A nervous man is not the same as an unavailable man.A man who talks too much about himself on date two is not the same as a man who can't show up for you. A man who takes time to ask the right questions is not the same as a man who never will. Somewhere along the way, a lot of us stopped telling the difference between a red flag and a human being.Real standards protect you. But sometimes what we call standards is actually a wall, and it's costing us the very thing we say we want.Modern dating has taught us to spot every red flag fast.
