Unpacking some potential red flags in romantic relationships or romantic interests. Ginny speaks much from her own experience in real life with "Chad." A common theme is that we need to trust ourselves and what feels right, or doesn't feel right, for us. If something seems nonsensical, it probably doesn't make sense. And no one is going to know what's right (or wrong) for you, better than you! Some of the things outlined here: Are they shady with their phone or constantly on it but doing "nothing" on it or talking to "no one?" Do they have weird notification settings on their phone, get a new phone number often, or use several different apps to communicate with different people? Pay attention to how they treat you in public vs private. Are your timelines aligned as to how quickly or slowly things are moving in the relationship? Is it too fast or too slow? Do they have long-standing friendships or other close relationships in their life? If not, this could be an indicator as to their ability to maintain relationships in general. Or if they've always been wronged and have a revolving door of friends in their life, this could be a big red flag. Lying, especially pathological lying can be detrimental to a romantic relationship or any type of relationship. Gaslighting, manipulation, jealousy, or constant criticism could be red flags as well. Inconsistency: How do they treat you in public vs private? Do they even take you in public? Do certain things just not add up, like their finances? Love bombing: are they over the top with showering & showering you with gifts, notes, cards, flowers, fancy dinners, concerts, sporting events & putting you on a pedestal? Open communication should be key. If they dodge difficult conversations and are secretive or don't support the exciting things you have going on or support the relationship, these could be red flags. And if they are having to sell you on how great they are...Ginny says to run the other way! No one should have to sell you on how good of a friend, person, boyfriend, girlfriend, etc they are. People will show you who they are. See that.
