Everyone has their hot buttons, and for me it's 5 and 6.<BR/><BR/>Money - if a woman starts asking me how much I make, I won't even consider a second date. Be smart, be creative, look for clues - if I own a home in an affluent neighborhood, you can be pretty sure I'm doing fine, even if you see me wearing an old T-shirt and shorts. (not typical first date attire, but you get the point)<BR/><BR/>Marriage/Ex-spouses - a first date is too soon to talk future marriage, and ex-spouses should definitely not come up. Yikes. That's a huge turnoff.<BR/><BR/>As for 10 - we learn from our mistakes. I've been single for 8 years since my divorce, but I've learned a lot, grown a ton, evolved, become more self aware, etc. Of course, I do hope to enter a relationship that lasts for a while (my longest post-divorce relationship lasted a little over a year)<BR/><BR/>You know tons!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
