Some definate red flags are when you hear

You're my reason for living
I never knew happiness till you came along
I didn't want to know God before you

Also when more " words" are thrown you're way then you know what to do with? Won't be long
Before you're chasing those rabbits into holes ..

Unbalanced people are... well... unbalanced. Later comes the I hate yous, you're the reason for all my problems, etc... It's a thin line between love and hate with unbalanced people.

I have found knowing the fruits of the spirit and gods character, are the saving graces God gives us to stay out of these messes..
knowing what Jesus image is to be like coming out of others is also a key .. since coming to know God , it's easy to sift through all the words quicker ... ". Recognizing what god is not has helped me to determine "who it is" I'm dealing with "

What's coming out of someone is either " of God " or not..

A Christian girl should only date Christian guys, at least then you know he ain't just lookin' for sex
I completely understand what you mean, Arwen. I know there are not any guarantees that Christian men will be this way, but I have yet to meet a non-christian man who doesn't try to see where he can go with me. That is exactly why I am determined to only go out with a man who has the same standards/morals as I do. Obviously nothing is a guarantee.

They offer Floral Arranging majors in university these days!?! I must tell Descyple, he's been trying to perfect the bouquet he has been planning on sending Chrissy
Wait you mean to tell me he told you about it BEFORE even giving it to me? That man stinks at keeping a secret.

Just a fun fact, wanting to be a florist is a question on a personality test (the MMPI II) is an indicator of a couple personality disorders. :D

I don't have to pay any of you for this psychiatric evaluation of my mental state, do I???

Because if I do have to pay, I'm afraid I won't be able to afford Chrissy's bouquet of flowers!!!

As a matter of speaking, an evaluation really isn't necessary in this case. :rolleyes: :p

The disorders are Narcissistic, Borderline, and Histrionic. Although I wouldn't be surprised about a dependent. To be so attached to someone that you lose yourself is a rather narcissistic thing to do. I used to be a psych student too, but I've decided to go into nursing instead.

You're a psych student? I majored in Psychology (well, double major psychology/sociology). :D It's interesting, the various reactions that I get when people find that out...

The last woman I dated was getting her masters in psychology.

"I know this thread was intended for discussion of 'Manipulative Baloney'; however, I seems that it has also served well for demonstrating it, too!" :eek: :p ;) (HAHA - JK)
