Not Showing Interest In Her as a Person
Sometimes women ask multiple questions, however, all women want to find a man who is interested in them and one who appreciates them.
Whenever she asks you questions, make sure you answer her and ask her what she enjoys doing during her free time, what her passions are and where she enjoys vacations.
Not Being a Gentleman
All ladies including those who are deemed to be independent, strong and successful appreciate gentlemen.
Being courteous, taking the lead and being considerate as well as paying for dinner are gentlemanly things you need to do. Make sure your date gets home safely by taking her to the station or accompanying her to her car.
 Making Physical Connections Too Early
Physical intimacy in a relationship can make the process difficult to navigate especially when done too early. It speeds up physical intimacy as emotional connection lags behind. This causes a shift or disconnect.
We therefore begin to expect more after physical intimacy a thing that doesn’t align with the early stages of dating. During the early stages of dating, as you get to know each other with your partner, you should wait until you are on the same page as them and you know for sure that you like them.
Expecting Too Much From Them Soon
In the early stages of dating, you need to understand that they aren’t your partner. They are a stranger to you and therefore they don’t owe you their weekend time or an invitation to what they are doing.
If you have partner expectations of someone you just started dating, then you are putting too much pressure on the situation. Therefore you should focus on getting to know them better.
Getting Ahead of Yourself
During the initial dates, you may start making assumptions and you may bow them up in your mind making you suffer anxiety over something that’s not real.
You may also begin to fantasize about a future before you know them properly. Therefore stay in the present and focus on reality.
Justifying Red Flags
This seems like plainly ignoring red flags or explaining them away because there are other things that you like about them. In as much as nobody is perfect, trying to look past red flags means you are lowering your standards. Therefore, the moment you see a red flag, it’s best to walk away.
