Flame Out, Crumbs & Not-Perfect-I’ll-Pass Deadly Dating Patterns & What To Do About Them

by Dr. Diana Kirschner on November 19, 2009

Deadly Dating Patterns are ways of dating that simply do not serve you–habitual, self-sabotaging patterns that do not get you the love you really want.  Three common ones are “The Flame Out,” “Crumbs,” and “Not-Perfect-I’ll Pass.”  In the Flame Out you fall in too deep and too soon with a new hottie–it’s all great…that is until the whole thing goes up in flames and you are all alone again.  In the Crumbs pattern you settle for much less than you deserve–maybe the person is married and seeing you on the side, maybe it is just an on-again off-again thing where he or she just sees you at their convenience.  But it sure doesn’t make you very happy!  And in the Not-Perfect-I’ll-Pass you are picky, picky, picky and find the fatal flaw in every potential partner.  And since no one is perfect, you wind up alone again.  This video addresses all three of these Deadly Dating Patterns and what to do about them!
