Relationship Red Flags

Relationship red flags are behaviors that need to be questioned or addressed when you observe them in your partner. Most relationship red flags are related to violating the basic pillars of successful relationships — trust, communication, respect fidelity, etc. Sighting your partner waving one of these red flags isn’t necessarily an indicator that the relationship is dead, but you should definitely bring some attention to these issues.

A common behavior that leads to a relationship downfall is a lack of communication. Successful relationships rely on partners being able to talk to each other. Similarly, trust is important. If your partner is consistently lying to you or is afraid to be honest, then it suggests some serious problems down the road. Not having time for each other is another red flag — a relationship cannot develop positively if the people involved don’t spend time with each other.

Some more serious red flags include excessively controlling behavior, which can manifest itself in your partner trying to separate you from your other friends and family and trying to monopolize all of your time. Similarly, how someone treats service workers can give a decent insight into their character — someone who is rude to people who provide them service could be buying themselves a ticket for a power trip you don’t want to be invited on.

Is He a Player?

Are you seeing someone new and starting to feel like you are being manipulated? It always seems like he’s making little “errors” when he talks to you – he forgets certain details or doesn’t ever really call you by name (it’s always “Honey” or some other pet name). Maybe she makes you feel like she wants a relationship, but when you try to take it to the next level, she backs off.  Does he flirt with almost every woman who walks by when you’re out or keep in touch with his ex? Does she say “maybe” when you talk about your next date or when you’ll hear from her again? These are not the signs of someone who is interested in a relationship – they are indicators of someone who is interested in “working” the romance to get the most out of it before moving on to greener pastures. To decide “is he a player?”, pay attention to the red flags!

Don’t settle for less than the best. With Elegant Introduction’s elite matchmaking services, we will find the most compatible match for you right from the start! For more information, visit Nancy and Barbara at Elegant Introductions at 305-615-1900 or contact us today.

Pay Attention to Relationship Red Flags!

Relationship red flags can be raised for all sorts of reasons, but you must pay attention to them if you spot any! For example, is your love hyper-critical of you? Do they constantly judge others around you? In other words, do they go through life putting down everything and everyone? You might dismiss it now, but it is a symptom of someone who doesn’t love themselves, and therefore, can’t love you in the way you deserve.

It’s time to find a romance that gives you both joy in being together. Our life coaching services can help you understand what you want and need from a relationship! For more information, visit Nancy and Barbara at Elegant Introductions at 305-615-1900 or contact us today.

Are Your Eyes Open to Relationship Red Flags?

Starry-eyed in a new romance? Just be careful if you spot any relationship red flags! Sometimes, we are so happy to be in love that we can overlook warning signs.

An example applies to a single friend who began dating a man from her gym. He was preparing to compete in a bodybuilding contest, so she expected that there would be things she might have to give up at first, until he got through the challenges of getting ready for the contest. It turns out that he was so engrossed in himself and getting into competitive shape that all of their dates were solely focused on him (could he eat here or would it blow his diet? Could he risk inuring himself if they did that activity?). Through the few weeks they dated, he never bothered to find out much about her, so she broke it off with him. Happily, she saw the red flag flapping in the breeze and got out before investing too much time in the relationship.

Are You Seeing Relationship Red Flags?

Relationship red flags are there for a reason! Even though we might want to overlook things, especially in a romantic relationship, when warning bells go off in your head, pay attention to them. Is he hypercritical of you? Is she constantly talking badly about her ex? Or, maybe your newfound love has one topic of conversation – themselves? Save yourself some heartache and be sure you thoroughly examine them if you see warning signs in your current relationship!

10 Relationship Red Flags

You’ve found romance and are head over heels in love – that’s great! But, the elite matchmakers are Elegant Introductions remind you to keep your head about you. In other words, don’t be so starry eyed that you are blinded to potential relationship red flags.

Don’t get us wrong, every relationship has its little bumps in the road, especially when you are first getting to know someone and figuring out how to communicate with each other. But, sometimes there are warning signs in a relationship that need to be examined, and, if you spot some of the relationship red flags on our list, you owe it to yourself to address them before you invest too much time in the relationship.

10 Relationship Red Flags
  1. Why did their last relationship end? What do they have to say about their past relationships? If the breakups are always the “other person’s fault”, that’s a huge warning sign!
  2. How fast are they pushing the relationship? Pacing is everything! Telling you they’ve fallen fast and hard for you or asking for a commitment too quickly can leave you flattered and breathless, but it can also be a warning sign of an unhealthy relationship. For example, maybe they are pushing too fast because they just want someone (anyone!) in their life to avoid being alone.
  3. Personality conflicts? You can’t change someone, so don’t try to make them fit into your idea of romance. If you are constantly butting heads or they are doing things you tell yourself you can “fix”, that’s a big red flag!
  4. You catch the person you are dating in a lie. Even if it’s just a little lie, lying to each other is not the way to build the trust a relationship needs to succeed.
  5. Your new sweetheart is critical of much (or everything) about you. If they aren’t happy with you in the “honeymoon phase” of a relationship, how much more critical will they be when the glow of new love has worn off?
  6. Your honey is a generally negative person. Everyone has bad days, but when you constantly have to reassure them or spend a lot of time trying to turn negatives into positives, it gets tiresome! And, as we pointed out in #5, when the glow wears off, how much more of a Negative Nelly or Ned will they be?
  7. You new love just got out of a relationship. People need time to recover from a broken romance and you don’t want to be the rebound love that spends each date consoling them! Additionally, you don’t want to become emotionally invested in a person who just may end up going back to their ex.
  8. You are never invited to their place and/or haven’t met any of their friends or family members. Or, they won’t commit to anything until the last minute. What are they hiding?
  9. He expects you to split the check…on your first date!
  10.  Your new love is financially irresponsible. Be wary of romantic partners who try to borrow money or can’t keep up with their bills. If they can’t handle their money now, what will things be like if the relationship proceeds and you end up married or living together? You could end up investing way more into the romance than you expected.

We “vet” your dates and screen for relationship red flags ahead of time, so you only meet the matches that mean something! For more information, call Elegant Introductions in South Florida at 305-615-1900 or contact us today.
