Don’t make the mistake of ignoring those signs and getting stuck in a painful
relationship. Your dating partner doesn’t yet know you , and vice versa, but how you communicate now sets the path for the future.
Instead, reflect on the following relationship mistakes to avoid in a relationship.
1) BEING OVERLY DESPERATE AND OBESSIVE
This often happens when you first meet a guy or you are in the early stages of getting to know him. If you’re overly obsessive, you might find yourself constantly calling, texting, or wanting to be around him.
Some women even start planning weddings after just one date!
Why?
That shouldn’t even cross your mind. Just because he takes you out doesn’t mean he wants to date you; he wants to get to know you.
If you act too forward or desperate, he may back off, leaving you wondering why. Practice self-control—allow the man to chase you. Remember, “He who finds a wife finds a good thing.”
2) BRAGGING ABOUT YOUR ACHIEVEMENT
When you first meet a man, you might feel proud of your accomplishments and want him to know. However, keep it minimal. Too much talk about your achievements can hurt a man’s ego. I’m not saying suppress your achievements, but don’t list them all right away.
3) OFFERING TO PAY ON DATES ALL THE TIME
Some women, wanting to show they are independent, overdo it by insisting on paying. If you want a high-value man, stop this. At the initial stages, men want the chance to show they can take care of you, so don’t take that opportunity away.
4) DEMANDING TRANSPORT FARE
There’s nothing classy about demanding transport fare to attend a date. If you can handle your own fare, do so. Unless he offers, don’t ask him to pay for your transportation.
5) HAVING BOSSY COMMUNICATION SKILLS
You don’t need to speak harshly or aggressively. Men find overly rude or aggressive women unattractive. Embrace your femininity if you want a man to stay in your life.
6) BEING ALWAYS AVAILABLE
Don’t be overly available at the beginning. If you grab every invite, he might think you’re also available for other guys. Sometimes, be intentionally unavailable.
7) LACKOF EFFORT
If you contribute nothing to the relationship and expect him to shoulder all your needs, you’re mistaken. He shouldn’t have to handle all your problems at the start. He is not your father nor your husband just yet.
8) WEARING TOO MUCH MAKEUP
When going on a date, you don’t need to use all your makeup to impress a guy. High-value men prefer you without makeup.If you must wear some, keep it minimal.
10) EXPECTING OTHERS TO BE MORE THAN THEY ARE
Dating mistakes to avoid in a new relationship revolve around setting impossible expectations. This puts pressure on both of you but probably harms you more in the end.
With impossible expectations, you will be frequently let down, which leads to depression and feelings of dissatisfaction. The challenge is that our societies put excessive expectations on us and reward us for being superhuman.
11) PRESENTING A MASK
As mentioned, be yourself in any relationship, no matter how new or established. Making mistakes in a relationship is normal, and you’ll make them throughout your life. It’s how we grow and learn. In fact, most people do anything they can to stay away from conflict without realizing that conflict is a healthy part of any relationship. If you’re only presenting a mask and accepting everything, conflict and mutual growth can’t.happen.
12) ACCEPTING BAD BEHAVIOUR
When it comes to relationship mistakes,
don’t ignore the red flags. There are many toxic people out there who have to work through their own issues. If someone is overly angry or if their words don’t match their actions, you might need to rethink.
