Mornin’ yall.

The only green flag that get’s me going is when his actions match his words.

As a matter of fact, if he just leaves out the “words” (“I want to take you to such and such spot” and “Have you ever been to xyz restaurant? We should go” and “I’m so romantic” and “Blah, blah, blah”) and “acts”… he throws the green flag and I throw the white one!

Topic Do you think it’s harder to spot green flags then red flags?

Nope… because I’m not looking for them; just like I’m not looking for some green light on the highway when I’m tearing it up @ 160. And as long as I don’t see any cops (red flags/lights), then there’s no need to pump brakes or attempt the hasty getaway.

Green flag for me is good conversation with not alot of “I strain” and knowledge of something other than the latest football scores and newest cars.

Do you think it’s harder to spot green flags then red flags?

yep, just like criminals want to get caught….people may say they want happiness but cant understand it when it is staring them in the face….people seek validation in there choice from others…usually all it takes is one negative to throw that person into second guess mode

key words for the men….if you meet a women and she says that she is tired of all the games and BS…..watch out…she will never see your green flags because she will do things to bring out your reds….so strike all the women that follow this logic from your books…you will thank me later

I’mma agree with Rell,

“I’m tired of blah, blah, blah” translates to: “you will have to prove to me blah, blah, blah”.

To wit, I shoot the dueces!

My green flags: Nice eyes, nice smile, courtesy (to everyone), opening my door after I let her in (a really nice body doesn’t hurt), and her kiss.

Morning everyone. TGIF! Great topic WiseDiva!

I think it’s good to stay positive and enjoy the person’s company. Focusing on the positive, instead of the negative, can make a big difference in your attitude. Why not savor the good stuff in the beginning?

I’m totally with this, but savor the good in the beginning, middle and heck even end. Everyone will have their issues, their doubts, etc. If you have open communication with your mate, you guys can work collectively on overcoming these things.

As with anything, stay alert. Enjoy the green flags, take heed of the yellow flags, and stop on the red. Life is good, love is good. Enjoy it.

I don’t think that I could pinpoint anything that anyone specifically did that would work for everyone I’ve ever dated that meant a “green flag”. Like you know, “Aaaha I see he’s reading __ Yeah, yeah, now that’s the ticket… I like to see that…” Or, Aaaaa yes, he wiped that speck of dirt of the hood of his car… means he’s clean.. yeahhhh.”

It depended on each person… getting to know them and realizing when they were really into me. That’s my green flag.

It seems like you’re saying that a green flag is like a standard that I would like to see in all potentials…

Doesn’t seem like it works that way.

But I don’t think I have dated anyone long term that DID ask that question…hmm….lol

As for the business card thing, you can give me yours. But you aren’t getting mine. Part of the whole “screen” process is making sure he can’t roll up at the job if things go wrong. I don’t know anything about “your crazy” upon the first meeting, so access to my livelihood is a NO GO for your girl.

Lol, this is funny because the business card thing is somewhat of a ‘red flag’ to me. Especially if there isn’t a cell phone number on it. It immediately makes me think “oh, he must be married or in a relationship if he only wants me to call his office and I can only get in touch with him M-F”. If there is a cell number on it, I still might not call b/c… well, I don’t call first.

And, personally, I think dudes should be just as cautious as females. Like Amazon said, you shouldn’t want anyone you just met to know where you work. Thats your livelihood… you can’t just quit your job if she starts getting crazy. You go out for lunch and she’s sitting in the passenger seat of your car. Or she’s in the parking lot and follows you home - now she knows where you live AND work.

Fellas… I have to say no-no to the business card move.

But, who am I?

Why she say, I can’t get my card back, that I’ll hav’ta call and get a new one? Something about they don’t service their own machines, huh?…So she serviced me the money I needed, then she took the money out the wrong account, wasting my time, I jus’ let it be. But I took all her candy out her dish! So, Mo I got’s all the Kiddie Mix you want today sweetie!

For me, this question helped me whether to put a female in the business relationship list or romantic relationship list.

Mrs. PG initially was a business contact that I met through speed dating. We kept interacting and things moved into another arena. She is a lawyer, and I am working towards lawyerdom.

So, ultimately, it was just a clasification question.

But, what questions do you want to a converstion? I mean if dude walked up to you and asked “do you like to spoon?” You probably think that he was a little off his rocker or you’d be in his freezer.

Seriously though, like Truth said: I only expect green flags. I even tried to look at the good in the old girlfrined that brought out the worst in me.

i don’t like anybody to ask me what i do…because for me…where i work (the job that provides my living wage) is not really what i do and does not address my entreprenuerial pursuits…if that makes sense…

and then when i tell people that i work at the airport…the next question that comes out of their mouth is can i get them a hookup on a flight….

lookaheyah…if yo a$$ can’t afford a plane ticket for where you wanna go/trynna go…stay yo @$$ home…

besides…if i had buddy passes…i wouldn’t give them to a stranger…and i don’t eff around with the hookup thing because a former co-worker did federal time for embezzlement cause she was always hookin’ folk up…

Poppa I have a friend that isn’t against selling azz at $300 a wop. I’ve known her for about 8 years and this is a constant theme. She sells to her married coworkers that like big t** and azz. A few friends ask why I associate with a chick like that and I say because with her I know exactly what to expect. (Btw, we have never gotten physical) My point is I’m never surprised because I know what she is and what to expect, kinda like you saying you know what type of crazy you’ll get from MRS Poppa. After you determine what a person is capable of the rest should be easy. I determine your limits up front and spare myself the “oh gosh” moments. LOL From there its green sailing all the way.

I know a little about them. I didn’t really get involved with them. But, hey, contacts is the name of the game. Especially, right now, I hear that another big firm is about the do some major cuts. I mean like a whole practice area. I can’t say who, but the client’s can’t pay and Judge’s won’t let you drop a client just for non-payment.

Also, does anyone have AT&T with unlimited data and calls? I’m thinking of going over there from Sprint so I can get that new Palm Treo Pro. I pay $99.99 for my simply everything plan now and wondered if they have something like that. Looking at their website they seem to be more expensive but if someone has a good plan I can request that.

It isn’t just an Atlanta thing. I have a friend in Charlotte that is really worried. Wachovia was one of their clients. A big client that will probably either be gone or really scaled back.

GM stock was under $5.00 and banks have refused to give them more money. So, can they make payroll in the near future? If they can’t make payroll, they probably won’t pay their legal expenses either.

Governments are in it, too. Did you hear that Arnold and the State of California asked for a loan for the Federal Goverment. I think that was 7 billion for them. They were worried about payroll and other state expenses.

On top of that the market will be flooded with experienced paralegals and attorneys looking for ways to feed their families.

So, it is all one big cycle.

Good luck to ya. I have to worry about it, too.

As far as what it takes to be a paralegal goes, you do many of the tasks that a first year associate does. Just for a lot less money.

I drafted the pleadings, letters, etc. The attorney got to eidt it and sign it and take the credit. I did a lot of research on Westlaw and Lexis. However, if there are really any mistakes, the attorney gets the complaint on their Bar number

Also, you should have a thick skin because anytime something is mess up the paralegal gets the blame.If you don’t have a thick skin, you better grow one.

Attorneys only want the credit for the good stuff
