ties, such issues may be too much of an obstacle to moving forward in a dating relationship towards marriage. Beware of class distinctions. Sometimes economic and
social differences can also take their toll on a new love relationship. There is a certain level of difference that most people can accommodate. However, if there are large and clear differences here, a rift may begin to take hold and widen. Of course, in movies like Pretty Woman, people of different classes may spark interesting romances that are successful. Still, in real life, social and economic differences have a largely negative influence on long-term success with love. Take careful note of major scheduling conflicts.
Sometimes I hear women complain that the man they are dating is always working. Maybe he owns his own business and works an 80 to 90 hour work-week. This type of man does not leave much room in his schedule for a full-time love relationship. Another common situation is when the man works the graveyard shift (midnight to 8 A.M.) and the woman works a typical eight-to-five shift. If you’re a woman who wants to spend a lot of time with your man, then these kinds of love situations are going to be difficult and stressful for you. Watch out for unfair competition. Sometimes a woman
will have to compete with an almost perfect mother, an adorable sister, a gorgeous ex-girlfriend, or a loyal ex-wife for a man’s affection. While this special person may not even be directly related to his current love life, the comparisons of her personal strengths may be matched up unfairly against any new woman who comes along. 100
