How to Tell a Good Guy from a Creepy One

Jason Cooley
Being a woman and dating is scary. Think about it, when you meet a new guy and decide to date him that means you will probably go for a ride in his car, be taken to new places, and maybe end up alone with him in his house. These are all scary situations to be in with a person who may be a creep. So here are some ways to keep you safe and find out if the guy is a creep before you are put into these positions.

1) Consider where you met this guy- Meeting a guy at church doesn't mean he is exempt from being a creep but it is a whole lot better than meeting a guy at a Miley Cyrus or Jonas Brothers concert. This should be a big clue that the guy is a creep.

2) Research- Check to see if any of your friends know the guy and get as many details as possible. Also try looking up his information on google, MySpace, Facebook, twitter and any other social networking sites that you can so you can check for anything creepy about him. Check his friends and groups to see if anything stands out to you as creepy.

3) Make plenty of phone contact before the date- You want to make sure to call at random times to see if you can catch any creepy activities going on in the background and his demeanor during it. Perhaps you call and there is a woman screaming in the background and you can hear some panic in his voice, he asks you if you can hold for a minute and when he gets back to the phone the screaming has stopped and he sounds relieved. This should pretty much label him as a creep.

4) Meet up- Meet up a couple of times before you decide to ride shotgun while he drives. Use these meetings as a screening process to get comfortable enough where you are pretty sure he is a good guy and not a creep. Ask him about his family. If he says they are all dead you must absolutely ask what happened to make sure that he didn't hack them up and drink their blood. Of course a creepy guy probably wouldn't just come out and admit to butchering his family but you can match his body language to his answer to see if it all adds up.

After all these steps you may question if it's you that is the creepy one but remember you are responsible for your own safety and going out with a creepy guy could be the last mistake you make.

I can't write this in the third person... I just can't. To do so would make me feel like a douche big enough to accommodate Madonna. My articles are a change of pace from what you can expect anywhere else. M...  View profile
