[QUOTE="mjhawks, post: 650866, member: 18841"] I completely agree with what you've said. I have a long list of "Hell No" that I check off before I will even go on a first date. Of which there have been plenty. I actually go on a lot of first dates, and see a red flag, throw in the towel, I'm done. I spent far to much of my life trying to make an a-hole happy. I'm not wasting any more of mine. So, no drug use!!! No heavy drinking, no racist or homophobes (I think this speaks to their character.) I would also not date anyone who was married more than once. I also inform them upfront (on the dating profile) that I don't fight. I think it's a waste of energy. So if it's a habit of theirs, to look somewhere else. Kids are not an issue for me. I can't hold that against someone, but I make it clear that I'm not looking for a dad for my kids. I've got my stuff covered. I also don't care how much money they make. As long as I don't have to pay their bills, I'm good. It's only now that I've been on multiple dates and see no red flags, right out of the gate, that I question the sanity of it all. And I should say, that I never introduce them to my kids in the beginning. But you never know how someone is going to react to DQ until it happens. [/QUOTE]
