Candy is good because it's sweet. How to date a nice guy? This is Doctor Paul, author of Boomer Girl Boomer Woman's Guide to Men and Dating, and author of Ask Doctor Paul. How to date a nice guy, you want a sweet guy, a guy who is sensitive and warm, a man who really is a nice guy. You've had your fill of jerks, you've got a jerk list that nobody else could complete but you. And that's it, you've had it, no more. Well, then you have to stop looking for the same thing that you've been looking for in the past. Remember, if you always do what you've always done, you'll always get what you've always got. Very simple. It's kind of the definition of mental illness, if you continue doing what you're doing and expecting different results, it doesn't happen. So you must change your MO, your modus operandi. You must look for a different event that you're going to. A different person, a different type of person. Someone who is a nice guy who is not going to finish last in your book, someone who really is responsible, caring, and one of the best ways to find that is to find how that man treats his mother. Because that's the way he's eventually going to treat you. That's one of the best indicators. This is Doctor Paul. May your fantasies of today be your realities of tomorrow.
