Taken from Ann Landers (God rest her soul) in Aug 18, 1997, there is a list on how to recognize Mr. Right:
1) You probably won't find Mr. Right in a bar. Try grocery stores, church, where you work or through a friend.
2) If he tells you he is married, he's seperated or his wife doesn't understand him--he has TROUBLE stamped on his forehead.
3) if he tried to move in with you or wants to borrow money, be careful. He may be a con artist.
4) If his family doesn't like him and avoids him, maybe you should, too. They know him better than you do.
5) Check out his car. It should be clean, serviceable and insured.
6) If he has children, decide if you want to marry them, too, because that is the way it will be. And be aware that they are a direct link to his ex-wife.
7) You don't need a man to be a complete woman. Choose the man--don't let him choose you.
8) Find someone who laughs at the same things you laugh at. A shared sense of humor will make the good times better and the bad times less difficult.
9) If you want several children and plan to stay home and raise them, choose a man whose skills and education will put him in a high salary category.
10) If you want a career, don't marry a man who hates his job. He will resent the time and attention you give to yours.
11) Two red flags: Does he have a short fuse and hot temper? Is he hung up on his mother? These are two negatives that inevitably get worse after marriage.
12) Don't get married because you are afraid to be alone. No wife is more alone than one whose husband pays no attention to her.
13) No matter how wonderful his other qualities may be, do not marry a man who has threatened, hit or humiliated you. In fact, don't go out with him a second time.
14) Pay attention to how he treats his mother. Chances are good that he will treat you the same way.
I sincerely hope that this list is still truthful to this day and that it will save many women out there a LOT of grief and heartache!
