MANY couples will be preparing to celebrate Valentine’s Day – but you may need to pay close attention to what your partner has in mind.
Confidence and Mindset Coach Hattie MacAndrews has revealed there are some date plans that could be seen as red flags.
Speaking to Fabulous, Hattie said: “There’s no avoiding the run up to Valentine’s Day – either your favourite day of the year in which you and your loved one write soppy cards and overpriced chocolates, or it might as well be doomsday as you spend another year feeling left out of a party you never wanted to go to.
“Even worse, you’re in a new relationship and his ideas on how to spend the day with you have sparked some serious red flags.
“We all know it’s pointless to ignore a red flag, as tempting as it might be in exchange for a red rose this year.”
Hattie revealed the dates that could be a red flag, so if your partner has any of the following dates planned, you may wish to rethink…
Unless it happens to be your local too, trekking across town to meet him on his doorstep is incredibly un-romantic, for everyone involved.
It shows minimal effort on his behalf, but if you’re up for the pub, the least he can do is meet you in the middle.
If he’s checked you’re free, but wont commit to making a plan – this is a huge red flag.
Especially if you’re early on in the dating stage, it’s more than likely he’s using it as a way to check you’re not seeing anyone else, but doesn’t actually want to commit to spending Valentine’s day with you.
If he’s still saying he will let you know, he almost definitely won’t let you know.
Don’t get your hopes up – you’re being breadcrumbed.
Think a jam-packed itinerary, or whistle-stop tour of your favourite bars, cocktails and restaurant.
What counts as OTT? I’ll leave that up to your discretion.
If he’s planned something way over the top, he’s either planning on proposing, or you’re being love-bombed.
So it looks like you’ll either be married or dumped by the summer.
Without wishing to be a sceptic, having your very first date on Valentine’s Day can be a huge red flag – especially if you’ve never met them, or they are from a dating app.
Even more so, wanting to ‘hang’ at yours or let him cook for you is also an indication that you should be doing a runner.
He’s probably bored, lonely and horny, and looking to fill his Monday evening by not being alone.
I’m not sure this really constitutes as a ‘date’, but the dating world never ceases to amaze.
If you’re being offered a night with the lads after football practice as a very weak excuse for a date, run for the hills.
This way he will claim that he wanted to spend time with you, but already had plans with the boys.
It will not get better from this point.
It’s not a no, but it’s definitely not the response you were hoping for.
The lack of enthusiasm is probably indicative of a luke-warm relationship, and while he’s semi-committing to seeing you, he’s not jumping for joy at the thought of spending Valentine’s Day with you.
If you’ve been married for 20 years, you can let him off the hook.
If this relationship is new and sparky? Looks like that spark is gone.
Meanwhile, we shared how you can name a bin after your ex for Valentine’s Day and it’s totally free.
Plus we recently revealed a woman discovered her cheating boyfriend sent intimate texts to his lover while they were on month-long holiday.
And a 39-year-old woman was called ‘crazy’ for wanting a baby with her ex as she’s ‘running out of time’.
