There's nothing like the joy of a first date. Whatever it is you decide to do for the big event, the main idea is to move beyond the level of friendship and find out if there's potential for a more intimate relationship. But don't let that description scare you! With an open mind (use the mantra "It's Just a F**king Date" from the bestselling book by that title) it could actually be fun. And by being present during your time together, you're better able to spot potential issues with ease. In the course of getting to know each other if one these red flags pops up save yourself some trouble and move on:
- He's been divorced three times. Unless he's still knee deep in therapy or a recovering addict, assume there's a reason for this and that he hasn't changed. You will not be the one to save him! There is no prize. There is no reward. You won't succeed where others have failed. He will bring you down with him in every way. And he's already down. Trust me.
