How to avoid falling in love too quickly...and getting hurt

Feb 15, 2009 by FN's Trixie Reyna

how_not_to_fall_in_love_too.jpgYou’ve gone out on a few albeit really amazing dates, and you’re beginning to think he’s the one. He has practically all the qualities you’re looking for in a man, and the way he behaves around you, he’s smitten by you, too.

Yet your gut is telling you something’s definitely wrong with the picture because he’s not communicating with you regularly, and he disappears for weeks then reappears with a date proposition like not much time has passed since he last called. And you are bothered by this. What could be going on here?

If you find that you can relate to the above scenario, chances are you’re falling more quickly than you should. Given his inconsistencies, you can’t really be too sure he’s into you just yet; we’d go as far as saying he’s just not that into you.

How do you deal? Here are some tips from dating site eHarmony and Match.com.

Listen to your instincts and pay attention to red flags.
If your gut is telling you something is wrong with your dating scenario, you should pay more attention. You may be swept off your feet by his sweet gestures, but if you don’t feel him investing any emotions, neither should you. People find themselves involved with the wrong partners because they chose to ignore red flags at the beginning, says eHarmony. An example is when your date can’t shut up about their ex. They’re not ready yet and you’d save yourself so much trouble not to waste more time on them.

Remember that actions speak louder than words.
He may say he’s ready to get into a relationship but continues to check out other girls. eHarmony advises screening your potential partners for those whose actions do not match their words, and get them out of your life, pronto. They’re not worth the time you’d probably spend pondering on them.
