10 ways to know he's not the one!

I dated Mike for 3 years.  3 years!  Obviously, I thought Mike was the man I was going to spend the rest of my life with.  Why else would I have helped mow his lawn and plant flowers in the spring?!  You can bet I'll NEVER mow or plant flowers for another guy until there is a BIG diamond ring on my left ring finger!!!  Forget a diamond ring, I'll never mow or plant flowers for another guy until he says "I do!"


Having dated Mike for that long he had become an important part of my life.  My family loved him, his family loved me, my friends had gotten to know him.  It really did my heart good a while back when two of those friends told me they thought he was gay and that's why it didn't work out!  He's not!  But it made me feel good to know they thought he had to be to leave such a great catch!

But I digress!  My point to this blog is to share 10 ways you know someone is not "the one."
So, here we go...
Reason #10 - You consider PDA's (Public Display's of Affection) to be fairly intense, serious kissing in public.  He considers PDA's to be holding your hand at the bowling alley!
Reason #9 - You are a huge Jimmy Buffett fan.  He doesn't like Jimmy Buffett because he doesn't think he has a good voice.  You tell him that Jimmy's popularity is based in what he sings about not how he sings.  He doesn't get it!
Reason #8 - You love the movie Sweet Home Alabama because you have friends just like all of the characters in the movie.  He hates it because he thinks it is full of southern stereotypes.  You tell him they are stereotypes for a reason:  because they exist!
Reason #7 - Your hero is Dixie Carter/Julia Sugarbaker!  He didn't like Designing Women!  (This should have been the BIGGEST clue!) 
Reason #6 - You help clean his house before both of your families come over for a holiday dinner.  You do this because you are expecting this relationship to last forever.  He lets you help clean so he doesn't have to do it all himself.
Reason #5 - You mow his yard in the summer while you are off summer break.  You do this because you are expecting this relationship to last forever.  He lets you mow so he doesn't have to!
Reason #4 - You are madly in love and treat him like a prince.  He likes you a lot and treats you like his best buddy.
Reason #3 - You talk about names for future children.  He talks about names for the Braves' line up!
Reason #2 - You work for a non-profit.  He makes 6 figures.  You enjoy paying for special occasions and random events.  He thinks you should pay for at least half of all you do together.  (Can you say "TIGHTWADE?"  LOL)
Reason #1 - You realize you are a great catch!  He doesn't!
