Pay attention to the red flags in relationships. If you have a sense, an intuition that something isn't right, that the answers you're getting don't really make sense, don't sweep your suspicions under the rug. Face the music. Confront your fears. Confront your red flags. Ask questions. Because if you don't, then the red flags are likely to reveal themselves down the the road after you have invested a great deal of yourself, your time, and your resources in an ultimately unsatisfying and unsustainable relationship.
