Last week's bachelor issue of the Flair Magazine had the women on the prowl. You saw them and you loved them and now, you want one of your own. You have asked our advice to know if you've snagged an eligible bachelor and how to keep him. Here are the signs that this one is a keeper and what you should not do to scare him away:

1. He talks about the future and mentions 'us': This is not an invitation to start planning the wedding, but it's promising.

Don't: However, if you begin talking about the future and referring to 'us', Usain won't be able to catch that man. Men scare easily.

2. You are able to get him on his cellphone. When your calls are not returned or answered, then you know he might be otherwise occupied.

Don't: However, don't be a nag and don't (I repeat - Do not) go checking his phone.

3. If he cancelled a date on the pretext that he's tired, then the possibility exists that he might have other places he want's to be.

Don't: But don't go hounding him, he may really have had a bad day; use your discretion.

4. He does not talk to you about his family and seems to have no intention of introducing you after you've been dating for a while. That may mean you are not the main one, so you need not know the family and vice a versa.

Don't: Don't push it. As the relationship progresses, you will know what his family relationship is like and be able to gauge if it's time to meet the folks.

5. If his child's mother or ex-girlfriend calls you, even if he tells you that they are no longer involved, how do you think she got your number?

Don't: Do not assume that he's still involved with his ex if you have no proof.

6. Unless he's working, he should spend major holidays and important dates with you. Valentine's, birthday and Christmas.

7. Don't be a nag or try to tell him what to do. He doesn't need another mother, he needs someone that he can confide in and who will listen to him rant (sometimes).

8. Do not demand that he wines and dines you. In these times, money is tight. However, that doesn't mean that KFC should suffice.

9. The physical is the first thing you see but it's not the most important. If sex is the first thing on his mind, then you should know that the relationship will not progress beyond his bedroom. Take it slowly.

10. Don't be too dependant. Men do not respond to clingy women. Remember, you are his girl, but he has friends and family that also need his time.

If he always spends Saturday afternoons with the boys, don't suddenly expect him to stop.
