Don't Ignore the "Red Flags" on the First Few Dates!
Always listen to your intuition.
“Be aware of the big red flags & maintain some boundaries when you are dating!”
Famous last words right??
It is not easy today in the world of relationships, dating and rarely meeting someone in a face to face scenario. Everyone is behind their technology screens and hoping & praying that they find someone they can eventually fall in love with.
Unfortunately men & women are frustrated and some people are becoming desperate enough to let some of their core values fall to the basement of their priorities!
This is not a good thing and even if it gets them a few months in a relationship; they are not being true to themselves and are short changing their future happiness.
Being too picky is not a good thing but overlooking key principals that are important to you is just as bad if you want a relationship of substance.
Finding love is definitely a lot of work, but well worth the investment when it happens.
Don’t settle just because you are lonely, or feeling pressure from your friends, family or your age. It’s your life, nobody else's and you can take all the time in the world to get it right.
There is no time clock unless you allow one to be there.
Many people think that they are taking the easy road by accepting only a small piece of what they want in a partner. Sadly this type of relationship becomes a burden, because every day you see the sacrifice you made.
The red flags are waving in your face to get your attention and if you choose to ignore them and be OK in a fictitious relationship, you will always been yearning for what could have been.
No one is perfect and no one is telling you to look for perfection but don’t overlook the qualities that are important to you.
We all have different morals & standards but our character should never be compromised to the point in where we lose a big part of ourselves just to be with someone else.
Your life partner should be an extension of who you are; not the other way around.

WHY DOES MY NEW GIRLFRIEND CONTINUALLY TALK ABOUT HER EX?
This is a good question not to ignore as it is a big red flag for both sexes to pay close attention to! It is not OK for your new partner to continually bring up her Ex. You are right to be concerned because it generally means she is emotionally unavailable and not ready to date. You will definitely have to have an honest conversation with her about this, and it is important to acknowledge this scenario early on and not to leave things unaddressed hoping it will go away.
