What are you unwilling to deal with in another person? What traits do you want to steer clear of as you search for love?

In today’s episode, we are going to consider your Deal-Breakers list. When you date without first defining what is important to you in a relationship, it is much easier to get swayed by a person who doesn’t have the qualities and values you are seeking. 

The dead end relationships created this way suck time and energy from finding someone who would be a better fit, or could lead you to give up in frustration. Even worse, one of these relationships could lead to a lifetime of unhappiness. 

Deal Breakers
Just as important as the positive values I wanted to find in a mate, there were traits that I wanted to be sure I avoided at all costs, no matter how exciting they seemed otherwise. . 

Taking the time to create a Deal-Breaker list not only helped guide me, but it also strengthened my resolve for not settling. When I was younger, I had little idea what I wanted in a relationship. The second time around I had many life experiences to pull from. After creating my Must-Have and Deal-Breaker lists, I had a clear vision of the kind of person I wanted to meet. 

Dating is a roller coaster ride of emotion, and most people you meet won’t be a good fit. Yet it’s easy to overlook things in the excitement of meeting someone who shows great interest in you. Especially when faced with a charming personality, rugged good looks, or a stunning figure. These lists can keep you on course.

My goal is to help you to find the right one, not just anyone. Having a clear view of the kind of person you want to find will help you know what to look for, where to focus your energy, and who to eliminate.
