A nervous man is not the same as an unavailable man.
A man who talks too much about himself on date two is not the same as a man who can't show up for you. A man who takes time to ask the right questions is not the same as a man who never will. Somewhere along the way, a lot of us stopped telling the difference between a red flag and a human being.
Real standards protect you. But sometimes what we call standards is actually a wall, and it's costing us the very thing we say we want.
Modern dating has taught us to spot every red flag fast. What it hasn't taught us is how to tell a red flag apart from a man who's simply still learning you. This episode is about that gap, and what it might be costing you.
