According to USA Today 3-23-12, music Consultant, Tom Vickers, said about Whitney Houston’s death, “Her marriage to Bobby Brown was the first step down 30 miles of bad road that culminated in this tragedy.”
If that is true, then a more accurate truth is that, the first step down the road, was when she continued dating someone who was ‘not right.’
Singles, please don’t ignore Red Flags!!
Red Flags are warning signs. Here are a few. Some humorous – some, not so much.
1. Strong opinion about ‘everything’. You can have some strong opinions; convictions are
important. But you don’t have to declare everything you think. This is a turnoff to men
especially.
2. Defensive. Won’t admit mistakes. Genuine humility is crucial to a healthy relationship.
Women are not impressed with this.
3. Talks about themselves constantly. A self-focused person can be in an introvert as well as
an extrovert. “enough talk about me. Let’s talk about you – what do you think about
me?”
4. Sends out a photo of self with a cat.
5. Had more than 5 boyfriends / girlfriends in last year.
6. They have authority issues. (dads, cops, leaders, coaches, employers, blah, blah blah…)
101 resons to disrespect authority.
7. Doesn’t want to talk about a past issues.
8. During disagreements they start verbally attacking you.
9. Can’t serve or volunteer to help others; but if they do, they make a big deal about it.
10. Critical of others. Critical of situations. Critical of you. Critical of this blog.
11. 30 years old and have no real direction in their life.
12. You met them in a Walmart after midnight. (What were YOU doing there anyway?)
What other red flags do you notice?
