Should You Keep Him Or Throw Him Back?

Will the guy you're dating today make you happy tomorrow? Here are three signs you should keep him around:nn1. He likes women. He speaks highly of his mother and sisters (unless, of course, they're just horrible people). He generally likes his friends' wives and girlfriends. He speaks well and respectfully of most of the women in his office. Working for a woman suits him just fine, as long as she's fair and pays him well.nn2. He's a door-holder. He holds elevators for other people. He's pleasant to waitresses, clerks, and postal workers. He makes eye contact and says "please" and "thank you."nn3. He's generous without being extravagant. He's happy to buy things he can afford (for example, he might pick up the dinner check for you and another couple if he has the money for it. He doesn't use credit cards to buy things he cannot afford).nnThree signs you should throw him back:nn1. He starts sentences with, "You know how women are..." He thinks he should be the boss. He refers to women by insulting names (you can fill in the blanks).nn2. Without considering your feelings, he makes proclamations about your future together; for instance, "When we get married, we're going to have at least five children."nn3. He complains about aspects of his life that he could change, especially his job. Warning: A guy who hates his job will become the husband who hates his job--and who ends up resenting you, your future children, and household responsibilities for preventing him from leaving it. This is a recipe for a hellish marriage.nnWhen it comes to men, choose wisely. This is your life we're talking about!nn
