How do you continue after the honeymoon phase?

At this point, you will probably stop ignoring the possible red flags in the relationship and will be able to evaluate your partner more in-depth. This will help you decide if you should continue dating this person or not. The answer here depends on what your goals for life are. For example, if you want kids, can you see yourself raising children with this partner? Are your financial styles compatible? If you're not on the same page about the important stuff, it's better to have a serious discussion before your lives become even more intertwined.
