    If he takes you to a nice restaurant but then questions the server as to why 18% gratuity is automatically added to the bill.

    Red Flag that he's probably too broke to be there or just plain cheap.

    I dated this really sweet women that was also a communist. She had so many red flags.

    :# true. I have so many red flags. And. Communism.

    A communist joke isn't funny.
    Unless everyone gets it.

    I once got a strike on here for calling Canadians communists.

    Red flag: if he starts using pet names way too early on. Bruh, I ain't "your love", we haven't even had a date yet. Slow your muthatruckin role.

    Babykins, why you gotta be all harsh on my pet names, my Schmoopiness?

    I'm picky

    I don't ask for help even when I need it, stubborn I guess

    I overthink things so I need someone to be straightforward

    Mexican food tends to solve many issues... ;)

    Its a huge red flag for me if a guy doesn’t treat his mom with respect. Obviously there can be extenuating circumstances here, but it generally holds true.

    Also a guy who never has plans without me. Go do stuff, fool. I need a night in to take a two hour bath. 😏

    One of my red flags? I don’t really know. Sometimes I’m just not in the mood to talk. Maybe I’d rather watch stupid YouTube conspiracies or play sudoku. If you find that unnerving and question me about why I’m ‘ignoring’ you or ‘don’t care’ about you, it’ll go down a rabbit hole I won’t have the energy to follow you down. You’re not my everything. I better not be yours 😬

    -unsure about making decisions on my own
    -care WAY to much
    -people pleaser

    red flags
    -when he asks you to move with him in the first month
    -when he lies about the meds hes taking and they turn out to be molly and when confronted he starts hitting his head against the wall (should have ran as far as i could from this one)
    -when his mom is still calling his teachers to fix problems (he was in college)
    -when ever time there is an issue he doesnt want to deal with and he responds with ill tell my mom she will deal with it
    -when almost everytime you have an argument he offers killing himself as a solution

    If all your ex wives and ex common laws were heiresses and corporate executives with MBAs
    *and*
    all your former consorts on the down low were waitresses, hat check girls and casino employees - that's a red flag flyin' high on the pole.

    Once you realize my socio economic status is incongruent with the potential you imagine I have, you might want to red flag me or at least get an iron clad prenup.

    Red flag: when the stories they tell seem over the top.

    Red Flags
    — treat servers bad
    — clingy
    — every conversation ends up about them
    — lies
    — heavy drinker

    I can be...
    - quiet
    - Depressed
    - Unfocused
    - Not touchy feely
  • Introducing you to family too soon. I once had a boyfriend, we started dating on Monday and he invited me to his Easter dinner Friday to meet his family. Silly me went. We broke up a month later after he gave me a promise ring because I felt he was moving too fast.

    Apparently him inviting me to dinner wasn’t enough of a dead giveaway.

    I went out with a guy a total of 3 times and we texted casually here and there over the course of about 2 months. He started talking about selling his place and moving in with me to start a new life with my son and I. I wanted nothing to do with this so I flat out told him I did not care to see him again. His texts became insistent and pathetic. He terrified me to the point that I changed my number. This goes back to my red flag of, too much too soon. Nope.

    Red flags you should catch about me

    -I've been told I like to brood a lot and that I always seem down based on my (lack of) expression. Really I'm just the stoic type and I promise a nothing face is a happy face.

    -I have a tendency to follow through with bad choices and decisions to the end, just to learn what not to do again.

    -I like dogs more than people. A lot of people say this, but if a person and a dog were drowning in a river, I'd probably save the dog. You shoulda learned to swim.

    -I have no control when M&M's are in the equation. Game over.

    -I have control issues. Not so much as in what you do, but as in I'm driving, I'm pushing the cart, I'm doing the heavy lifting etc...

    -I love babies. I had 4. I still have them, and they are full blown children now. I still love them, but I miss babies. (not going to make anymore though, I promise)

    -I don't let things go because of the way you were raised. You should be at least 30 to talk to me, by now you've had plenty of time to figure the world out.


    Red Flags I'll catch about you

    -You want to date me seriously even though I live on my sisters sofa. I need to be held accountable too, and you have no standards.

    -You use astrology as your faith. What is the point if the story has already been written?

    -You have children from a previous relationship, but are not involved.

    -You can not turn your phone off and put it away for the weekend every once in a while. All those status updates and emails will still be there on Monday.

    -You're so independent that you won't allow me to open a door or pull up a chair for you. It isn't degrading to your abilities, it's just a nice thing to do and I do it for my guy pals too.

    So, are you single or nah?
