10 Frogs You Should Never Kiss (Part 2)

More losers and bad boys to leave in the pond

By: Marilyn Anderson

Last week, we talked about how you can't find a prince when you're busy smooching frogs. To make sure you're dating keepers, not leapers, here are five more to boot off your lily pad:

1. Croak & Dagger: He won't tell you where he lives, where he works, or what he does. And he won't give you his phone number, either - he can call you, but you can't call him. Remember, mystery men can be exciting - but if he's mysterious for too long, you should be the one to disappear!

2. The Obsessed-with-his-Ex Frog: He talks about his ex all the time. He shows you her picture, plays their favorite song and takes you to their favorite restaurant. Then, when you cook him dinner, he wants you to do it "her" way. Bottom line: If he can't get her out of his mind, get him out of yours.

3. Gamblers Frognonymous: If your man plays too much poker, it's simple: Deal him out.

4. The Really-Nice-Guy-but-Really-Bad-Kisser Frog: Kisses aren't everything, but there's something to be said for chemistry, and, frankly, you should like what he has to offer. Rule of thumb: If he drools, slobbers or makes you wince, this one is definitely not your prince.

5. The Godfrogger: You might like watching reruns of The Sopranos, but do you really want to be Mrs. Soprano? Double lives, sneaking around - trust me, he isn't the one for you. If he's a wiseguy, be a wise girl - and frogeddaboutit.
