Hey Pandas, What Is An Immediate Red Flag For You On A First Date? (Closed)

Pandas, share a red flag experience you had.

If they are rude to people around them, Service staff like waiters/waitresses. It’s a good indication of how you’ll be treated if in a relationship with them. And it’s not nice, that too.

My worst ever date-blind date, met in a bar before going for dinner, and he clicked his fingers at the barman and later on at the waitress to get their attention-actually clicked his fingers like he was doing clicker training for dogs. I left after the main course, couldn't face any more his behaviour-one comment he made was that if he was prepared to take me to dinner, I should have had the courtesy to wear a lower cut top and show him some cleavage. The friend who set up the date was absolutely mortified when I told him what happened, they were work colleagues and had never really interacted socially.

When you’re trying to communicate with someone, you’re first impression shouldn’t be “how much $ you got” wether it’s a date or another situation.

Having taught Conscious Dating Practices for 34 years here are my Top Ten:
Inability to listen with care
They will not reveal their true intentions (often fear being honest about wanting a committed partnership)
They get critical about who you are
They demonstrate any for of unkindness
They do not know what they want and need in a relationship! (This means they will practice with your heart!)
They lie
They will not introduce you to their family or friends
Their own life is a mess (how can they take care of YOU?)
They do not love themselves
They are wounded from the past and refuse to seek help!

A guy picked me up to go out for a drink once and berated me about not having my license (nevermind I'd just come home from living abroad and travelling for ten years so I had bigger fish to fry, thanks). He even said 'we will have to fix that'

His politics didn't align with mine either and was a wexiter (Albertan separatist), drank way too much, kept texting his ex all night, and invited his female friend on the second date we went on.

Spoiler alert: his friend was actually the best part of the date hahahaha

If they spend the first date whingeing and whining about everything and blaming others-one first date of mine spent the evening complaining about how hard accountancy exams were and the questions were ambiguous and it wasn't his fault that he didn't pass 1st time. And then he made non-stop complaints about the restaurant, the food, the waitress, the lack of availability of car parking nearby, the menu choices available, the people on the table next to us who were talking too much (not too loud, but they were having a normal two way reciprocal conversation, not listening to one person's diatribe). He was so negative and joyless it was depressing to listen to.

When they can describe the area you live in (starting from local fast food places, to your favorite park, the gas station around the corner from your house, and then describe your house when they've never been there) without knowing a damn thing about you. I didn't have social media or anything. Huge nope for me at the time.

Not on a first date. Exes are exes for a reason - we get that. And in *almost* (not all) relationships, both partners have some responsibility for the fail (unless there is abuse, addiction or cheating).

If she expresses a desire to get married or have children, Im out. Thats not first date material. I actually try to get that out of the way beforehand. Nobody likes their time wasted. Sloppy eaters is also a big one for me, and that goes for anyone I meet. If I see you being a slob in public, I dont wanna hang out with you.

well it depends if for the married and children one. if she is just like "yeah i want to marry you and have kids" on the first date i would be a bit anxious because she doesn't even really know me, but if she just says generally that she's looking for someone to settle down with i would be fine and most likely go on a second date.

Well, if you don't like s3x then this is a problem, but if you connect well with the person AND you like s3x, then I do not see the problem? Unless that was ALL he was interested in? Just asking for clarity. Personally I do not mind if a woman indicates that she just wants s3x. She won't get a second date, but I won't really say no.

Saying, "DO NOT marry a mentally ill person, please" is the saddest thing in the world. People like you are the reason there is such a horrible stigma about mental health. I couldn't love my husband more, and he is schizophrenic. He is an amazing, loving and loyal man. We have been married for almost 18 years. I feel sorry for you.
