Looking back on past relationships, we sometimes wonder: why didn’t we see the red flags?
Sometimes our judgment is clouded and we fail to recognize warning signs that were always
apparent. Learning how to identify the warning signs in the beginning of a relationship can help
prevent unnecessary heartache and pain.
There are general warning signs that you shouldn’t ignore before investing your time and heart, so
that you can sever your ties before the attachment grows stronger and you get hurt.
Determine what your main requirements are and stick to them. It’s important not to lower your
standards and settle for anything less than you deserve.
Here are six relationship red flags you need to remember:
Flag #1 - Not Available on the Weekends
If the person you are falling for is only available to see you on weekdays or late at night, chances are
there is another love interest already occupying their time.
Flag #2 - Texting Rather Than Calling
When a person prefers to text you all the time rather than call, this is a clue that they are too busy or
involved with someone else; If someone really wants to get to know you, they will call you and hunt
you down like a predator hunts prey to prove their desire to be with you.
Flag #3 - Wanting Intimacy To Soon
If the person you’re dating tells you how much they love you and want you after the first date, they
are obviously playing mind games. Developing a friendship and romance takes time to
progress. Allow them to ask you out a few more times before intimacy occurs. You’re worth it!
Flag #4 - Not Looking for a Commitment
Avoid people who take you on an emotional roller coaster. If the person that you are seeing has told
you that they are not looking for a serious relationship, they have clearly decided from the very
beginning that they do not want to become emotionally involved with you.
Flag #5 - Treat Others Badly
How a person treats their family members and friends is definitely a sign of how they will treat you,
especially if you get on their bad side. If they treat others poorly or they talk back to friends or
family chances are they’ll treat you just as poorly.
Flag #6 - A One- Sided Relationship
If you’re the only one trying to keep the relationship going, you are already working too hard.
Relationships are two way streets; both parties need to be involved. If you get the impression you’re
investing more than he is pump the breaks and move on!
