    - keeps her read receipts turned off

    I just don't have an iPhone so I keep people guessing, except about whether I am basic.

    the whole time I was wondering where the *kitten* people were finding this stuff..... stupid iphones

    Android user - do I even have read receipts? I don't think so. I can't see when other people have read my messages, either. Is this really a thing? Are people actually getting all het up because someone may or may not have "read" their message at 12:53 but now it's 1:04 and they still haven't responded? This is what I hate about texting. Remember back when you wanted to talk to someone and you actually had to call their HOUSE and if they weren't there, you were just out of luck until they got home and called you back. Now everyone in the world thinks that everyone ELSE in the world is at their beck and call 24/7.

    I know. I'll get back to looking for my teeth and shaking my cane at whippersnappers.

    Red flag: Lists all the things they dont want in a relationship/partner. When asked what do they want in a partner.

    Turn off: someone who is misleading

    Yeah agreed.
    Or when you try to break it off with someone they give you a list of your pros and cons.
    Pal. That doesn't endear me to you surprisingly enough.

    Lol I dont think I have ever been in that scenario. :D would love to see how that one would pan out.
    That just feels odd in thought. What do you do with that? Take it as constructive criticism? :D ........ I have however been in a scenario where an ex tried to give me advice for my next partner. That was awkward. 😂

    If she jumps in to bed on the first date.

    That's about the only deal breaker

    😂😂 My reaction was, "OK. Bye!" It was ridiculous stuff as well, like, "I don't lie it when girls wear their hair up"
    Good god. Giving you advice, bit presumptuous.
