The Red Flags
Introduction
We've all had that date that we wish we never went on in the first place. It often also teaches us what we don't want in a relationship. There are some red flags that you should be looking for when you are first dating someone. Last week we talked about how to prepare and handle your first date, now we need to go over what you should be looking out for.
Let's get to it! Now a good first red flag at least in my personal book is if they are texting you way to much off the bat or needing you too much before they even really know you. This shows obsessive behavior and could be a problem further down the road. Also show signs of a controlling person.
Secondly, is if you go out to dinner with a guy or girl and they a rude to the waiter or waitress. You can bet that they have got no manners and will not treat you or your family with any respect either. This also shows their blatant disregard for other people's feelings.
Another huge red flag is lack of communication if they can't respond or confirm a date, you can bet that they probably won't be good with communication in the future either. Also you should never feel insecure in a relationship if you do there's a problem and your gut is telling you something.
Also listen to your family if they say they don't like your significant other, there's probably a reason why and if the person your dating keeps a lot of secrets from you it's another a red flag especially if they are dismissive of your feelings as well. Make sure your always keeping your eyes open for these signs.
Remember it's great to be with someone but it's not good to settle!
Last piece of advice I have for you today is always listen to your gut, it usually won't steer you wrong. Even if you feel like you won't find the person you are suppose to end up with you will it just might take time.
There will be other people! The people who treat you less don't deserve a place in your life! Keep your heart open and consider yourself lucky that you found out sooner than later that the person you were dating wasn't the one.
