4. He gives you that little pat on the back. Watch out for this one. A person who gives you a hug while patting you on the back is indicating that they are uncomfortable with what they're doing. The bigger the pat, the more discomfort they feel. Could be the kiss in front of Aunt Mildred. Could be garlic breath. Could be you.

5. He buys a pre-paid cell phone or pager. This is a really bad sign. Private investigators everywhere will tell you the pager purchase is a sign of impending heartbreak. Sure, it could be for work, but more likely, he's using it to get a head start on his post-you life.

6. He used to be a blue jeans kind of guy and suddenly he's obsessed with Armani. A person who is about to leave (or is cheating) will take greater care with his appearance—updating his wardrobe, losing weight, working out and even changing cologne.

The good news is that if you make it through to Valentine's Day, you're on the road to a long-term relationship. And if you don't? Well, just consider yourself lucky: You'll have lots of company. So, wipe away those tears, update your profile and start your own mission to find true love. This could be your year.
