What are red flags in the talking stage?

If they're making tons of inappropriate comments, oversharing, or generally pushing emotional intimacy, these are all red flags. Someone who truly wants to get to know you and wants something serious understands familiarity is something you absolutely cannot rush.

The talking stage is a time to assess whether someone is worth going for (or better off letting go). It’s definitely a period with a lot of gray areas and confusion, which is why knowing the warning signs someone may not be a good fit for you is important.

Here are talking stage red flags you should definitely not ignore.

If they act too familiar too quickly.

If you met on a dating app, someone worth talking to should not act too familiar with you too quickly. You’re technically a stranger, a person they didn’t know even existed until they decided to swipe right on you three days prior. If they’re making tons of inappropriate comments, oversharing, or generally pushing emotional intimacy, these are all red flags. Someone who truly wants to get to know you and wants something serious understands familiarity is something you absolutely cannot rush.

If they treat you like a therapist.

Along the same lines as being too comfortable too quickly, if they treat you like a therapist and/or an emotional dumping ground for all of their problems, keep your guard up. When you are first talking with someone, you want to connect over similar interests and values, not over issues.

If they call their exes “crazy.”

How someone looks at their past relationships, and how they discuss those past relationships, will be very telling of their emotional maturity and whether or not they’ve actually moved on from a former partner. If they’re constantly bashing an ex, calling them “crazy,” and taking no accountability for their role in a breakup, this may mean they haven’t fully processed the breakup and might not be emotionally available to start something with you. If instead of asking about your interests, they push aggressively for you to get into their interests. Just no. This is incredibly disrespectful and shows they are self-involved. If they essentially talk at you instead of to you, ask you nothing about your own life, and just expect you to be totally enamored about how interesting they think they are, yawn. Move on. Next. If they randomly fall off the face of the earth for a week and then come back around as if nothing happened. If you’re regularly talking to someone and they go MIA without explanation and then pop back up as if nothing happened, chances are they’re not really looking for anything serious. If this is cool with you, great, but if you’re wanting to find a solid relationship, find someone who actually communicates where they’re at emotionally.

If your intuition’s alarm bells are going off.

If something feels “off” to you, it probably is. If someone is making you uncomfortable, even if you can’t put your finger on it, listen to your gut. Your instincts exist for a reason. Don’t discredit your judgment.

How do I kiss my husband romantically?

Let him know with eye contact that you want his kiss and that he really wants yours. Brush your lips on his gently at first, and then slowly open your mouth. The art of kissing is heightened when you close your eyes when your mouth opens to his.

Kissing Communication

Probably one of the best tips for kissing out there is communication. Everyone kisses differently, and everyone likes different things. So don’t forget to communicate with your man regarding all things kissing-related. This may be somewhat awkward, especially in the beginning of your relationship. But just like sex, if you don’t talk about it, you’ll never know what he likes, what he doesn’t like, what you are doing right, what you are doing wrong, and how you can improve your kissing technique. And don’t be afraid to tell him what you like and dislike about the art of kissing. No one is the perfect kisser, and he should be receptive to your feedback and suggestions. If he’s not, then maybe it is time to move on and find someone else to kiss! Remember that while these are certainly helpful and useful kissing tips, they are not kissing rules—just guidelines. There really is no such thing as one perfect kiss that every couple must conquer. Each woman, man, and couple will define their perfect kiss differently and that can change and also come in many forms. Never feel like you have to do something you don’t want to, whether it makes you uncomfortable or you just don’t enjoy it. Most importantly, have fun! While there is some effort involved in perfecting your kissing skills, it should mostly be an enjoyable activity for both of you. See this related article: Top Tips for Kissable Lips.
