8.You don’t trust your instincts.
According to Clinical psychologist Ramani Durvasula, MD, when it comes to dating, it’s very important to always trust your instincts. In fact, a lot of dating mistakes begin by not trusting your instincts early on, Durvasula added.
Especially after reaching a certain age, you probably have a lot of experience from your previous relationships, so it’s even more important to trust your instincts. At the same time, when you learn to trust your gut, you’ll make a lot of decisions based on shared feelings, mutual values, and you’ll also start to look outside your type. Types will only limit your chances of finding someone special, Durvasula added.
