Which one are you?
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Single people have an uncanny habit of assigning people they meet into certain categories: potential booty-call candidate, possible girlfriend/boyfriend, or use them for personal gain.
Yeah, I know. It’s not fair or even fun to be relegated to some of these. It’s frustrating to come to the realization that you have been tagged for booty, but at the very least, you know how much to invest.
At this very moment, I have 3 gentleman in hot pursuit of assigning me to each of the categories. Since I am what is considered a dating veteran (reading: inching on old maid status), I can spot the behavior of the guys and respond accordingly.
I don’t waste my good lipstick and hot shoes on Mr. New Booty. I reserve weekend nights for Mr. She Can Be My Girl, and Mr. I Need a Hookup gets put on the DNA (do not answer) list in my cell phone.
If you are dating someone new, how do you determine what their intentions are? Do you generally decide by the actions, words, money or time spent? Do you know by a hybrid of all of these? Do you think that single people should drop this bad habit, or does it serve us well?
Guys, what causes a woman’s long-term relationship potential profile to rise with you? Aside from her cup size and how she looks in those jeans, how do you identify the ones that are jumpoffs and the ones that you take home to Mom one day?
Ladies, when you meet a new guy, do you size men up for these categories? Aside from hot bodies and flashy cars, how do you figure out which guys you wear the good lipstick and hot shoes for and which one is put on the DNA list?
If you are dating someone right now, do you know which category you have been put in? Are you trying to figure it out? Feel free to ask our readers to help you. They are, after all, dating veterans too!
