Red Flag: Noun. A social faux pas seen in dating that should scream “WARNING” to
you and your future decisions.
Below
are what we think are some big time red flags.
His mom cleans his room, does
his laundry and buys him back-to-grad-school clothes at Brooks Brothers.
If prince charming has not been weaned off of mama
and that childhood umbilical cord has not been cut, you are in for a treat.
Just wants a bride.
This is a spooky one. It’s like he has a cut-out
ready and is just waiting for you to poke your head through. Are you a female?
Are you breathing? Perfect. Want to get married?
Not going to school.
You want to marry someone who is smart. You don’t
want to have to make tough decisions like house prices, insurance adjustments
and child discipline alone. Marriage is a team sport.
Talks badly about
ex-girlfriends.
Sure we don’t have warm fuzzies about all the people
we used to date, but there is generally a feeling that you both messed up a
little. So if he constantly bashes on old girls and everything was their fault
you eventually might be added to that “long list of traitors who don’t understand”(Thanks

Has to look at his phone/FB
newsfeed/World of Warcraft status like it’s his oxygen supply.
All
we can say about this one is run. RUN FOR YOUR LIFE! You want a real boyfriend.
Not a virtual reality one.
Mean to the little people.
When
we say little people we mean the people who do not give your date any social or
monetary advantage such as clerks, waiters, strangers in line at the movie
ticket place, children, parking lot attendants…
If
your date can’t see that these people are important and that he needs to make
them feel a little better about themselves then don’t waste your time.
But
these are just a few…What do you think are some big time red flags ladies?
You
have to tell us what to watch out for!

Says he wants to date other girls to make sure you're the ONE.
ReplyDeleteHead for the hills if this is the case!!!!!
(And please learn from my experience...just because he's a recent RM, doesn't mean jack. If he still wants some wings, then he's not ready.
I've dated every single one of those guys. A red flag on one of the guys I dated was when I brought him home for the *first* time and my mom and sister walk in the door after getting home from skiing. He sees them in their snow clothes (this being the first words he says to my mother) and asks, "do you ski or snowboard?" and my mom says, "oh we ski." and he was all, "skiing is for WOMEN and POSERS." We pretty much showed him the door after that one.
ReplyDeletered flag = the frequent use of "lol" in said male's text messages. disgusting.
ReplyDeleteRed flag: A sign of arrogance is the kind of bad listening that always steers the conversation back to his own stories. Watch out for these...you'll just turn into a vehicle for his own ego. Waste of time much?
ReplyDeleteRed Flag: If he obsesses over Sports Illustrated Swimsuit edition and counts down the days until its new edition. NO ONE LOOKS LIKE THAT.
ReplyDeleteRed Flag: "Oh, I've been meaning to tell you. You're self righteous and act like you're better than everyone else." I appreciate the input, but you couldn't have brought that up any other way? Sheesh.
