The Warning Signs: Red Flags You Should Never Ignore

“If someone tells you they’re not looking for anything serious, believe them.”

It’s easy to convince ourselves that things will change if we just stick around long enough. But the truth is, when someone tells us they don’t want a serious relationship, it’s unlikely their mind will be changed down the road.

“When people show you who they are, believe them.”

Words are meaningless without action to back them up. If somebody consistently shows deceptive behavior or lack of effort—they’ve demonstrated who they truly are deep down. It’s best not to try and convince yourself otherwise.

“If their actions aren’t matching their words, run!”

Actions speak louder than words — Even if somebody claims they care about us deeply (yet rarely make plans with us) , then it may be time to re-assess why our needs aren’t being met and move forward accordingly.

Why You Deserve Better: Remembering Your Worth In Relationships

“Don’t settle for mediocre love when extraordinary love is within reach.”

The allure of a subpar relationship can fool many into thinking “this is as good as it gets”. However by recognizing this mindset only serves to cheat ourselves out of experiencing something truly amazing – Just stay patient and relentless!

“Stop searching desperately for someone who doesn’t see all that makes you special.”

Seeking validation from another person can manifest itself in unhealthy insecurities which could reduce one’s inherent value at times leading us to search for the wrong person. Remember you’re ultimately after someone who can appreciate and recognize all of your talents.

“There is no need to chase people who are not interested or make plans with someone who flakes.”

It’s best we learn how to let go / detach from those that aren’t invested in reciprocation in order for us save our efforts and time on finding someone trustworthy instead.

How To Move Forward: The Smart, Effective Way

“Staying in a relationship too long won’t diminish wasted time, it only adds regret.”

A new day brings about opportune changes, and prolonginged unproductive relationships only leaves room for regrets which should be avoided by moving onto greener pastures.

“The breakup was tough but don’t romanticize something that didn’t work out”.

Regardless of whether it ended peacefully or dramatically – reminiscing over what was is like driving backwards looking at the rear view mirror when steering ahead is incredibly important as well.

“Focus on improving yourself before dating another toxic partner.”

When old tendencies & qualities pop up unintentionally (shared pattern from prior experience), It’s good practice exercising introspection so one remains conscious throughout the journey that lie ahead rather than entering into another cycle with similar issues.

When All Else Fails: Honest Approaches

“Honesty isn’t always pretty but deception does more harm than good.”

Becoming deceitful in perhaps an attempt to avoid conflict will usually result in piling on layers of misrepresentation; instead confront situations head-on whilst avoiding aggressive language tactics if possible .

“If you have truly fallen out love then be honest as hard impossible as it appears”.

In most cases dishonesty – would at its core come back later down the road causing even more frictions overall.

“Be upfront about what you want early-on to minimize problematic surprises later”.

By establishing expectations upfront one will avoid spinning wheels in relationships/marriages overall where lack of commitment on someones part gets everyone caught off guard.

Quotes to Remember When Settling Seems Easier

1. “Don’t settle for less just because it fits into your timeline.”
2. ”Remember, Always trust the gut feeling that something should be different – even if you can’t provide evidence”.

Wastage of time and energy is not worth experiencing false commitments or being mistreated – the right person exists somewhere so why settle? Keep moving forward until then!
