Ever had that one boy that you just think is the best but everyone else is practically telling you to run for your life? Don't you worry, it happens to us all eventually.

1. Doesn't want to spend more than 5 minutes around your family

If a guy wants you to sneak him in the house at night while your parents are sleeping, but can't come by for dinner? That's crappy. Firstly, if he doesn't want to meet your family, it's because he isn't planning on getting comfortable. Secondly, I can understand if he's nervous (I mean, my friend's mom saw me get handed a ticket for speeding - I've avoided her for the last month and a half. I totally get it, parents are scary), but I'm sure you can think of an idea he's had that was a little scarier than spending time with your family.

2. Complains about your church

If you're like me, your church is fine for you because you've been there forever. I love my church family, it's the church I got dedicated at as a baby. Those are the people who eagerly waited for my arrival, and watched me grow. The people who hug me when they see me in town, even though I have no idea who they are. The ones who tell my mama when they see me leaving the ballpark with the same boy that avoids my church on Sundays, mostly because they're nosy but also because they're genuinely worried for me. I know they're uppity, but they mean well (for the most part), and it's two days a week. If he can't occasionally dedicate two hours out of one day out of one week, that's wack, throw the whole man away.

3. Disrespects the women in his life

Guys who treat their mama and sisters like they're less important than me... the worst. I'd rather a boy disrespect me, and treat me like trash before I see him disrespect those two girls. All because I know much I value my brothers and the relationship I have with them. I love them so much, and I know they're going to grow up one day and have their own wife and their own kids, and his family will mean more to him than we ever did. We're who he started with but they're who he'll end with. I want to spend as much time with my brothers as I possibly can because I know a girl is going to take him from us one day. I won't dare stand for a boy disrespecting the ladies in his family.

4. Doesn't like dogs

If this isn't a red, flashing, neon sign that he's not a good dude I don't know what is. IF HE HAS NO COMPASSION FOR ANIMALS THEN HE'S NOT MY GUY. But, to each her own, I guess.

5. Doesn't make God the center of his being

When a guy doesn't put God first, then in my relationship, it's already not going to work out. It's okay to laugh and have fun, cut up with the boys on Saturday night since Saturday's are for the boys, or whatever. I get that. It's okay to have fun. But I date to marry, and I want my husband to be the leader of my family, and get guidance from the Bible when raising our family and making our house a home. He doesn't have to be perfect because Lord knows I'm not perfect. But if he's not obsessed with Jesus (or working on his relationship with Him), I don't want him.

6. Won't at least try and do well in school

If he doesn't care about his grades, that just goes to show he doesn't value his future, or y'all's future together. I understand that some people have common sense but just can't seem to do well in the classroom. Can't help that. Some people don't plan on going to college, I can understand that too, as I know college isn't for everyone. Maybe he wants to start a business or go into the military or maybe learn a trade. However, making a point to study hard and do well in class is taking the initiative to better himself, encouraging a better future and career. It's the little things. If he doesn't even care about his grades then he doesn't care about doing well for himself, so he definitely doesn't care about doing well for others.

7. Doesn't have the same or similar political views

I'm not necessarily talking about the democrat or republican parties. There are just certain topics and issues that we have to agree on or I'm not going to be able to get over it. It is totally, perfectly, OK to have friends with different political views. Everyone is different and has lived different lives and has had different experiences. Everyone has had different upbringings, so, therefore, not everyone is going to think like me, and that's okay! I'm not going to dog on you all the time and make little undermining comments. I can listen to you, and hear what you're saying. We can still be friends. Best friends, even! We can't date, though. I haven't tried it, but I just don't think that could work for me. I can't procreate with someone who honestly, truly, from the bottom of their heart, thinks that Hillary would be a better president than any one of the many other candidates who ran, or a good president ever. I mean, what if our kids turn out the same way? I could never forgive myself.

8. He's a fan of the rival team

I'm an Auburn fan. I'll be damned if I marry an Alabama fan and have to put up with his Alabama football-crazed family for the rest of my life. I'm not saying it can't happen, but okay, yes I am. Whenever I see a cute boy I stalk him online and see who he pulls for, and if it's Alabama, it's a no for me. It's nothing personal, Alabama is a great school and has an even better football team (obviously). But my mama doesn't even allow me to go watch the Iron Bowl with my friends if there's going to be Alabama fans at the party. Don't know how my parents would feel about me bringing home an Alabama fan. It'd be more encouraging to hear a boy doesn't believe in Jesus than it would be to hear, "Roll Tide" come out of his mouth. At least I can make him believe in Jesus. I can't fix an Alabama fan.

9. Constantly uses his words in a derogatory manner

Your man isn't a man if he belittles others. If he's a boastful boy, I don't want anything to do with him. If he uses his mouth to bring down others, it's nasty and I don't want him. I pray for a man who speaks kindness, respect, and Jesus into his workplace, his locker room, and his personal space with his friends. Don't date boys who treat everyone else's boyfriend like junk.

10. He's a follower

Date a guy who does what he knows is right and good, not what his friends are doing. Date leaders, date people who stand up for what they believe in. Whatever that may be.

11. Has zero self-control

If the guy likes to drink, that's fine. Personally, it doesn't bother me, because I like to enjoy drinks every now and then, But getting dead drunk every weekend? Come on, now. If he can't just have a normal lazy weekend with you or his family, because he's so all-about drinking, that's forming a really, really bad habit. Alcoholism, that's a problem I promise you won't want, now or later.

12. Wants to do things you don't

You know what I mean. You'll laugh it off hoping he'll drop it but, he doesn't. And then he goes on to make you feel like you're the one out of line, as if you owe him some kind of sexual act of affection. You don't, you are yours.

Know what kind of man you deserve, you can do better!
