from each other! Is there a type of
person you've been attracted to which
results in heartbreak? What types of
singles should others watch out for?
The 'Let's Play it By Ear' Dater
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!
The 'Let's Hang Out' Dater
And by hanging out, we mean with all of
their friends in tow. All the time. This
dater might at first seem alluring, super-
sociable, fun and the life of the party. It
gets tough when you actually want to
start developing something with them -
because their friends are always around.
Like a crutch, this dater uses his/her
pals to keep you at an emotional
distance. It is likely that nothing serious
will come out of this situation - so time
to leave the party!
The 'All About Me' Dater
This dater has a lot to say - about
themselves! You may not mind in the
beginning, but will soon realize, "Hey,
we just spent another date talking about
him/her. Wow, this person has a lot
going on. Always." You always end up
seeing movies they want to see or eating
at restaurants they choose, and soon
begin to lose yourself in their midst. This
type may eventually commit - but do you
really want to be with such a self-
absorbed individual?
The 'Hot and Cold' Dater
One minute they are all over you, the
next they seem irritated at you - and you
have no clue why. You then spend the
next day obsessing over what you may
have done wrong. And so the cycle
continues. Clearly, this person has some
issues, but do you really want to stick
around and figure out what they are?
When looking for love and a long-term
relationship, it is important to be with
someone who is consistent and stable.
Life will throw you enough curve balls as
it is.
