What is the definitive guide to avoiding settling in relationships according to Flora Dunn?

Here is Flora’s core, no-settling guide distilled from her work:

• Know your non‑negotiables: Define your values, relationship goals, and dealbreakers in advance so chemistry cannot talk you out of them.
• Date with standards, not fear: Stop giving your time to “maybes” just because you are lonely or worried no one better will come.
• Ask real questions early: Clarify commitment, emotional availability, lifestyle, and integrity on the first few dates.
• Believe your red flags: Inconsistency, poor communication, and disrespect do not “get better with time.”
• Choose alignment, not potential: Build with someone whose current behavior matches the partner you want, not a fantasy of who they might be.

Which of these feels hardest for you to put into practice right now?
