Some signal incompatibility. Others signal something much darker.
In this episode, I’m breaking down the first three of my Top Five Dark Red Flags in Early Dating - the traits that, in my clinical experience, rarely improve with time and often predict controlling or deeply problematic relationship dynamics.
If you’ve ever found yourself:
Ignoring your gut
Giving someone “the benefit of the doubt”
Talking yourself out of discomfort
Wanting to be the easygoing, understanding one
This episode is for you.
I explore:
Why people-pleasing schemas can keep you in situations you already know aren’t right
How subtle pushiness can signal future control
Why arrogance is one of the most dangerous personality traits to overlook
The difference between confidence and entitlement
How love bombing can be used strategically
What “future mirroring” is and why it hooks so many intelligent women
I also explain why what you feel in your body matters - and how to recognise when someone is testing your compliance rather than building real connection.
This is not about demonising people. It’s about helping you see clearly.
