Red Flags in Dating


  • On your first date he takes you to a pet store at the mall and tells you he wants to get a German Sheppard and train it to attack people.

  • On your first date he uses a coupon to get your dinner for free and still divides up the bill and expects you to pay over half of that amount.

  • The day after he tells you he loves you, he tells you he would take his ex-wife back in a heartbeat if she wanted him back.

  • After dating for approximately 3 months, he takes you out to dinner, holds your hand, then takes you home only to break up with you at the end of the evening...mixed messages.

  • He only wants to see you once every 5 weeks even though you are willing to take turns with driving (long distance) to see each other.

  • He refuses to spend any money, even just for his own cup of coffee , so that you can actually go on a date once a week, during the 2nd/3rd months of dating.

  • If you are always the one driving to see him and he never drives to see you.

  • He tells you to get the f*** out of his house and never apologizes on the phone or in person.

  • He later tells you he feels liberated having kicked Satan out of his house. (If he calls you Satan, this is the biggest red flag of all!)

These are all real experiences that I have had in the dating world. There are probably many more, but these are the major Red Flag ones that stick out in my mind. I hope you get a few laughs from these. I've lived and learned! :)

So, Jen, because these actually happened to you, it doesn't seem right to say it - these are funny! Thanks for letting us come beside you as you're seeing things from this perspective.
