QUESTION
Hi Kiara,
It’s been a couple of weeks since I started dating someone, and I feel like he’s sharing too much. Does oversharing raise any red flags? How do we know when to move on and go find someone with more emotional intelligence?
Love,
Josie!
ANSWER
Hi Josie,
If you’re looking for a fulfilling and healthy relationship, it’s important to be aware of potential red flags when you’re dating. One of the most obvious signs of a bad partner is someone who talks about the 3 things listed below:
- The first type of guy you should avoid is one who talks too much about himself. It’s natural to want to share stories and experiences with your date, but if they are constantly talking about themselves and not asking about you, it’s a red flag. This type of person is likely to be selfish and uninterested in getting to know you.
- The second type of guy to avoid is one who talks about his ex all the time. If your date can’t stop talking about their ex and the relationship that ended, it’s a sign that they are still hung up on them and not ready to move on. This is a recipe for disaster in any relationship, so it’s best to steer clear of anyone who can’t let go of their past.
- The third type of guy to stay away from is someone who talks about money all the time. If your date is always talking about money – how much they have, how much they make, and how they plan to make more – it’s a sign that they are more interested in their wealth than in getting to know you. Money is an important part of any relationship, but it should never be the main topic of conversation.
If the guy you’re dating talks about any of the above topics too often, it’s time to move on. A healthy relationship should be focused on mutual respect, communication, and getting to know each other. Don’t waste your time on someone who can’t give you what you need.
Love,
Kiara!
