[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ooo this is a good one.

1) I'll get flak for this, but - insist on paying your own way for early dates. Any guy whose ego can't handle you paying for your own drinks is not going to be vacuuming regularly.
2) How is his place now? If his place is a pigsty, he either doesn't see dirt or doesn't care. Bad sign. I would say this is much more reliable after age 30 or so. 
3) What does he eat? Has he ever offered to cook for you? If he only eats frozen meals and goes out to eat, that's a bad sign. If he cooks ever, even simple things, you've got a better chance of that sticking around (or even improving)
4) Once you're past "the talk" and are in a relationship - there's a couple trial balloons I'd throw out conversationally: "My friend is having a baby and started putting together a registry. God babies need tons of stuff! How would you even know what to put on there?!?" Then just sit quietly. See what he says "Oh, huh. So what do you want to do tomorrow night?" Bad. "Man, yeah, my friend has a baby and there's so much stuff! Half their kitchen is filled with baby stuff now." Good. Basically, if you can engage on any kind of practical baby conversation, without him changing the topic, that's a good sign. Again, more reliable after age 30.
5) Pre-engagement, I'd ask if he plans to take parental leave. If he'd be willing to take a few months and thinks that's a good idea, that's a keeper. [/quote]

This right here 1000% [/quote]
