Internet Dating; Be On The Lookout For These (christian marriages) Red Flags

By Roberto Garabell

  The first thing you do after signing up for an internet dating site is create your profile, including photos and a list of your personal traits. If you’re smart you’ll include a few personal attention grabbing essentials and maybe even a humorous little story about yourself to showcase your sense fun.

So now that your profile is posted it’s time to start browsing. You plug your “my dream date must haves” into the dating site’s search engine and sit back while it does all the work. Within seconds you’ll have a list of profiles to look at.

Now before you get too comfortable reading them, here are some things you should watch out for when looking for your Prince or Princess Charming. Qualities that speak volumes about a person, in a less than flattering way!

Badmouthing. Sarcasm is amusing, for a while and even more so when it’s disguised as humor in the form of a joke about the waitress or a friend. But if all your date’s comments about people are sarcastic and unflattering, it says more about your date than the people he or she is commenting on. Think this through. If your date has nothing positive to say about others what makes you think he or she will talk any differently about you?

Prior relationships. Most of us have a serious relationship (or two or three) in our past. If they ended badly, we likely learned something about ourselves in the process. But people who have only horror stories to share about their previous relationships may not have learned a thing about themselves or their past mistakes. Beware of perennial victims before you become one of the “bad guys”.

Anger that’s out of place. Sure, we all become incredibly angry at times. And if we handle it appropriately it’s usually not a big deal. But be careful of someone who appears to be angry at the world. They likely blame everyone but themselves for their problems and sooner rather than later, you are going to get blamed for something.

Polar Opposites. It’s true that opposites attract, but some differences are just too great to ignore. Big issues about which you are on opposite sides of the fence like religion, whether or not to have children, and drinking and drugs, are relationship killers. You may have fun in the short term, but long term? Not so much.

Dating and internet dating is all about getting to know someone. Figuring out whether that person as a whole “fits” you. Your choosing someone to spend your life with, so choose wisely!
