It's easy to brush it off when she is nice to you; here's how to identify it. 3:22 - Believe in your instincts. They are essential if you feel or see behaviors you don't like, and acknowledging them initially can prevent you from going into the wrong relationship. 4:03 - Trying to settle for less. One of these habits that traps men into the wrong relationship is picking a woman who does not need your standards in fear of never finding love again. 4:58 - Apollonia explains more why settling for less is compromising your happiness.
