Speaking of family members, talk to your mom and/or sister about the guy once they've gotten to know him. If they speak ill of him, then you know he's probably done something jerky to turn them off. Don't make excuses for his behavior. If your find yourself excusing bad behavior or trying to explain it to your friends and family to shed a positive light on him, then stop. There's no reason to make excuses for bad behavior. Finally, if a guy pressures you to do or say things that make you uncomfortable or feel dishonest, then he might be a jerk. Whether it's pressure to have sex or do his "dirty" work - in other words, tasks he feels are beneath him - just say no. Ditch the jerk before you're too emotionally invested in the relationship.
