5 Spooky Signals the Universe Sends You When You’re Dating the Wrong Person

Dating today sucks.

It’s the big elephant in the room; we all know it.

If you’re single at my age (43), you don’t go on dates; you go to a police interrogation.

I’m not mad about it.

You gotta figure out if your potential partner is a Dexter Morgan dressed up as the Dalai Lama.

But sometimes, people are so good at hiding their demons that the universe intervenes.

Here are some signs the universe (or your subconscious) sends when something’s rotten in Denmark, but you’re not picking up on it.

#1. Notifications

You meet someone who claims they’re all-in when they fall in love. But the second there’s a ping, they’re glued to their phone.

They don’t have to be head over heels immediately, but they should at least care about the conversation. About you.

If every notification bumps you to the back burner, it’s not looking good (unless they’ve got kids, left them with someone, and told you upfront).

Attention is respect.
