Simplest indicator I know was shared by my good friend Gene, quite a devoted blues guitar player. He knew an otherwise hopeful relationship was headed nowhere when the lady explained that she didn't like it when he bent the strings. (After all, this is Mudcat; we have to have SOME music in here.)

I had a variant of the astrology deal where the lady consulted the I Ching to see what she should do. Either one is a great excuse to blow off your own responsibility for making decisions and just enjoy life as a loose cannon.

Bottom line, though, is it's one thing to rationally compile lists of indicators and another thing to pay attention to that list; that's probably why I broke up with my totally compatible soul mate and will probably stay with my incompatible other half forever, or until death do us part, whichever happens first.
