Here are some of the most common red flag behaviors I see in dating and relationships. Let’s be honest, most “red flags” aren’t about bad people. They’re about patterns. When someone behaves in a way that consistently impacts your emotional well-being, that’s a signal. Not always intentional. But still important. And here’s the part we don’t talk about enough: 👉 It’s not just about spotting red flags in others 👉 It’s about understanding what we tolerate, miss, or normalize Awareness is where everything starts. But real change takes patience—with yourself and with others. Which of these red flags do you find the hardest to navigate?

Date and Time: Tuesday, March 10th @ 6 PM EDT. Hi everyone, A lot of the patterns we experience in dating after 50 aren’t about bad luck, the apps, or even meeting the wrong people. They’re often driven by something deeper: our attachment wiring. Attachment style shapes things like: • how safe love feels • how we react when someone pulls away • who we’re drawn to • and what happens when a relationship starts to get emotionally real These patterns aren’t personality flaws. They’re old survival strategies. Once you understand them, you can begin changing them. In our next Meetup session tomorrow - March 10th at 6 PM EDT, we’ll explore: Attachment Styles & Saboteur Patterns: How Your Old Wiring Affects New Love We’ll cover: • The 4 attachment styles (secure, anxious, avoidant, and disorganized) • How they show up on dates and in relationships • The Saboteur patterns that show up depending on our attachment style • How to begin shifting toward a secure, grounded connection Most importantly, we’ll discuss how to stop repeating the same patterns and start building relationships that feel calmer, healthier, and more mutually beneficial. If this sounds like something you want to explore with us, I’d love for you to join. Register here to get the Zoom link. Warmly, Dessi
