Beyond the Spark: 5 Early Red Flags That Prove You’re Not a Match (Even if the Chemistry is Real)
Remembering about these, you’ll get a clear understanding of the situation in just a couple of first dates.
When it comes to dating, the sparks can start flying right after the first meeting, making you feel like you’ve been destined to meet this person and spend your whole life together.
However, everyone wants to make a good impression, so the first several dates can give you a wrong image of the person you’re seeing, but some signs indicate you better not let your relationship go further. Here are five most common early red flags you should keep in mind.
Your Partner Is Always Busy
Have you ever felt abandoned just because the person you’re seeing has suddenly disappeared, despite being extra attentive earlier? This is one of the clearest signs that your partner doesn’t see you as their priority and made it look like they’re extremely interested in you just to get you into a trap.
Your Partner Always Blames Their Exes
A lot can be said about a person by the way they talk about their former partners. If your date keeps complaining about their exes and blames them for ruining relationships, it’s a good reason to think they might not be able to take responsibility. Alternatively, a person admitting their mistakes in past relationships is a green flag.
Your Partner Makes Grand Plans With You
You might have seen each other a couple of times, but your date doesn’t stop talking about your future together. This can be your partner’s attempt to create an illusion of bond that you don’t have yet and accelerate your relationship development. However, confident people who have respect for their potential partner won’t rush such things.
Your Partner Offends You With Their “Straightforwardness”
Many people tend to quite literally insult others explaining it by the fact that they’re just being honest and straightforward. However, it usually indicates their incapability to take others’ feelings into consideration. If you feel like this happens to your partner as well, you might consider ending things before such insults become your daily norm.
Your Partner Doesn’t Give You Enough Attention
The first thing to remember before getting into a new relationship is that it shouldn’t be an emotional roller coaster. Still, many tend to think it’s pretty normal to have some instability at first, begging for some attention from the partner that shows up and disappears just as quickly. Eventually, this can lead to emotional burnout and feeling of discomfort near this person.
