I met this really great guy who adores me. He is a genuinely good guy. We've been talking/dating for about 3 months now. I don't know if I want to be with him or not. He treats me with the utmost respect, and wants to meet my two year old daughter. He's great with kids, in school, never been in trouble, and working...but theres one problem. His pants are always practically at his ankles and I hate it. I've brought it up to him jokingly, but I don't know if he gets the hint. This really bothers me but is it worth giving up a good thing?

Tell him you are concerned that people will perceive him as immature or whatever else bothers you about his style and tell him it's not a personal attack. You just know that wearing his pants below his ass isn't how a 20-year-old should be dressing. It's how a 13-15-year-old might.
You need to take him shopping and get him looking more put together and sophisticated. I'm sure he will appreciate that and honestly tell him that this bothered you so much you almost didn't commit to a relationship.
If he's perfect in every single way and unlike most guys wants your daughter in his life than keep him because a lack of style is something easily fixed if you show him how to dress and what your turn on and turn offs are and point out in general that it bugs other girls, friends and maybe even his employer. Be blunt as he'd rather be educated than stumble along with it. [ solidadvice4teens's advice column | Ask solidadvice4teens A Question ]
