Turning 30 (part 2 -- or what I can learn from)

I've spent a couple days recounting things that I did in my 20's that didn't necessarily work. I'll share these dating dont's with you now:

1. Just because he's telling you how much he loves you, if he's not acting like it. He doesn't.
2. Do not accept dates from men who kiss you after meeting you 10 minutes prior. This will end badly.
3. Do not date a drummer. (While they may be the backbone of a band...this does not mean they have a backbone.)
4. Do not date people named Jason. (This one is more for me than the rest of the population, but I have yet to meet a Jason I like.)
5. Do not make excuses for a guy. He's completely capable of making his own, and its better to listen to what he comes up with for later recounting with your friends. He said WHAT?!
6. Do not continue a date if when arriving at the restaurant your date has already had a meal and you are only 10 minutes late.
7. Do not expect that when a guy asks you out, picks the place for drinks, and asks you to stay for dinner, that he will also pay for this outing.
8. Do not count out the shy guy. He's probably better than the loud one.
9. Do not expect that letting a guy down easy is the best way. Sometimes you need to tell them that their 'Angel' has no interest whatsoever. Do not do this if you fear for your life. Tell them you are moving away, and when they tell you they will come with you... at this point you should change your number.
10. Do not 'date' a neighbor.
11. Do not think that because your high school boyfriend was simple and romantic then, that he will be now. Or that he will be single.
12. Do not continue to date someone who on your first date says "well, its not like I came here expecting to date you for 5 years." This guy will continue to be a jackass.
13. Do not expect that cute snowboarder/surfer guy who you have great wicked banter with via email will turn out to be the guy you expect when you finally meet him. He will be socially stunted. You should know this already from your other friends who are also snowboarder/surfer types (whom you are great friends with, but who ... lets face it ... are more used to being around guys than girls.)
