7. You let your fantasy blind you.
Ah, this one is a killer for us romantics. You meet the “most gorgeous” and “charming” man, and he’s “everything you’ve ever wanted,” with a Spanish accent to boot (No? Just me?). Before you know it, you’re dreaming about dancing barefoot in Ibiza, overlooking the fact that his actions aren’t exactly in line with his words.
It’s so easy to fall in love with the idea of love itself, forgetting that in order to have a real, respectful and lasting relationship, there needs to be a whole lot more than chemistry, attraction and desire. Make sure those values are in line, you’re looking in the same direction, and that movement in your stomach is butterflies and not anxiety.
