List your "Red Flags" when going out on the first few dates with some one. You know, the comments that make you want to run when you hear them. Here is one for me....

"All my friends are guys"

If a girl doesn't have a couple girlfriends...then there is a problem. It usually translates to her having a couple of guys she likes to keep on the back burner just incase. I won't be one of them.

    I don't get why this is a bad thing?
    I have both... but just because some are male doesn't mean they are on the back burner....I'd NEVER have a relationship with them like that.

    Well its more for women who have ONLY guy friends. Usually the comment is followed by "I don't like to hang out with girls, they are too...." etc. I don't have a problem with them being friends with guys, but Only guys? that makes you wonder. This has just been my experience.

    yes, I am. I should have seen it as a red flag, but instead I felt sorry for him.

    Why are you "shouting" in all your posts?

    "My longest relationship lasted about a month."

    What a person does on the first few dates says a lot, too.
    drivingrl: "Will I ever get to meet Gwen Stefani?"
    kevinbeetle: "Yes. When her career washes up and her and Gavin move to Galveston, you will meet her at Hot Topic shopping for a Japanese cheerleader outfit.

    Next!"

    I've also noticed how people treat their pets or past pets is a good indicator.

    That's really a "red flag" for you?

    I can't exactly give a concrete example, but when they ask me to meet the parents in the first weeks, it's a good time to run.

    "The doctor says it'll clear up if I keep using the special cream."


    Or at least, that seems to be the red flag that turned off the girls I've dated.
