We all have certain ideas about what a happy, healthy relationship should look like. Many of those ideas come from what we see on TV and social media and by watching our friends’ and family members’ relationships.

Dating CoachI always say that our time is so valuable, and if you don't see a future with that person, then it might be worth considering breaking up. By being in a relationship with someone who's not the right one, you're taking the chance of missing out on the person that is right for you. Do they make you a better person? Do they make you happy? Do they make you stronger? Do they bring something amazing to the table for you? If the answer is no to these questions, then that might be a sign that it's time to break up. - QuestionHow do you know if someone is in love with you?Cher GopmanCher Gopman is the Founder of NYC Wingwoman LLC, a date coaching service based in New York City.

Dating CoachYou know someone is in love with you by how they treat you, how they look at you, and how they talk about you. Are they listening to you when you tell them “I have an important day coming up” or “I have a big meeting”? Are they calling to see how that meeting went? If they know that you love a certain meal, are they making it for you? Are they doing the little things that are important to you? Are they being very caring for you? When they're with you, are they very affectionate? People show affection in different ways, whether it be through hugs or doing things for you, there are many different ways, but are they showing you the things that are important to you? Are they really stepping up to the plate and being there for you, and not looking for the next best thing, but really focused on you? Those are all signs that they may be in love with you.
