The idea is that you get into a relationship because you like or love the person you're with and you want to be in one. That's not true for everybody, though. Sometimes, people end up in relationships just because they don't want to be alone. Sometimes, they force themselves into one even though it's not right. Sometimes, things seem really great at first, but then they start to realize that they're not really happy at all. The point is, there are lots of reasons why someone might discover that they don't dig their new relationship. These are some of the biggest warning signs.
