Boundaries are important, but what really constitutes a deal breaker?
. People also reported having deal breakers around mask safety and attending large public gatherings.
Ultimately, only you can decide what counts and what doesn’t. Defining your relationship deal breakers requires thinking through your past relationships as well as what you want from future relationships, and deciding what you are and aren’t willing to compromise on. “It’s not always possible to know what all of your deal breakers are in advance, because sometimes we need a bit of practice and experience dating to figure out what we do—and don’t—want,” Dr. Lehmiller says.
With that said, everyone is entitled to defining their own deal breakers in their own way. What matters most is that you’re very clear about the parameters, Francis says. She suggests defining your deal breakers through the following exercise: Recognize what you want. Own it. Advocate for it. For instance, maybe you value presence and quality time in a relationship, and you hate when someone is always buried in their phone on a date.
As Dennis notes, an in-person talk about deal breakers gives you the opportunity to notice body language in a way a text or in-app message wouldn’t. Luckily, the beginning stage of a relationship is rife with opportunities to bring up deal breakers. When you’re just starting to date someone, you’re trying to get to know them. So the deal breaker conversation doesn’t have to be super serious.
