Building and maintaining a relationship requires plenty of compromises, so if you can’t be flexible in the beginning stages of dating, how are you supposed to make it to…living with a partner? Or getting married? Or having children!? If you’re someone who is set on having things your way, you’re going to have a very hard time finding a relationship. Correction: you’re going to have a hard time finding a healthy relationship. You might find a relationship with a totally spineless man who is willing to bend to your every whim, let you walk all over him, and enable your emotionally abusive behavior. But you won’t find a man who respects himself (hint: those are the ones you want). How you approach dating says everything about how you’d approach a relationship. Take a long, hard look at your actions: are you inflexible when it comes to dating?

You won’t go if parking is difficult

If it’s a first date, you won’t approve of the restaurant unless parking is easy. Should you need to park a few blocks away and walk, or pay for parking, you aren’t going. If you’re already at the sleepover stage, you won’t go to his place after a certain hour when it’s hard to find street parking.
