3. A person being carefree because they have zero interest in you looks exactly like a person being carefree because they think you’re amazing & are making a conscious effort to play it cool. Good luck deciphering between the two.

This one is easy to overcome. Stop dating "carefree" people. They're not passionate and generally very dull.

I just don't understand why they didn't go up to 19.

This one came true for me this past weekend:
Quote:
9. Some people just want to hookup and if you’re seeking more than sex, they won’t tell you that they’re the wrong person for you. At least, not until after they score your prize. While human decency is ideal, honesty isn’t mandatory.
Went out on a great date--we talked and laughed and kissed passionately before we parted ways and during that kiss he suggested "let's go somewhere." I didn't of course--first date--and next day, oops, he wasn't over the ex. The one that left 3 years ago. Mmmm hmm. Then why is his OKC profile still up? I don't know why people can't just say that it's not going to work instead of choosing something where it's obvious they're lying. And that my friends is why I don't put out on first dates.

I read this article, and I found it to be absolutely terrible.

Yeah, uninterested or fake and manipulative -- either one is a no go.

Basically 1-19 boil down to: The author's friends are all azzhats, and rather than get better friends he tells himself that all humans are like that.

Me, I don't date people who lie to themselves the way this guy does .

Yeah, anyone with even the tiniest smidgen of self confidence could avoid nearly everything on this weak person's list.

This is the one that speaks the most to me.

Then why date at all?

Because it is enjoyable in the meantime.
