He is Mr Wrong: The Signs

Discover how to stay away from Mr. Wrong so you can make some room for Mr. Right!

Let's be honest with ourselves. Sometimes, we just know certain guys aren't right for us, but we ignore the warning signs anyway. We hope that they'll change. Or that they'll grow out of it. Or that somehow, all of our love and devotion will rub off on them. Not so! So let's get real about all of the Mr. Wrongs out there.

* He won't tell you he loves you -- or even that he likes you. If he can't express any of his feelings for you after six months, or even a year for that matter, you've got to face facts. He's not that into you. If he was, he would muster up the courage to let you know -- or to at least make sure you felt the same way.

* He won't hang out with you in public. He's either ashamed or afraid he'll get caught. Either way, he is not a keeper.

* He is unavailable on all major holidays, include Valentine's Day and his birthday. Here is a hint: He's already married or otherwise engaged. Don't buy excuse after excuse that his mother wants to be with him on every holiday. Can't he bring you along? And what is his excuse for Valentine's Day? Is he getting a couple's massage with his mom?

* He is paranoid that you'll read his email, look at his cell phone or see his computer screen when he's chatting. This is an easy one: The man has something to hide.

* He hits you, yells at you or makes you feel like you're not worth anything. Any one of these -- or anything along these lines -- are deal breakers. You deserve better. And abuse in any form isn't love.

Think about it. Life is too short to be wasting your time with Mr Wrong.
