Most of us will have at least one, if not a few, significant relationships during our lifetime. Our first intimate encounters may be more difficult or challenging because we're new to the experience of forming an intimate bond with another person, and may not really know what we’re doing and what to expect. But time and experience should help us navigate through future relationships in a much better way. Watch for red flags, indicators that something needs to be questioned or otherwise validated. Often these are clues that something may be trouble in the future.
