Episode notes
Emotional Availability Takes Time
- You cannot know how emotionally available someone is after only meeting them or texting for a short time.
- True availability requires time, intimacy and real experiences to assess.
Wait Until The Relationship Stage Two
- Stop trying to declare someone emotionally available at stage zero or one and instead look for clear incompatibilities.
- Reserve judgments until stage two when the real getting-to-know and intimacy begin.
Early Signs Predict Problems
- Early dating can reveal incompatibility but not full compatibility or availability.
- Ignoring early warning signs often leads to later disappointment when you actually get to know someone.
