I finished reading
He's Just Not That Into You last night. At the end of each chapter there are these little activities to do. I mostly read through the activities and then ignored them and continued on to the next chapter. At the end of the final chapter the activity was to set ten dating standards for yourself. This activity seemed a bit more useful than the others so I decided to do it and based it off of my past relationships.
MY SUPER-HELPFUL STANDARDS THAT I WILL NEVER EVER FORGET OR FORSAKE NO MATTER HOW HOT I THINK HE IS (exact words from the book):
1. I will not date a guy who doesn't have his priorities straight.
2. I will not date a guy who doesn't have opinions of his own.
3. I will not date a guy who's always late.
4. I will not date a guy who parties and gets drunk every Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
5. I will not date a guy who steals (no matter what you call it, it's still stealing).
6. I will not date a guy who's afraid to tell me how he feels.
7. I will not date a guy who brings my self esteem down.
8. I will not date a guy who lies.
9. I will not date a guy who only thinks about himself.
10. I will not date a guy who constantly cancels dates on me and doesn't let me know.
I know I only listed ten, but there's definitely more. What are some of your standards?
True

@Dare2BDiferentt@xanga - Your list was silly.
"1. Never date a girl who reads datingish." Why are you reading it if you don't want her to read it.
@Dare2BDiferentt@xanga - lol don't tell my bf i read datingish!
lists are silly.
so you want perfection?
whoops. fresh outta that.
i love all the lists mentioned, so my list is all these lists rolled into one :\
lol.
That sounds like my boy. Guess I've found perfection!
.
1. Never date a girl that makes a list of guys she won't date.
1. Never date a guy I don't respect.
And yeah... That's it.
It seems like I fit in all of the requirements listed by all the commenters that I've read so far. (aside from the guy) Yet, I'm still single. Seems maybe girls don't go for the same things they list here.
@Dare2BDiferentt@xanga - that sounds mean....
@katberg@xanga - i like you list! :)
Almost all of these lists are retarded. These girls are idiots.
Hmm...I guess I'll try this out
1. I will never date a guy who can't make me laugh.
2. I will never date a guy who I cannot trust.
3. I will never date a guy who is unwilling to help and support me.
4. I will never date a guy who does not have ambition.
5. I will never date a guy who cannot communicate honestly with me.
6. I will never date a guy who disrespects my friends/ my family/ me.
7. I will never date a guy who smokes (one of my pet peeves...).
8. I will never date a guy who is lazy and/or inconsiderate.
9. I will never date a guy who is not self sufficient or does not intend to be self sufficient (i.e. cook, clean, pay bills, and etc).
10. I will never date a guy who isn't looking for a serious relationship.
Man its hard limiting it to just 10...
