Logically, you know that you can learn and grow from mistakes. But realistically? You'd be lying if you said there weren't some headaches you wish you could skip. From undateable men to that fourth rum and coke, here are just a few things we'd be better off for if they came with a disclaimer.
1. Dead-End Dudes
Warning: The guy you are about to date comes with a hard expiration date, triggered by one or more of the following: commitment issues, an interfering mother, lack of ambition, unbearable habits, or a dead-on-arrival sex life. Save yourself the trouble, and run the other way now.
2. Future Horrible Roommates
Warning: You might love the same TV shows and share a passion for exposed brick, but behind the normal-seeming exterior of your new roomie waits a crazy, messy beast who can't wait to take marathon showers, eat your food, and break your French press.
3. Charming Fixer-Uppers
Warning: No amount of Pinterest-gleaned DIY skills can solve the bajillion impossible problems lurking underneath the cute hardwood floors of this old house.
4. Seemingly Comfortable Shoes
Warning: Every night you wear these babies out will end in blisters, tears, and a barefoot walk home when you just can't take it anymore.

5. Sexist Guys
Warning: The adorable dedication to chivalry that drew you in is actually the tip of a larger, misogynistic iceberg. Make a graceful exit before he tries to engage you in a "friendly" debate against feminism or rants about how girls always go for jerks and not Nice Guys like him.
6. Too-Good-to-be-True Dresses
Warning: This magical garment that makes you look like a sex goddess in the dressing room is actually the result of a skinny mirror and strategically dim lighting. When you get home, you will discover you actually look like a potato.
7. Fair-Weather Friends
Warning: Your favorite new brunch buddy will be MIA during your bad breakup, after your terrible day at work, and when you need help moving—and she will undoubtedly disappear the moment she gets a boyfriend.

8. The Last Drink of the Night
Warning: You are about to tip the scales from buzzed to sloppy. This drink will start the domino effect that begins with you dancing jubilantly on a table and ends with leaving your ex a weepy voicemail.
9. New TV Series
Warning: You are about to sign your soul over to hours of binge watching. Prepare to say goodbye to all other responsibilities, dates, and human interaction until you get through five seasons' worth of shamefully whispering, "Just one more episode," to yourself.
