You know your dating the wrong guy when they call you cupcake, pet, etc.

Love the article, very insightful, lighthearted, and easy to remember.

I think sometimes it’s because women cannot handle the thought of being a single parent and do not want to put in to the ‘single-mom’ category. I know a lot of single mothers that are doing just as well! Also I think it is the pressure that women are put under to meet someone! Love this blog!

You’re wasting your time if you aren’t dating each other for the same reasons, your values don’t align, and the other person doesn’t think they won the lottery when they found you.

I really only want to spend time with my child. On the ONE night I get to myself – it is a MONDAY night too so not a lot of options for that one – I usually just get things done that I don’t want to drag my kid along to do… example getting groceries.

I’ve been doing the online dating thing, as it is the only way I can “meet” someone, but typically I find it even hard to get interested in ‘wasting’ my time to meet in person for the first time. LOL! No one seems that interesting. And even after meeting them, there is no real desire there… You should get excited shouldn’t you – about wanting to meet up and spend time with someone? What is the point otherwise. I think I will call it quits again on this round of dating, because I just don’t find myself even thinking about the prospects!

A sign that the guy is a waste of time is when after your movie date, you think, wow, I just paid 40 bucks for that movie (i.e. the total cost of the babysitter)

I agree with Sassy QueenPin Mama! I was so happy to read these, signs that appeal to my heart not my sense. It was a breath of fresh air. I currently single but kept thinking about the last guy I was really into and honestly NONE of these applied. I was crazy for him. Too crazy. But that’s not the point. Here are the two that I had, well, a bit of a glitch w/
#5- I used to pick his brain about work because I found his work fascinating. I didn’t realize it could be such an insult. Truth is as soon as I’d see him I really wouldn’t want to talk about much at all- LOL. Maybe I was just using his work as a way to slow things down a bit.
#9- I think this is implying that you’re hoping to be sexy for somebody else but I have to say that when I’m really into someone is when I feel my MOST sexy so I’ll wear my sexy undies everyday, just thinking about him.
\
Now, here’s one I have to add- though it is a little too practical— Keep watch to see if he does 1-10 w/you. If you don’t excite him but you’re crazy about him,… well… maybe you might want to reconsider?

I’ve been thinking about this one, off and on.

I could have saved a lot of time (and heartache) if I’d paid more attention to my kids’ gut responses.

Depending on their ages, sometimes they can sniff out a good one (or not so good one) better than we can!

Finding this is happening more often than not. Since all my time is spent either on my kids or doing things for the kids when I don’t have them, I turned to the online dating thing. I have been on a few dates now and not a single spark.

I do feel like I am wasting my time. Great list! I think I hit just about every point except for the one about wearing my sexy panties.

Dating will get better at some point.

When I find myself thinking I would rather snuggle with my kids…or even the dog than with a guy, it must be over. When it starts feeling less like fun and more like work. When an evening ALONE is more appealing than an evening with him, thats a sign. When a man lets me down…and I keep thinking about it, its time to go. I have so many signs that I am with the wrong man…its no wonder I am perpetually single. I seem to have a 2 date rule. Usually after the second date I know it just isnt right. If I cant see a man “fitting” with my little family of three, I move on. Why waste time?

LOL! Loved these tips. I would add… if you find yourself making excuses NOT to see him. Like Oh I have laundry to do Friday night. (and yes I have actually said this!)

I have long since learned to walk in truth. Now I don’t make excuses, I just tell the truth even if I know they feel otherwise and think that I might be the one for them.
