Try to be aware of times you might be unconsciously filling in the blanks about someone. This can happen when you meet someone to whom you’re very attracted, and with whom there is tons of instant chemistry. Your brain will want to complete the whole picture of who they are, filling in details that make you happy, because you want to be compatible with this person so badly.

If you notice yourself making an assumption about them, step back. Remind yourself you do not actually know that piece of information yet and still have a lot to learn about them. Resist the urge to paint the whole picture of someone in advance, in order to force compatibility. Let the picture reveal itself.
