Dating over 30 can be a little tricky so I've decided to put a few pointers together for the ladies who are still hoping to find their Prince Charming. Now many of the tips are common sense but you'll be surprised at how many people opt to deal with anything just for companionship.
1. "My phone died." - Don't you just want to laugh at this excuse. I'd suggest that he invest in a work charger, car charger, home charger, as well as a 'just because' charger. There is nothing like trying to contact your potential love interest and you just keep getting his voice mail. If this is a common pattern, move on.
2. Independence is key for travel- it'd be nice if he has a car and if doesn't he should have a means to transportation or willing to take public transportation to reach you.
3. Dating Matters- Now remember he doesn’t have to take you to a 5-star Resturant for the first date but he definitely has to court you! 'Netflix and Chill' should never be an option.
4. If long term is not the goal then neither is the bedroom!
5. If he lives with his mom.....No Thanks! Unless he's working on buying a home. I get it sometimes life calls for taking one step back in order to move 2 steps forward.
6. If he can’t call you then he can’t date you! Texting all night and all day is not ok!
7. If his fingernails are dirty well that’s a sign of his hygiene perhaps not being up to par!
8. Teeth Matter- I have a fetish when it comes to a nice bright smile. I love a clean mouth.
9. Employment is important- He doesn’t have to be Steve Jobs but he does have to job, even while he works toward his career and goals.
10. Family- How he cares for his family especially his mother is how he will treat you.
