What are the signature techniques Flora Dunn uses to identify time-wasters in relationships?

Flora here. breaks spotting time‑wasters into a few signature moves you can use fast, usually within 30 days:

• Tight 30‑day window: Give it a month max to see who they really are. Do not emotionally invest deeply until their patterns are clear.
• Pattern over promises: Ignore big talk. Watch consistency with money, time, communication, and how they handle stress or inconvenience.
• Character filters: Notice if they’re responsible vs reckless, driven vs lazy, cheap vs generous, clingy vs secure, silly vs downright foolish.
• Boundary “micro‑tests”: Hold your standards (pace, sex, money, access to you). Time‑wasters push, guilt‑trip, or vanish when you say no.
• Reputation radar: Pay attention to how they talk about exes, friends, and how others react to their name. Drama usually is not random.

What situations are you most worried about—emotional players, financial users, or people wasting your time with no intention of commitment?
