You're attracted to the bad boy. He's rude, he doesn't express his feelings well, so don't expect this relationship to be smooth sailing. He may unknowingly hurt the feelings of those around him.

Of course the "bad boy" character in dramas is not the same as a truly bad person in real life. If your man has a violent streak or is unfaithful, then it's probably best to get out now.
