Red Flags

What types of comments make you want to cut and run? Not just because the date is boring, his haircut sucks, or you want to get home in time for Real Housewives. But because you think you already know the reason you're going to break up with the guy and you haven't even started dating him yet?

Here are some I've personally heard:

All my exes are crazy.

My mom really wants me to get married. I'm hoping one of my siblings gets married first to take the pressure off me.

My last girlfriend and I are best friends now.

mmmk.

I have had to train myself to see these comments for what they are and not assume things will change. Because they never do. So you can take the risk of dating him, knowing this flaw is almost certain to come back to bite you in the ass. Or you can wait for the guy who simply hasn't met the right person yet, has no strings attached to his past, and is ready to see you for what you truly are: AWESOME. Because that is how the right guy will feel about you, and anyone else simply doesn't deserve your time.
