Ignoring your inner voice.

If you’re wondering whether you’ve got enough in common, are truly attracted or have chemistry, most likely, this is a sign that you and your partner aren’t compatible. Be careful not to discount red flags and doubts just because it feels so good to be in the throes of passion. You may waste time in a sub-par relationship trying to make something work that just won’t.

Worrying about exclusivity and commitment.

It is common at the beginning of a relationship for people to be dating multiple partners. Online profiles are not shut down until a person knows that he or she wants to be exclusive. Until committed, Facebook, Instagram and Snapchat accounts might be frequented by old flames or friends with benefits (and maybe even after you’re Facebook-official). Assume that the person you’re going out with is seeing others. Try and be easygoing about needing exclusivity or initiating a commitment discussion too early. Manage your anxiety and do your best to cope with uncertainty while you are seeing where this goes.

Whether you’ve just hooked up or you’re a few dates in, recognize that the beginnings of a relationship aren’t easy. Making snap judgments about a person or fantasizing wildly about walking down the aisle are normal, but may not help you if you act on them.

Keep the above tips in mind and try to stay cool about your feelings. Remember, you are just getting to know each other and not everyone is going to be a perfect match. That’s why it’s so special when you find “the one.”
