There are numerous situations that can occur in a relationship that can indicate a mismatch. It may not be that either person is a bad dating partner, but together, the relationship is doomed.
In other cases, one person in the relationship may have significant issues that become apparent early on. What should you look for to know when it's time to move on?
Top signs you're mismatched and in a doomed relationship
- You've been single for a while and seek a long-term relationship - your new partner is recently divorced/separated and not ready to settle down so fast
- Opposite schedules that don't allow the relationship to progress
- You are done with having children, but your dating partner is interested in having them (or vice versa)

- You have children and she is not good with kids
