Standards, Red Flags, and the Toxic Traits We All Ignore

Send us a text

Dating standards aren't being "too picky" – they're essential boundaries that protect our energy and ensure we don't settle for less than we deserve.

• Lowering standards throws off your frequency and alignment
• Basic respect earns loyalty, transparency builds trust, and consistency shows genuineness
• If someone's offended by your standards, it's likely because they don't meet them
• Charm often blinds us to bright red flags we should be noticing
• Love bombing and wanting relationship privileges without labels are major warning signs
• When someone says their "ex was crazy," ask what they did to activate that reaction
• Toxic traits aren't always loud and dramatic – sometimes it's quietly accepting being undervalued
• Stop staying in situations because you're scared of starting over
• Dating should be about conversations and getting to know someone, not expensive outings
• You don't have to settle, shrink or suffer for love – just get clear on what you'll accept
