Dating - Do Not Abandoned Yourself

filed in on Feb 16, 2007

Dating can be a part of  your healing.  It is hear where you can test yourself.  You have been doing the work of developing a deeper connection, and you have promised not to abandoned yourself ever again,.  Here are things to watch out for while you are dating.    They are red flags.    If you find yourself doing any of the behaviors below, please stop, pause, take a deep breath and get back in touch with yourself.

Red Flags and Questions to Ask Yourself /While Dating

Am I looking to this person to make my life feel important?

Am I starting to make his/her life a project of mine so I can feel important and needed?

Am I saying “yes” when I mean “no”?

Am I letting go of my friends and my other activities that are important to me because I want to be with him/her ?

Do I find myself giving and giving and not stopping to check if there is anything coming back?

Do I see any signal that leads me to believe he/she is not honest or dependable?  Are there inconsistencies in his/her behavior?

Check in with yourself.   Your body is your compass, it is talking to you all the time.  Listen and trust yourself.   But always pay attention.  You are responsible for the choices you are making.   So make them consciously.
