JFF - Any Advice Given to Single Friends/family

Write down your top 5 most important beliefs/values/truths etc whatever you want to call them. The other person needs to agree with at least most of those or it won't work out. If one of your top 5 for ex is to have a relationship with God and the potential person doesn't = not going to work! If one of your top 5 is to travel as much as possible and the other persons is not = not going to work! Have children? Work ambitiously to have a certain lifestyle? Live a healthy life? and on and on and on..........
Love is not enough - you must be compatible! And "NO", you cannot change the other person!

I think you can tell a lot about a person by how they treat a waiter or waitress. My husband can be very indecisive about what to order and I get a little embarrassed sometimes. (I have a great husband, btw.) I think he may have learned it from his mom. I think it's apparent someone that a person is pretty inconsiderate when they make a big fuss over little things at a restaurant.
Also, if someone has road rage, it's not a good sign about their character.
An ex once tested me by saying that he someone saw me on campus with a guy. It was rude. I should have seen the signs of what a jealous type me was. I don't necessarily believe in testing people but I do like you little gift idea.

if he's a mama's boy runnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn! I don't care what they say about if he treats his mom good he will to you.
Lies! I tell you Lies!
My ex would walk on a bed of nails for his mom b/c she and his dad raised him that way. She was the almighty mom...and when I had Emmy they actually told M. to not expect him to ever love M. or Em as much as them. Yup
Lies
Although I feel I'm dating a slight mamas boy now= ) I guess I cant ask for sympathy later=)
There should be a book
The varying degrees of mama's boys=)

Pay attention to how he treats his mother and how his parents interact. If he's respectful towards his, he'll be respectful towards you. If his father treats his mother well, he's learned well. If his father is an a-hole and said beau recognizes it AND elects to act differently... you're going to be OK.

It's not a "set in stone" rule of life, but darn if it isn't true all too often!
