That your current relationship isn�t what you had dreamed for yourself? If so, then these are probably feelings you want to explore further. Here are eight signs that you are dating the wrong person.
You�re not Happy
This is a great place to start. Someone who is dating the right person consistently enjoys the relationship and feels a general sense of happiness. We�re not saying that they wouldn�t argue or be upset with their partner occasionally; even the healthiest couples do that.
You Don�t Feel Good about Yourself
In addition to feeling happy, a person in a good relationship usually has a positive self esteem. Sure, they will have doubts and insecurities, and they may even deal with some bigger questions about themselves. But the time they spend with their partner will make them feel better about themselves, not worse.
The People you Trust Urge you to Get Out
If the people you trust and are closest to feel that you�ve found a good catch and therefore encourage the relationship, that�s a good sign that you two may belong together. On the other hand, if the people who love you the most are begging you to get away from someone, then that person�s probably not the one for you. Of course, sometimes your friends and family may choose someone for you who isn�t a great match.
You Find yourself Constantly Thinking about Someone Else
It�s not always the case that a person is wrong because of some sort of character flaw or personal defect. Sometimes, the problem is simply that the person isn�t someone else.
You Find yourself Denying Facts you know to be True
This is the old �river in Egypt� problem�you�re swimming in �de Nile.� And it can happen to all of us. We know something is true, but we just can�t bring ourselves to see it or admit it. Maybe you don�t want to believe something negative about your partner, or you want to ignore the fact that all you two ever do is argue when you�re together.
The Cons of Staying Together Outweigh the Pros
A cost-benefit analysis can be helpful in situations other than at the office. Sit down for a few minutes and write down the advantages of continuing to date the person you are with. Then list the disadvantages.
Your Instincts are Saying get Out
As a general rule, voices inside you are there for a reason, and they ought to be listened to. Sometimes an inner voice may tell us that we�ve found our soul mate, or simply that we should continue to pursue a relationship until we discover how fulfilling it can be.
You Already Know the Truth
It might be the case that at this point, you really don�t know whether you are dating the wrong person. If so, then you may want to continue the relationship for a while longer so you two can explore whether you should be together.
