All the single ladies, all the single ladies…and the one's who're dating too, ATTENTION!

You might think you have or might find the perfect guy you've been waiting for.

But is he the one? How do you tell?

Here are some tips to understand the difference between the dude, the jerk and the good guy.

Confused fellow

"What will you have? Coffee or something to eat?", "umm, I don't know" Sounds familiar?

If you are with a guy who's always confused about everything, from what band he likes to what movie he wants to go to, you are probably going to end up frustrated and unhappy.

These are also the types of men with commitment issues, because they are NEVER sure.

He's cute but…

This or that, you are always complaining about him to your friends and you always ALWAYS say "but he's so cute" in the end.

Darling, there's more to a relationship than having a cute guy.

Don't be with someone who can't be more than cute or pretty.

Why you gotta be so mean

Notice how he treats other people, and specially coworkers and waiters.

Now he might be nice to you, but of course he will be, you are his date.

But if he's rude to other people around, RUN.

This person has potential to be an abusive boyfriend.

STILL complains about his ex girlfriend

He might be the whiny one, or might have unresolved issues with his former girlfriend.

You don't have to listen to them.

Trust me, it never ends well.

Don't be his mommy

Was your first date more like a counselling session?

Do you ever keep all your romantic plans aside just because he's sad about something and you have to console him?

Girls, please don't be a with a guy who acts like he's always on his period.

NEVER available

You don't want to be with a guy who never takes your calls, doesn't reply your messages and NEVER calls back.

How you expect him to be there for you when he doesn't even take you calls, sweetie?

ALWAYS calling

Just like our aforementioned guy, you don't want to be with someone who keeps calling you all the time.

You need your space.

Doesn't want to be seen with you

So you both are always chatting, skyping and using all other social media to keep in touch.

But he rarely comes to see you, hmmm.. Suspicious!

He's either too lazy to leave his couch or doesn't want to be seen in public with you.

Either ways, if you want to have an unfulfilling relationship, go ahead.

Your opinion just doesn't matter

He doesn't care for your opinion, neither does he take your suggestion. RUN!
