Of the 4 personality types, the Amiables are the laid back, people persons.  They don’t care about what happens and when, they only care about, well, people.  So, these people are the compassionate ones and most likely to get along with everybody.  However, these people are not project oriented and do not work well with schedules.

I am very familiar with the Analytic personality type since I am one.  As the name suggests, the analytic, well, analyzes.  Decisions come very slowly if at all.  But, once a decision is made, Analytic s tend to be firm in their view point.  This means that if you ask an Analytic what movie he/she wants to watch, he/she may be indifferent.  However, if he/she should pick a movie, he/she probably really wants to see it.

So, Analytic s tend to be either “wishy washy” or determined.

A number of years ago, researchers noted that there seems to be 4 basic personality types: Analytic, Driver, Expressive and Amiable.    And, depending on whether you are a people person and how quickly you make decisions determines your personality type.

Along with this, it was determined that certain personality types are more compatible than others.  So, once you know your personality type and the classification system, you  can determine the likely hood of a compatible match.

When I first started dating, I made a mental note of items that she liked to drink such as beer brands, Coke/Pepsi, favorite wines, etc.  Then, I would make a point in stocking them.   However, after several girlfriends, I now have a stock of beverages that I don’t drink.  And, the best that I can hope for is that someone else will like them.

Going forward, I no longer make a point of stocking items that I don’t drink.

Relationships are not static.  They are either moving forward or are declining.  The trick is to determine just how fast and in which direction.

Recently, I met a woman on line and we started emailing each other.  Her profile said that she was 55 but she also acknowledged that she was much older.

Basically, she lied about her age to attract men.  She was afraid that if she listed her actual age that no one would be interested in her.

After several emails, I told her that her age didn’t bother me as long as she was active.  She emailed me and told me that at my age, I couldn’t possible keep up with her.  Therefore, we would just be wasting each others time.

Let me see if I have this straight.  If I had lied and listed myself as much younger, she would be interested in me.  But, since I didn’t lie like she did, she is not interested in me.

Well, she has been looking for over ten years now and hasn’t found anyone.  Go Figure.

My first husband was gay!  That is a response that I have heard from several woman.

Apparently, they couldn’t tell the difference when they were dating.  But, then, 15 years later, they can’t understand what happened.

Hello!!!  Your first husband was gay but it took you 15 years to figure it out?  So, what was your first clue????  He liked what???

You are an emotionally unstable flake!!

After telling her that “I love you” for several weeks now and not getting any affirmation in response, I am giving up.  I really don’t think that she is interested in a serious relationship and I am just wasting my time.

The other night, I got the “third degree” from the woman that I am dating.  She wanted to know if I pray daily and if I do daily devotions.

Now, while I didn’t mind answering her questions, I was a bit concerned as she told me these were “show stoppers” for her.

“Show stoppers”?!!  “Show stoppers’?!!  Now, while I pray daily and do daily devotions, I didn’t like the idea of our entire relationship being based on how often and how long I pray.  Or more to the point, I didn’t like the fact that she was judging me based on my personal relationship to God, which I consider to be very private.

This relationship has been unstable since it started but I suspect that it is finally finished.

I once dated a woman who pledged her undying love to me but was too busy to have an active relationship with me.  Instead, she wanted to take a year off until she could get her life together.

So, I gave her the benefit of the doubt.  As I suspected, she was a flake and still did not have her life together.  Emotionally unstable!!

Don’t wait on these people, get on with your own life.  They are flakes!!
