How to Read Warning Signs Before Entering into a Dating Relationship
Heed the Red Light Warning Signs that Tell You to Walk Away
Finally, you met someone at the Supermarket and the two of you clicked. You started by casually talking, then dating. However, he never brought you home to meet his family and was hesitant to meet yours. At this very moment a warning signal should have gone on. You should have walked away.
Think!
1. What do you know about him apart from what he has told you? Have you met his mother? Does he have sisters and brothers? Where does he live? Does he have his own apartment or own a home? If he is old enough to be on his own, and he lives at home, he might depend on his parents to pay for his bills and expenses. This should tell you to walk away.
2. Does he drink too much when you go out for dinner? Does he order a bottle of wine instead of a glass and drinks it all? This could be a signal that he is an alcoholic and the warning should be heeded.
3. Have you just met and and yet he is already talking about marriage? Do you about his past dating habits? Does he talk badly about his previous girl friends? Does he tell you he wants to be his one and only? Beware! He might be a wife beater or take charge of your life. Walk away immediately. The warning signal should be heeded.
4. Where does he work? Does he have a job? Does he ask you often to pay for the dinner because he left his wallet at home? This might be a sign that he has no job, or that he supports his mother, or maybe he is already married and has a family? Give thought to all possibilities.
5. Does he lose his temper often? Does he make excuses why to not meet your friends? If your relationship is one of solitude, there is a another warning signal that you should be aware of immediately. He sounds like a man who would order you around. He would fly into a rage and slap you around unless he was able to take control over you completely. Leave him immediately. Walk away before he starts to beat you. Do not minimize his actions. Tell someone about it-do not keep it to yourself.
5. Keep in mind, a relationship between two people in love, should be the best time in your life. There should not be any warning signals or doubts in your mind. You should be in a relationship where you each think of each other. This is a lasting relationship.
The dating scene is behind you. You have met someone who adores you. You should introduce him to all of your friends and not have to hide him. Family members should meet him and even a walk in the park, holding hands, should feel like you are on Cloud 9.
However, if you are happy one moment and sad the next or if you wear long sleeves to hide the bruises on your arms - Leave! Walk away! The relationship will not get better instead it will only get worse!
Keep an eye out for the warning signals! Do not make excuses. Your life might be in danger if you do.

This is a good idea. My next article for Dating and Relationships will be a Guide for the Guys.
Interesting article. You should write a guide like this for guys as well though. I would be very much interested in reading that!
Great advice. I once had a guy propose on our first date! And another in a parking lot (I didn't even know his NAME - we'd just been chatting on our way to the mall!) ....
Good advice! Look before you leap!
These are some very important points. Good writing.
Good thinking here!
No woman (or man, for that matter) should tolerate (right word) these terminal, deal breakers, Sondra. I know they have, are, and will - but they shouldn't and can end it, if they will. Michael K. Miller
You did a good job on this Sondra, good suggestions as usual, thanks.
Good write fun read.
