Stage 5 Clinger

I have never been one to date. I always seem to be in a relationship of some sorts and my new found independence is teaching me a thing or two. I have gone on a couple dates with a few guys and have on a decent time. I mean some were honestly fabulous and some were mediocre, but never a complete bomb. In till that dreaded moment and the alarms go off in my head. "Ladies and gentlemen, we have a stage 5 clinger on our hands." With out fail it happens. It very well can be my fault too. Either way after that the poor guy never stands a chance. Now, lets be clear on what kind of guy we are talking about here. They are the "good catch" type. The ones your friends love because they pass the basic check list. Job, car, average looking, and my favorite, a nice guy. The words make me cringe now because I always know what will happen. Every girl wants a nice boy right? He picks you up, takes you to dinner, and all night you are the only girl he notices. Sounds perfect right? Maybe so, however, I shoot these boys down after 3 dates. On the other hand there is the other guys. I am not going to label as a bad boy because he may not be "bad" but I am talking about the cocky asshole. You know the one, he is cocky because he has every right to be and well he is an asshole because as a kid he must of been teased a lot. The two of you go out and he walks ahead of you noticing every pair of breast walking by. He pays for the night but only to assure you he has money. And at the end of the night when he asks if you had a good time, you know it is only him digging to boost his already enormous ego. However, for some reason you go home at the end of the night and its the jackass that will make it passed date number 3. He will never suffocate you or become too clingy. He actually will turn you into the clinger. Isn't life ironic. Life guys do finish last and then to top it off you will be right there with them looking just as stupid when you meet that jackass.
