David Wygant Blog gives advice regarding dating and relationships. On Sunday he had a good post which looks at several warning signs that may point to someone being untruthful or hiding something major in a relationship. More often than not these types of problems arise with people in long distance relationship where you have to rely on electronic communication like email and the phone. It is a lot easier for people to mislead you when you are not meeting face to face. For the most part these signs deal with someone who has been in a relationship for at least a few months. Here is a summary of David's 5 warning signs:

  1. Your partner provides limited information. The person likes to discuss only certain aspects of his or her life.
  2. You are never invited to their home.
  3. Key information is missing. As an example David mentions if you have been dating for a while and you still don't know how the person is financially.
    • Another thing I would add here would be things like phone numbers. Do you only have the persons cell number and not their home phone number? Is there a reason for this and does it make sense?
  4. You have not met friends or family.
  5. Inconsistent Information.
