How to Spot a Losing Relationship Before You Get Involved
From the Blog of Practical Tarot a Psychic Advisor,
People who have success in relationships have good instincts concerning their choices in partners. Before you get too involved, your new dating partner will provide you with signs if he or she is not long-term relationship material. Be careful to not base your hopes on your dates "potential" -- what you see is what you are going to get.
Here a few tips to spot a losing relationship right from the get go. If your newest infatuation displays any of these characteristics, you may want to cut your losses and begin looking for a better choice to avoid problems later on.
Your prospective love is having a hard time finding their "path" in life.
Although your love interest is now a fully-grown adult, they have yet to successfully attain or retain a profession or acceptable employment for their age group or their level of education. Any positions they have held have been short-lived, and it is always "someone else's fault" as to why they were let go from their last job.
Your new dating partner is a little "too attentive".
You enjoy and are flattered by the attention you are receiving but he or she is popping up into your world, uninvited, on a way too regular basis. Cute texts, calls and MySpace comments are way too frequent for this stage of dating... Caution: Remember the movie, "Fatal Attraction".
YOU are always paying for the BOTH of you.
You always pay for the two of you to partake in social activities. Your partner may have the funds to go out and do things on their own or with other "platonic" friends, but when the two of you go out on a date, either you go Dutch, or you pay. This is especially unnerving if you are the female in the pair.
YOU provide your partner with a cell phone, car or a place to "crash" because your partner is UNABLE to provide one for themselves.

Your potential partner takes advantage of your good will
Once you have provided your partner with the assistance required to "stabilize," your partner suddenly has quite a lot of social activities that do not include YOU!
If a prospective partner is too quick to commit and too willing to take advantage of assistance and niceties that you offer, you may well be on your way to filing a case with Judge Joe Brown in three or four months.
If you have found yourself with a cute and charming chap or gal who just seems to have a bit of a hard time "getting it together", slow down. Don't offer them too much. Offer assistance in a guidance type of way, but don't give too much. You will soon know if this person is in a temporary slump. Chances for a serious and satisfying relationship are going to be better if you reconnect when their life is on track or if you choose someone now who already has it together and has something to offer you.
