Seven Signs You Shouldn’t be Into Him

You know the kind of guy, right. You kind of like him, but you’re unsure whether he sees you as just a friend or is secretly hoping to get love-busy with you. You’re sort of at the point in life where you’ll settle for less than you would have ten years ago. But is he your compromise-prize guy, or do those neon warning signs buzzing at the back of your brain know something you’re not letting yourself see.
He Has a Joint Mortgage with his Mum
If he has a joint mortgage with his mum, he obviously still lives with her and has no future plans to ever have a home and a family of his own. He may be willing to date you but chances are his mum will do everything in her power to steer him clear of any lasting relationship. You’re fighting a battle with an already predestined outcome – you lose!
He’s ‘Friends’ with His All His Exes
Men who don’t want to move on usually keep hold of past relationships to ‘show’ the world that they once ‘had it.’ It’s the equivalent of the overweight, ex-sportsman displaying his medals in a prominent place on his mantelpiece. It’s a reminder (and validation) of something he knows he doesn’t have the energy to achieve again. It’s not unusual for this kind of man to ‘collect’ all his past girlfriends on Face Book so that he could cyber stalk and live vicariously through them. This is all he needs and he’s content with the ‘what-could’ve-beens.’ (Someone press the ‘Uuh-uuh,’ you lose buzzer).

Great article. I think smart articulate women should be able to snatch “eligible bachelors” from their mother’s jaws.

This is good advice, Anne, there are a lot of dirtbags out there…
Women need to be careful and choosy.

Thanks, B Nelson. All my section headings were changed to all caps and I’m sure that ‘dow’ was put there then. Thanks for letting me know. I really appreciate it.

LMAO – this was a wonderful, humorous piece of writing – I really enjoyed it Anne. I think I’ve had brief encounters with most of the blokes you have described so concisely above LOL. I’m pleased to say that I have been in a 15 year relationship with someone who loves me for me and is supportive and caring too.

That was pretty dumb, and what\’s with the WOMEN and GUYS stuff, it\’s WOMEN AND MEN or GUYS and GIRLS/GALS. I just thought that was weird.
