Girl, Take it Easy! 9 Impulsive Moves That Could Ruin a Relationship

3. Putting All Your Eggs in One Basket

When you meet a great guy, it can actually be a bit surprising and refreshing – especially if you feel the dating pickins are slim. So it’s understandable to want to “lock him down” and cut yourself off from meeting any other guys…even if you’ve only been seeing the new guy for a week. Don’t put all your eggs in one basket too soon. It’s okay to date a few guys at a time, even if you’re feeling one more than the other. Many times, some women start practicing saying her first name with his last name or envisioning what their future children will look like after only three dates; meanwhile, he’s been on three dates with three other women while dating you. Until you both have a discussion about exclusivity and a monogamous commitment, don’t rule out meeting and dating other men until you’re sure you’re both in it 100 percent. Otherwise, you could find yourself the odd woman out if he’s determined that you’re not the one and you’re left with no prospects in sight. Date and have fun!
