Don't ignore these 5 red flags when dating, says psychologist: They're saying 'you're not a priority'

TL;DR

  • Inconsistent attention and communication can indicate you are not a priority.
  • Consistently blaming ex-partners for relationship failures suggests a lack of self-reflection and accountability.
  • Future faking, or making elaborate future plans early on, can create a false sense of intimacy.
  • Disrespectful behavior rationalized as 'just being honest' is a major red flag.
  • Feeling like you must constantly perform or audition for your date's attention is a sign of an unhealthy dynamic.
