and then getting angry when I don't want him to drive me home (thank heavens for Portland's excellent bus system!)
2. Flat affect and/or no sense of humor
3. Indications of "black people scare me" types of racism. Most people nowadays are smart enough not to express blatant racism, but the type of person who crosses the street to avoid a random collection of African-Americans who are waiting for the bus or who refuses to go into the city for shopping or entertainment because of "crime and drugs" (yeah, like there's no crime or drugs in the suburbs) is declaring closet racism.
4. Giving off sexual predator vibes. It's hard to explain what that means, but when those vibes are there, they're unmistakable
5. Being an anger junkie, particularly the type who blames all his/her problems on someone else ("It couldn't be because you're a hot-headed idiot? Nah!")
6. Talking about how creative and spiritual s/he is. People who are really creative and spiritual don't talk about it; they live it. Ditto for men who talk about what nice guys they are, or, as one one-date wonder described himself, "I'm open, honest, and sincere."
