Beware red flags!

One of the things that us love addicts thrive on is to move very quickly when starting a new relationship. If our partner seems to share this impatience then we think that it's a sign that we have met our soulmate and God has given his official thumbs up to this union blessed by destiny and fate. Even better then when our partner utters words that are like music to our ears. These words could include: "I have never felt this way about anybody before", "We are perfect for each other", "This is the best sex I ever had", and my personal favorite "In the future, after we're married....insert whatever line of bullshit you want here." The last one that I fell pretty hard for happened a very short time after I met my most recent qualifier. He told me, "I could so easily fall in love with you". My insides melted and I was swept away. (Incidentally, we were having a conversation about how much I love to give blowjobs but whatever.)
My point to all of what I have written so far is this: people who are love addicts are attracted to a specific type of person that holds a special magnetism for them. Usually, but not always, a love addict's "perfect" partner happens to be none other than your friendly, neighborhood narcissist. I will continue with this in tomorrow's post. Stay tuned....
