Senior Dating Tips: Should Your Partner Be Flagged Or Forgiven?

You have the perfect partner, he's fun and he has a great personality. But relationship wise, is he also just as great? Then you learn about his past and it just sends red flags in your brain. Some things are worth forgetting, while others are just, let's just say - disturbing. So how do you know if he is worth keeping or if he's just playing?

Here are some advice on whether they need to be forgiven or need to be flagged.

1. They have cheated before.

Tricky, tricky. Well, when it comes down to it, cheating is like a cry for someone who is not happy with their present relationship- but is just too chickenhearted to end it. Well, there are certain issues that need to be taken in hand. If they have faltered mainly due to their partner or they have done it but made great lengths to make it up- it's worth giving it a go. If you find him trying to keep your relationship together, being honest and not hide anything from you then it's a good sign. However, if you find him to be a repeat offender then back off. If you see him always looking at other women, see him sneaking out or always giving you suspicious excuses then that's already a different picture. Stay away from his type.

2. They have never gotten a relationship that lasted long term.

If you find that your partner has had a long string of short term flings, then be wise enough to question it. Why are most of his relationships like that? Do they get bored quickly? Are they not ready to commit? Is it all just for fun? If you are looking for a fling then great! You both fit well together. But if you are looking for someone to have a long term relationship with then tread these grounds carefully. Don't get caught going in too deep.

3. They have just ended a long term relationship.

Well, you can see that he's quite a keeper since he's had a long term relationship. It's not really a dumpable offense. But when it comes to it, you have to put yourself first. Get ready for the blaring of the alarm bells and be cautious. If he seems to be always angry, hurt and overly sensitive about relationships and talking about the "ex" then steer clear. You need to give them some space and time to totally get over their ex and their emotions for them if they can. Understand that they have to make peace with themselves before they can ever start dating.

4. They have a record for an adventurous past.

Now, you walk in the bar and it seems all the ladies flock to him- what's up with that right? Now you walk down the street and you find strippers following him around- downright creepy. Then you learn about his crazy picks in relationship, women, partying, choice of friends and dating. Woot! Everything that's devious and crazy comes to the list. They have all done it from sexual deviancy to indulgent partying till the next full moon! You get entertained by his stories of all his "gallant" misadventures and he seems really interesting. Yes, they are great, the light and life of the party but that doesn't mean they'd be a great light and life in a relationship.

Check your partner, this will do you some good- and for your sanity. So is your partner worth the trouble? Is he worth keeping or just having him withing a 15 foot radius send up alarms all over your brain? Well, use your intuition and commons sense. Be the one to lead, don't let him lead you on.
