How To Spot The Classic Case Of Bad Dates

There is nothing wrong with online dating, no matter what anyone tells you. In fact, more and more people are becoming used to the idea that the Internet is just another way to meet people who have the potential of being your life partner.

In this fast-paced environment, people just ca not be expected to dance around and be coy. Online dating sites have made your job easier in finding someone you may already have something in common with, eliminates the clumsy beginnings of a pick-up lines, and also weeds out potential crazies from your list.

Still, you can never be too careful. While online dating sites can do you the favor letting you choose people you date according to the information they provided, you have to remember that there are always a lot of things eliminated from that list. Be aware that, like any other dating situation, there can be hits and there can be misses you just have to know which one is which.

Here are some dating tips: First, pick out the narcissist. He is the person you talks on and on about himself, his job, his potentials, his greatness…and if he does ask about you, it all ends up with himself again. This guy can be a great bore, plus he does not need you as a date, he just needs to date himself. It should not be too easy to ditch this guy, but he may be just too in love with himself that he wont think that he is doing anything wrong. Cut the date short if he invites you anywhere else. More importantly, make it firm and succinct that you wont want to date him again. It lets you break off easily, and also gives him the idea that if he missed this one coming, then he must have done something wrong hopefully letting him realize it.

Busy people may mean they are doing something really important, but establishing a connection should not be too hard. If your potential date keeps answering their phone calls, or keeps whipping out their mobiles to text replies to someone else, then do not bother. Unless he is a doctor or an important political figure like the governor of the state, then there is no excuse. Being with you means he should be committed to at least showing you a good time, so if he ca not even give that, what are the chances he will give you his full attention when you need it in the future? Save yourself the heartbreak and just walk away. Chances are, he wont even notice.

Finally, just because you are single does not mean you are not into the potential of staying that way. Dating can be a way for you to enjoy yourself, find other singles out there willing to be with you. It does not have to be a world-changing experience, but you do not have to stay with a bad date that is steadily becoming worse.

If he has several and by that, we mean numerous unforgivable characteristics, try to list in your head if you are willing to settle. No movies you have in common, no sense of humor, nothing to tie you to that moment instead of letting your imagination fly while he is talking, then there is no point. You do not have to be loaded with dating advices to know that this one just is not going to cut it. If he calls, be polite and thank him for the nice time, but do not try to encourage him anymore. Do not trust those romantic comedy movies. There is always the chance he is better than you thought he would be, but not seeing it during the first few dates may and you are not seeing the relationship going anywhere, then it is likely not going to.

It is not a fool-proof list, and bad dates can always arm themselves with different disguises, but if you learn how to judge your reactions and read their interest on you, then you will not end up wasting your time. Dating requires that you actually enjoy it enough to want to see that person again. Being single can be fun, but it is always better if you enjoy it with someone else and not simply bemoaning the fact while on a bad date.

Sell or Divide the House in a Divorce Case?

Texas Divorce and Property Division-Should You Keep the House?

Determining whether and how to keep the house is often one of if not the biggest issue a spouse has in their divorce case. Oftentimes it is the most significant asset a couple owns and sometimes the only one which can be readily converted into cash without any form of tax penalty. In the final analysis, the determination that must be made is whether you keep the house, your spouse keeps the house or the property is sold and the equity split between the parties. This article will explore the analysis a person should go through in a divorce case when faced with this decision.

One possibility is that you keep the house, either by an agreed resolution or after a trial. Generally this means that you would be awarded the property and you would be solely responsible for the debt attached to that property. One of the key issues that should be considered is whether post-divorce you can afford it. Often it is simply not realistic for either spouse to handle the payments and related expenses on just one person’s income. You should cautiously analyze whether your income will be sufficient to allow this. Another issue that must be addressed is whether your spouse will require that the mortgage be refinanced in order to remove their name. Again, depending on your financial circumstances, you may have difficulty qualifying for the mortgage alone and terms may not be nearly as favorable as what you have in the current mortgage. The bottom line is that you need to carefully evaluate this important financial decision before making a rash emotional commitment to a financial obligation which may later be impossible to live up to.

A second possibility is that your spouse retains the house, again either by agreement or after a trial. Conversely, this would mean they would be awarded the property and would be solely responsible for payment of the debt on that asset. If you are the spouse not receiving the house it is very much preferable that the mortgage be refinanced so that your name is removed from that debt. This is critical because if your ex were to default under the current mortgage at a later date it could dramatically impact your credit score and even expose you to a possible lawsuit. The only way to avoid this situation is to have the debt refinanced so that your name is removed.

A final possibility, and one that is often the best option, is that the property is sold and the net proceeds (sales price less cost of sale and any indebtedness) are divided between the parties on some percentage basis. This alternative avoids the refinance issue because the debt is paid off at the time of divorce. Also, neither spouse is placed in the position of attempting to afford the monthly expense of a house that was purchased based on conditions that are no longer accurate (dual income household, larger home needed for entire family, etc.). In the majority of cases this option is usually the best fit, although circumstances do vary.

As you can see deciding how to handle the marital residence in a marriage dissolution is a complicated. Whether you decide to keep the residence, let your spouse have the residence, or sell the home and split the proceeds, the situation needs to be carefully examined. As long as you go into it thinking with your head and not your heart you’ll make a good decision and do just fine.
