Just as a 6-months-preggers-except-nope-I&#8217;m-not tummy can ruin your chances with a sexy single, so can having an unfit, not-so-healthy dating attitude. So before we start this month&#8217;s &#8220;Dating IQ&#8221; series, we thought we&#8217;d ask you: what is YOUR dating hang up?<\/p>\n<p><i>Are you&#8230;<\/i><\/p>\n<p><b>1. Impatient Ian or Isabell<\/b><\/p>\n<p>You have a busy life. Between work, friends, family, and other commitments, you don&#8217;t have much time for dating. So when you&#8217;re unsuccessful on a night out &#8211; or if you don&#8217;t get any responses during your first weeks on a dating site, you get irritated and figure you might as well quit. <\/p>\n<p><b>2. Awkward Allen or Amy<\/b><\/p>\n<p>You really <i>want<\/i> to get out there and meet someone, whether it&#8217;s a casual hook up or a long term relationship. Your problem is you aren&#8217;t comfortable talking to strangers. You get withdrawn and your normally fun and social demeanor is lost in your nervousness. You can&#8217;t find it in yourself to strike up conversation, even if you&#8217;re super interested in someone. Even online, you get anxious sending someone a message.<\/p>\n<p><b>3. Overbearing Owen or Olivia<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Although you have great relationships with friends and family, people say that you come on too strong and seem obnoxious with people you&#8217;re interested in. You&#8217;re not sure if you&#8217;re over-compensating for being nervous or if you just aren&#8217;t skilled at the art of &#8220;speak less, say more&#8221; but man you need help &#8211; you&#8217;re always scaring the ladies or gents away!<\/p>\n<p><b>4. Clingy Chris or Carrie<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Maybe it was that first break up that messed with your self-confidence. Maybe it&#8217;s your fear that you&#8217;ll never start a family. Or maybe you just have little experience in dating that makes you tend to latch on to anyone who shows interest. This trait can make potential dates cut and run &#8211; even if you may have had a great future together.<\/p>\n<p><b>5. Pompous Paul or Patty<\/b><\/p>\n<p>You&#8217;ve actually never really had too much trouble hooking up with whoever you&#8217;d like, but you&#8217;re starting to gain a reputation of being a little conceited, arrogant, and insensitive. You don&#8217;t like the way people look at you like a user, and you really never sought out to be a jerk, but admittedly, you&#8217;ve made the rounds, and have no problem throwing dates to the curb when something better comes around. Now, that&#8217;s starting to bite you in the a-s-s. <\/p>\n<p><b><i>If you fit one of those categories &#8211; never fear! We&#8217;ll be spending this month giving our readers tips as to how to upkeep and re-evaluate their dating personalities. With any luck, by the end of June you&#8217;ll be not only healthy and fit, but mentally ready to take on the dating world.
