There’s a great episode of "Sex in the City" when Carrie and Berger are on a break. Samantha tells Carrie that the test of a good relationship is whether he makes her frown or smile.
I’m not claiming that some women (like some men) can’t be a bit emotionally unstable on their own, but when sweet Jessica was dating Robert, she suddenly found herself doing all kinds of ridiculous things she would never have done before, like crying every time he left her place.
When a guy comes at you hot and heavy at the beginning of the relationship, he could be chasing the feeling of being in the “Honeymoon Phase”.
Tarot card: The Chariot When Raquel and Luis first began dating, for example, she kept telling him time after time that she wasn’t ready to sleep with him. First, she wanted them to focus on deepening their friendship, and second, she wanted it to be special.
When you’re dating someone who expects you to completely devote yourself to them above all else, they are not the one! Julia had been dating Rob for three months when he suddenly started being possessive of her. He didn’t want her spending any time without him.
If you’re interested in someone who puts you on a pedestal, beware! You could fall off and get really hurt! If a man lets you walk all over him, he is not the one for you. One of the purposes of a relationship is that our partner is supposed to challenge us to be the best version of ourselves.
If a man you’re interested in is making decisions or avoiding telling you something based on how he thinks you’re going to react, he’s just taken away all of your choices rather than giving you the benefit of the doubt.
If you feel like you have to be a detective with your man, then there is something off about your relationship. Either you’ve got some jealousy issues you need to work out, or he is doing some shady stuff.
If a man doesn’t value you, then he is not your one. Usually, with this sign, there are two reasons a man doesn't see your worth: either he doesn’t value himself, so he can't value you, or you don’t value yourself, so how can't either.
If at any time during the relationship, you feel like you can’t be yourself, then he is not the one! So many women tend to divorce parts of themselves when they are in a relationship.
If you’re dating someone that you really like, but you just don’t feel that “X Factor” with him, then he’s probably not your "one". Even if you don’t feel fireworks right out of the gates, when he’s the one, there is something about him that can’t keep you away.
