The first date often feels exciting — sparks flying, butterflies in your stomach, and the thrill of meeting someone new. But not all attraction is created equal. Sometimes what feels like chemistry is actually a red flag in disguise. Knowing how to identify healthy vs. unhealthy attraction early on can save you time, energy, and heartache.

Attachment styles are patterns of how we connect with others, shaped by our early relationships — especially with parents or caregivers. These patterns influence how we trust, seek closeness, and respond to intimacy and conflict in relationships throughout our lives.


Your attachment style doesn’t just shape your relationships — it also influences how you show up at work, pursue goals, and handle challenges.
