Figure out what you want, what you will and will not tolerate, and eliminate the guys who fail to meet your requirements from your dating radar. If you're going to spend your valuable time with a bloke, he'd better make the cut, don't you think?

Auditions, try-outs... call it what you want. Instead of chasing after him, making excuses for his naughtiness and disrespect - give him the axe and move on! The most liberating part of this approach is that he doesn't even have to know.
