Dan Rosenfeld’s dating coach emphasizes 8 types of people you encounter before meeting one, revealing the general dating models and lessons.
Before finding “single”, you probably face multiple memorable (and sometimes catastrophic) characters along the way. From the pedestrian red flag to the “perfect paper”, we all had an honest fate of the lovers – throwing a few frogs before finding the true business.

Dating coach and psychologist Dan Rosenfeld recently went to Instagram to share eight types of people you probably meet before the meeting. Let’s look at it. (Also Read: Name this to give up or not? 5 questions you need to ask yourself before you finish your relationship )
1. Almost
What does it look like:
- The correct person, the wrong time.
- It feels fate … Until life interferes.
- This leaves you curious: “What to do?” Whenever you hear their favorite song.
Lesson:
The terms are important, but the necessary person does not hope for justification.
2. Going the red flag
What does it look like:
- Hot and cold.
- More mixed signals than bad WI -FI connection.
- Keeps you clutch with enough attention.
Lesson:
Love should not feel an emotional obstacle course.
3. Situations-
What does it look like:
- You behave like a couple … but without labels.
- Vibrations are great, but there is no clarity.
- One of you is catching up with feelings … And it’s not mutually.
Lesson:
If you have to guess where you are standing, you are probably standing alone.
4. The love bomber
What does it look like:
- Talk about your future together after just two dates.
- The texts of “good morning, beautiful” before your alarm will even go out.
- Feels too good to be true … and that’s it.
Lesson:
True love is built over time. When they are in a hurry as a distinctive movie, they can hurry as fast.
5. The rebound
What does it look like:
- They enter your life conveniently immediately after the breakup.
- You think you are over the former … Until you catch yourself comparing.
- It’s fun, it’s distracting, but at heart, you know it’s temporarily.
Lesson:
You can’t cure the breakdown using anyone else as a bandit.
6. The serial monogomist
What does it look like:
- Was not lonely of high school.
- Goes from one attitude to the following unconditionally.
- Makes you feel special … Until you understand that you just fill the space between the former and next.
Lesson:
If they always need a relationship, they may not know who they are.
7. “Ideal on paper”
What does it look like:
- Checking each box: good job, good look, good on paper …
- But something is felt – there is no chemistry, no spark.
- You try to convince yourself that they are suitable for you … but your heart is not in it.
Lesson:
The relationship is not just logical. The right person feels at home.
8. Peter Peng
What does it look like:
- A fun, spontaneous, great energy … But allergic to responsibility.
- Talking to a big game about dreams, but really never works for them.
- Thinks that “planning forward” means a solution when they are free.
Lesson:
Emotional maturity is sexy. If they do not grow, they are not going anywhere.
