Avoiding Dating Nightmares: A Three-Part Series

If you are anything like me, you have probably had — or at least heard about — your share of dating nightmares! It is ironic that we justify, make excuses for and gloss over bad behavior from a date when we would not accept the same treatment from someone else. I developed healthy self-esteem, learned to trust my gut feelings and establish and enforce personal boundaries only after I was raped on a date, and years later, entered into a domestic violence relationship. Read on if you’d like to be safer than I was and avoid dating nightmares! Here are my top three tips for women who are dating:

Part 1: Healthy Self-Esteem

Part 2: Trust Your Gut Feelings

Part 3: Personal Boundaries
