Dating Disasters are Not Funny at the Time

If you are reading this article, the chances are that you have had more than your fair share of dating disasters. You might not want to let it happen to you again and will be on the lookout for anecdotes or other advice written by girls who have had similar experiences. It\’s fun to look back on it now, for sure, but at the time it wasn\’t really that pleasant, was it?
Dating disasters come in all shapes and sizes. For example, the guy who you went out with last weekend could have been a real cheapskate. Now we know that we don\’t need a millionaire it to be happy, but the opposite is most definitely unpleasant. There\’s nothing wrong with being frugal, especially in this type of economy, but there is a way to treat a girl, especially on a first date. Remember, first impressions are important.
Steer clear of a dramatic guy if you don\’t want to engage in a dating disaster with him. You need somebody well-rounded and balanced and not someone who likes to talk about gossip and other people\’s misfortunes. If he hangs around with people who are overly dramatic and give rise to this kind of story, then he is in the wrong circles for you, so be careful.
As girls, we are often accused of being too needy, but sometimes you will come across a guy who is exactly that. This is not a very endearing trait in a guy, is it? If he is overly eager to talk to you on a regular basis, to the point of getting annoying, then he probably has some dating disasters and skeletons in his closet as well, or is maybe afraid of rejection, or both.
If you think you found a guy unlike any other and he is almost too good to be true, then it probably is a dating disaster ready to happen. The confident and overly strong guy could theoretically meet all of your wishes, but remember that not one of us is perfect and he may well be hiding something, such as another affair.
There\’s nothing wrong being assertive in a business or professional situation, but the self-righteous guy in a personal situation can be ready to set up a dating disaster. Just watch to see if he starts to criticize everything and everyone, constantly.
A guy who is self-confident and thinks he is \”God\’s gift\” to women is one of the worst dating disasters you can encounter. He may be ready to move through all the bases during first meeting and want to get very intimate too quickly. Be polite but firm with him and move on to the next one.
Maybe it\’s a rite of passage and we all have to go through a certain number of dating disasters before we can find the right guy. It is certainly true that these kind of encounters make us stronger and they do provide for great conversation when you meet all the girls on a Friday evening for drinks!
