10 Quick Ways To Size Him Up
Top 10 must-read tips for forming first impressions.
by Savannah Ashour
8. BLING DON’T MEAN A THING
The doorman at New York’s Four Seasons Hotel is a longtime observer of the wealthy—and those who wish they were. His wisdom: “If a man is too interested in flash, his money is probably poorly managed.” According to his colleague up the street, at the Pierre, “The watch tells you everything.” Don’t forget to check out his feet: The doormen concur that brown shoes paired with a blue suit equal a bad tip.
9. LOOK INTO THE CRYSTAL BALL
“Everyone is born psychic,” says Tina Vlado at The Village Psychic in New York. “Some just more than others.” Those of us less preternaturally inclined simply have to focus.
“When you first meet someone,” Vlado suggests, “stop for a second, breathe, and get a sense of the energy.” Strong, silent types are usually easier to read. “When they’re talking too much, it’s almost like they’re hiding something,” she says.
10. HELLOMYNAMEISHARRY
Adele Testani, the cofounder of HurryDate, is candid about first impressions. “You’re not going to be able to tell if you want to marry him,” she says. “But you can tell a lot about humor, attraction, and chemistry.”
In a speed-dating scenario, nerves run high. So pay less attention to what he’s saying—“My name is Harry, I enjoy sushi and Trivial Pursuit”—than to which topics end up dominating his time. You’ll learn more about his values, while taking into account the limits of the situation.

Single female teachers live in confusing times and these messages seem to be excellent source of advice . Getting thru classes without having a male student hit on you is at issue but it’s a way to make my boyfriend jealous . That a student admits he wanted to have sex with me whenever he saw me by the way made him also say he wanted to kiss me so I asked where , LOL !
Now he invited me to BALI so I guess its
a way to get to know him outside the classroom environment which at times is so sterile. Dating a student seems to be the norm so it’s finally my turn to take a shot at it … Oh -la-la !

Sorry to say but you got what you deserved. I’m so sick of sleazeballs getting away with this, but for you women who overlook the guys that are “too nice” or “sort of boring” always get you just desserts.

I agree with the posted topics. I met a guy who had a personality out of this world. He had sexuality out of this world; however, I was evaluating him in mind and i was thinking how much fun he really was, but I sensed something was wrong. He asked me why he always calls me, and yet he also bragged about all the women he had.So there was red flag number one, I still continued to sleep with him because the sex was so good but guess what ?I still got attatched and I still got hurt, he returned to his wife without informing me aswell .So go with your instinct we all have one from the moment we meet someone we know if we are playing with fire. Dont just sit there and wait for them to screw you over. Dont engage in the relationship. Dont do it no matter how much charm they have. You may get some good sex out of it but that’s it!
