134. My Top 5 Dark Red Flags in Dating (Part 2)
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In Part 2 of this series, I continue unpacking the darker red flags that often show up early in dating – the ones that are easy to dismiss but costly to ignore.
These are not minor quirks. They are patterns that predict future control, manipulation, blame-shifting, entitlement and emotional instability.
In this episode, I explore:
- What I call “future mirroring” – a subtle form of love bombing designed to accelerate closeness
- The chronic victim stance and how trauma dumping can be used as manipulation
- Why repeated stories of being “wrongly accused” deserve careful attention
- Exaggerated reactions to frustration, shame or not getting their way
- How to recognise blame shifting early
- Why high chemistry without character is not compatibility
- How to strengthen your intuitive muscle and trust your internal data
If you’ve ever felt confused, slightly uneasy or pressured in early dating but talked yourself out of it – this episode is for you.
I also share details about the upcoming round of Love Wisely, beginning April 16, and how you can join the priority list.
