Valentine's Dreamers Beware: Five Men Wanted for Being "That Guy"
BOSTON, Feb. 7, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- This Valentine's Day, the newly released "Dictionary of Men" has added some additional suspects to its "Most Wanted" list with a warning out to daters that certain mates may do more harm than good.
If you already have a Valentine lined up, or if you are still on the prowl at bars, nightclubs, online or via blind dates, beware of five men who are wanted for various dating faux-pas. "Dictionary of Men" asks that you do not try to accept flowers or chocolates from any of these suspects.
