The early days of new love can send you into a heady tailspin as you get caught up in the rush of chemistry and hormones. Because of the intensity of early dating, we may brush by important signs that a relationship is not right for you.
Don’t get too flattered when someone says, “I think you are the one,” after the first date. It’s not how a relationship starts that matters, It’s how it evolves. Just because your new boo is calling you crazy and bombarding you with attention in the early days does not mean they are a perfect match for you.
In fact, some people “love bomb” you so hard so that you ignore their character flaws. Take your time and find out who this person is. A person isn’t what they say, they are how they consistently behave.
Unhealthy partners love to isolate their victims–and the best way to do that is to cut you off from the people you love the most. Healthy love includes independence.
