Dating rules and advice can change with the passing of time.

(Hence, I Kissed Dating Goodbye in 1990 vs True Love Dates in 2018- which is $1.99 on Kindle right now for all you bargain hunters out there  )

But there are a few concepts about dating and relationships that won’t change no matter what’s going on in our culture.

Today’s caller is looking for some dating advice. She’s wondering how to know if she’s giving a relationship enough time to play out, or if she’s ending the relationships too early.

THE THREE DATING RULES YOU NEED

In today’s episode, I’m going to talk her through some basic dating rules using the red, green, and yellow flag concept.

The greens are the things you need in a a relationship – things you’re on the lookout for.

The yellows are your preferences, or even the unknowns  – things that will probably end up either in the red, or the green category with time.

And the reds are the things you’ll never, ever, settle for – things that signify it’s time to STOP this relationship.

You’ve got to understand and know your reds, greens, and yellows in order to have a chance at a successful dating relationship. You need to get good at recognizing what works, from what doesn’t. Because you’ve have to know when to keep moving forward in a relationship, and when to walk away.
