Oh my gosh, I have a winner story...
last year I met a guy who was absolutely gorgeous. We talked quite a bit the night we met and he said he really wanted to see me again. He was attractive, outgoing, successful, etc. He didn't have his phone with him (red flag already) so he gave me his number. I call him a couple days later and his brother answers the phone.(again, another red flag) I oddly don't remember him saying he lived with his brother, but I think, whatever...no big deal. So he calls me back, we go out and have a great time. He calls me the next day and proceeds to tell me how he used to have a severe drug problem (like ended up in the hospital and rehab because of it) and how he used to date a girl (a stripper) who he lived with and they were together up until 2 months ago. This guy is the epitome of TMI (too much information). The clincher in the story is that they STILL LIVED TOGETHER because they had a lease. Yeah, apparently he gave me his brother's number because he didn't want the ex getting upset if I called the house for him. I sure picked a winner that time...thank god my screening skills have gotten better since then.
