How to Filter Out the Wrong Guys FAST

Talk to another man in front of him

Don’t flirt with another man, but if you and your guy are in an environment where it’s natural to talk to the people around you—maybe a busy sports bar where people are talking about the game, or a dog park where everyone is swapping stories about their pups—strike up a substantial conversation with another man. Include your guy, but also check to see how he handles you being friendly with other men. If he is the jealous type, this will make itself apparent pretty quickly. And it will be pretty clear to you whether or not he is a keeper. We are not saying that you should be overly harsh in your judgements. But if you can’t make it over these types of hurdles, you might want to move on to protect your heart — and his. Do you agree? How else can you screen out suitors with low potential? Discuss!
