Dating Red Flags – Why You Need to Know About Dating Red Flags

Singles need to know about dating red flags for many reasons — especially because they’ve often been ignored in the past and have led to dating disappointment.  While red flags certainly aren’t the cause or the blame for every relationship breakup, when they’re ignored, they tend to create very difficult
circumstances.  It’s so much better to see the signs early on so that you can make decisions in alignment with what you most want for your life.

There are many reasons why you need to know about dating red flags.  A few of these include:

1.  Red flag behaviors are a poor foundation for a happy relationship.

Life is filled with challenges.  It can be hard enough to manage daily life when you’re on your own, but add another person to the mix and you better have a solid foundation in place.  Trying to build an enjoyable, meaningful and sustainable relationship with someone who demonstrates poor behavior is like trying to build a home, on stilts, in quicksand.  Impossible!

2.  Red flags can be dangerous to yourself and your loved ones.

3.  An awareness of red flags empowers you to make better decisions – especially about selecting the right partner in life.

Why do you feel you need to know about dating red flags?  How do you think this knowledge will affect your relationship plans?

When you’re dating, it’s important to be aware of red flags – like this one:

He or She is Jealous of Your Friends and Family

Why would anyone be jealous?  A freakishly high level of possessiveness is a red flag.  I’ve notice that a lot of jealous people are also control freaks.  This is too much work.  Don’t go there.
