False advertising

Even though you might like that person you are talking to online, until you have met, and spent time together it is a good idea to take time to find out what they are looking for.

Even if you might feel connected to that handsome fella you had two dates with, wait until you have spent 20 or 30 more dates, to confirm a healthy connection.

Even when you might feel that the man who is offering you a lift daily or giving you money is a gent, you might need to find out if he is unattached. And also take time to find out if he is a candidate for a healthy relationship.

You might like the toned young lady you are talking to, but you need to observe her character over time.

It takes quality time to get to match the soft spoken woman with soft character before you feel feel drawn to without knowing her well.

Wait before you tell your friends about how great someone you are only talking to is, as if you are already in a relationship. Or someone you have only been out with only a few times.

Before a relationship is discussed, do not assume that you are in one. The other person might not want a committed relationship. Or they might not want one with you.

If someone sounds good, that does not mean they are good or that they are good for you!

If a relationship is unhealthy, do not keep trying too hard to fit in, because people have told you that you look good together. What people say or what you look like together does not mean you are good together.

Wanting something does not mean you need to have it.

Normalise spending time talking to suitors online or on real life before basing your decision to commit quickly becase someone sounds good, looks good or feels good in a short time.

Normalise enjoying the moment and waiting until an exclusivity conversation before deciding you are exclusive.

Normalise waiting to have a conversation to confirm relationship status before putting up an online status.

Normalise studying character before you commit to appearances, things or a voice.
