There are so many aspects to the dating game. It starts off with a small wish like to have someone to share your little joys and sadness with, someone on whom you can rely without receiving any judgmental responses.

This wish leads to the search for suitable prospective dating partners with in-depth research. This further leads to making the best choice among the various available ones.

This further paves the way for taking precautions while dating and ultimately avoiding the concealed traps which you are totally oblivious to as you are on a high with the dating game. Here are some free dating traps that you must avoid. Recognize these signs and have fun playing the dating game.

Suppressing your true desires
Many of you must have joined this dating game just for some fun and are not actually looking out for any serious relationships. This is the idea you form and convey to others.

But this is merely camouflaging your true feelings by saying that you do not want any long term commitments, which you actually do. This is one of the free dating traps that you must avoid to stop causing you more damage than you contemplate.

Donning the compassionate angels mantle
This is one of the free dating traps that you must avoid to make you feel like an angel sent to rescue the hapless mortal.

You come across someone who has had a heart break or who life is in smithereens due to the unending struggles. In such a scenario your extremely soft heart melts and you take the responsibility of bringing some joy and love into this persons life.

Believing in fairytale romances
Almost all of you are victims to some degree of this free dating trap that you must avoid. You are supposedly one of the dreamers who have been fed too much of fairytale doses misleading you to think that there is out there someone meant only for you and you do not have to do anything to get your partner. You are destined to meet this partner of yours someday somehow. Wake up!

Fear of being alone due to less numbers
Sometimes you may not find too many members who share the same thoughts as you or who are on the same compatibility level as you.

So you go ahead and compromise by choosing whatever is in front of you. Your relationship is doomed if you do this. How long will you be able to sustain your relationship based on compromises?

Impatience is not a virtue
Some of you mistake the ongoing chemistry and the immediate sparks to be a sign of compatibility and rush into relationships, either sexual or long term commitments. Give yourself time. Test your relationships against the oncoming obstacles. This is another free dating trap that you must avoid.
