Relationship coaches Mario P. Cloutier and Diane Sawaya Cloutier offer great pointers for people who are newly single and have started to date again. They provide a short list of four rules to keep in mind in the early period of dating. They ask people:
1) To have zero tolerance for lies and to be wary of people who lie within the first few months of dating;
2) To have clear communication about the expectations, hopes and limitations of the relationship;
3) To have meetings with the important people in the other’s life to have deeper understanding of the other; and,
4) To not rush into intimacy before one is emotionally ready.
