How to spot red flags when dating: The second scenario is a partner who feels needed by constantly fulfilling your needs at nauseam. This style is all about you. They dote on you every moment, they want to take care of you and coddle you like you aren’t self sufficient, they buy things and/or are constantly doing things for you to make them feel desirable, important and happy. If the dynamic is YOU as the main focal point of a relationship, there may be little room for real growth, individually or as a couple. These people are usually emotionally unavailable and feel validated by constantly taking care of you, spoiling you, etc. They are incapable of opening their heart and showing deep emotion and true intimacy. In Conclusion: Many people see the red flags but think they will be the “special” one to change an individual. If you see several of the warning signs listed above, the question isn’t if you will be the One to change this person’s behavior. The question you should ask yourself is if this is the style of relationship you desire in your life. What are you willing to give up long term to have a partner who isn’t fully capable of a healthy relationship? Keep yourself alert and attuned to what is going on before, during and after your dates, so you will be able to weed out the good partners from the bad ones. This leaves the door open for you to date only those people who meet your standards for desirable behavior in a relationship. Looking for your perfect Match? Schedule a chat today!
