The early season of dating can feel exciting. But it's also where people quietly tell you who they are. Not always in obvious ways. Sometimes it's in small statements that are easy to overlook… or reinterpret. "I'm not looking for anything serious." "I think I'm in love with you already." "I just have a hard time trusting people…" As the amazing drmayaangelou famously said, "When someone shows you who they are, believe them." Sometimes someone is also telling you who they are…and it's worth listening to. A healthy relationship doesn't feel confusing or extreme. It builds steadily. Intentions are clear. Communication is clean. You don't have to judge anyone for where they are. But you do get to decide what you stay available for. Which one of these have you ignored before? #drlauraberman #DatingAdvice #RelationshipAwareness
