Infatuation can be a beautiful thing:  Those butterflies flutter whenever he says your name and every song on the radio represents the greatest affair of all time that is now your love life.  While your heart is bursting with joy, your brain is taking a big hit.  Many scientists believe that the part of the brain responsible for critical thinking temporarily turns off when you start to fall for someone.  If you’re considering combining finances or co-signing for big purchases that could possibly affect your credit before you even know his zodiac sign, think about this:  If he’s willing to ask a stranger to help finance his lifestyle, why aren’t friends or family he’s already close with willing to do so?  Those first few months can reveal many things about the ones to come.  If he avoids talking about his sexual history, makes unreasonable requests as far as money, and seems in a rush to start the rest of his life with you, you might want to hit the brake.
