8) Learn how to better identify and avoid married people.

Married individuals usually don't tell you their last name. If they tell you, do a web search. Don't think you’re doing anything wrong if you do a Google search of someone you’ve just met online. Married people will usually contact you at certain times of the day and rarely at night when they are home with their spouse. Ask them to contact you at a different time and see what they say. Married people usually can't talk long or hang out on weekends, or they might tell you they have a roommate. They usually only want to talk about you so that you don't ask them too many questions. Should you meet in person, check the ring finger for any tan lines.

9. Don’t Fall in Love with Potential.

One of the most important aspects of successful dating is not to fall in love with someone’s potential. Don't think you can change someone, that never works.

10. Believe People When They Show You Who They Are.

The "If it Walks Like a Duck" approach encourages trusting your instincts when it comes to assessing people. If someone exhibits signs of unreliability, controlling tendencies, or indifference towards your needs, it's essential to acknowledge these signals. Even if you're drawn to them, it's crucial to recognize the potential for trouble. Instead, it's better to cut your losses and move on before it's too late.
