Things that should not require 29 years to figure out

June 3rd, 2005 · 8 Comments

Relationship red flags (or in some cases, RED BLANKETS):

  1. His mom (or sister) does his laundry
  2. His mom (or sister) buys his groceries
  3. He is living with his parents (in a non-temporary situation)
  4. “That’s not how my mom does it” is his blanket response to my cooking
  5. He has his ex-girlfriends name tattooed on his body
  6. He jokingly says the tattoo of his ex-girlfriends name is actually his (fictitious) dead sisters name, then starts referring to it as “it sounded like a good idea at the time”
  7. He shows no interest in having “it sounded like a good idea at the time” reworked or removed
  8. He still talks to “it sounded like a good idea at the time” on a regular basis
  9. Only children don’t always make the best boyfriends
  10. He has a lot of “platonic” female friends staying at his place for extended amounts of time
  11. He’s been active on internet dating sites the entire time we’ve been in a supposedly monogamous relationship
  12. He has unresolved issues from childhood and refuses to address them
  13. Long distance relationships are more likely fail than succeed
  14. Munchies Kids Mix are NOT one of the basic food groups
  15. Rule of thumb for internet dating: If he says he’s 5’7″ he’s most likely 5’4 1/2″ (without shoes)
  16. Drunk dialing to sing I Saw Red three weeks into a new relationship is creepy, not romantic
  17. Blacking out is not a boastful quality
  18. Both of his parents are alcoholics and he’s acquiring DUI’s of his own
  19. So are we gonna fuck or what?” is not a promising beginning to a first date
  20. His name is only one syllable (suggestions from Evil Pants)
  21. And last, but certainly not least: If he says he doesn’t deserve me, he probably doesn’t

    Hey! One syllable names show CHARACTER. And last names should have two syllables. So I have written and so should it be.

    excellent list… #3 in particular, and even worse when he lies about living with his parents…

    Jiggs Casey meets all of these criteria. Is that good or bad?

    What about mysterious guys who only go by their last names?

  • Monkey's Human

    My son has a one syllable name, and he’s an only child. He’s doomed! Doomed I tell you!

    FoM, That probably means Jiggs and I have already dated and neither of us is aware because of our double agent (internet) identities.

    Monkey’s Human, He’s not doomed! This just means he won’t be my Ashton Kutcher twenty years from now.
