While this thread is highly entertaining, it's also 150% WTF. Makes me glad I'm married and don't have to worry about dating.

Biggest red flags you've gotten on a date?
- Thread starter Cryptosporidium
- Start date
Third date. We were watching Warcraft at my place. She was very hyperactive, constantly asking me what will happen, who will die, why people are doing certain things. I just nervously chuckled, and said "you'll have to watch the movie". Her response was to sulk like an eight-year old, but in a "cutesy" way. Crossing her arms and frowning like the grinch-
In general, it felt like dating an eight year old girl, so it creeped me out.
It's not a big red flag compared to other stories here, but I haven't had many bad dates.
I kind of quickly ended things after that. Then I saw her post some transphobic stuff on Facebook, so I cut her out.

Once she started using the word "race" when referring to humans of different skin colour or facial features.
I know Americans won't get this, but the rest of the civilized world has abandoned the lunacy of biological human races literally decades ago. There's only two kinds of people who talk about races: American expats/tourists and streight up nazis

I haven't gotten any huge red flags h o w e v e r it seems most of the women I am interested in have just gotten out of a relationship and so aren't fully ready for another to start. So it becomes me getting attached before they become distant and get cold feet. And that's been 2 in a row so far. Good times. I fall too quick lol the struggle of being loving :'/
My advice, don't get attached to women who are still getting over their ex.

In my defense I think she was referring me to use her shower after sex.
I recently got out of a long term relationship that, for me, feels like a huge missed opportunity. So this thread is terrible to read ;)
Had a date with a guy and he told me he was 4000 Euros in debt because he was addicted to Candy Crush Saga.
OP
OP
tbf, while sex is good it lasts all of one night
a bad date story lasts you forever
2006, guy shows up in a car with a "W04" [George W. Bush 2004] sticker. Tells me he voted for him both times because he "liked his foreign policy."
I was desperate after an awful breakup a couple months before, and the guy I really liked was taken at the time, so I ended up falling in with him anyway and dated him for a year and a half. By then I was real sick of his shit (there were a myriad of other issues I won't go into) and dumped him as soon as the guy I really liked broke up with his girlfriend. Then I dated that guy for like a month until I found out we were incompatible despite the nearly 2 years of sexual tension and friendship between us. Oh fuck it, I'll just say it bluntly: HE WANTED TO PLAY DOTA INSTEAD OF HAVING SEX WITH ME WHEN I SURPRISED HIM IN LINGERIE. I immediately fell out of lust with him after that.
Then I met my husband a few months later and I was finally free from the dating scene. Hopefully forever because fuck that shit.

Two.
One: met the girl online in high school, she went to a county school so I didn't know her in person. Same interests. This was back in the early 00s but she actually had a scanner/digital camera which still weren't terribly common at the time. We meet and she her her friend with her (she gave her a ride). She had used her friend's photo. Not my type to say the least.
Two: went on a date with a picky eater. "I don't like vegetables", nah I'm good.

Sorry to hear that. I hope you find someone nice in the near future!
Girl in college, I asked her what her favorite books were.
"Oh I don't read books, they put me to sleep. I only ever finished one"
"Oh I don't read books, they put me to sleep. I only ever finished one"
How do you even fuck while shitting? Does the person save poop the whole day until fucking occurs? Is the poop like the climax?
I feel like this is beyond a red flag. That's last part is scary.
I only got so far as to see that she was really meaning that. I thought she was just doing a bad jab at a dirty joke. Until then...
Reminds me that the same guy in my previous story who had the W sticker also dragged me to see the Larry the Cable Guy movie on opening day. And laughed throughout.
Also Men in Black II did suck ass.
As I read the description on Google, I literally doubled-over in pain. I'm still squirming now.
"Pewdiepie did nothing wrong, the media just create click-bait to take him down."
A few years ago my current partner said pretty much that line. Some youtubers he kinda watched had apparently really pushed the idea that the WSJ wrote a "hit piece" against PDP because they (newspapers, old media) were scared of new media (youtubers) replacing them. I pushed back on the idea ("The article they wrote on PDP is pretty tame, and WSJ is 100% not scared of youtubers replacing them, they're not that kind of newspaper") and we dropped the topic. A month later when JonTron came out as really racist in a debate, and many of the same youtubers that defended PDP defended JonTron too, my partner got super critical of them and 180'd.
I slept with a nice girl on the first date and after the sex she was smiling in a strange way looking at me, when I asked her what was that funny she told me "I was thinking how cute our babies will be"
Noooooope girl.
Noooooope girl.
Yooooo the same thing happened to an acquaintance (a girl) a decade or so back and I still keep laughing about it today.
Lawd hope you wore a condom hahah
This is fucking sad, I really hope no one's done this to me.
It's a mirage. People are just as racist outside of the U.S. They just don't talk about race so I guess that's supposed to make them feel better and give them a false sense of cultural superiority or morality but Europe is still tilting towards the far right. Guys like Boisnard are getting elected. Black players are getting monkey chants on the pitch etc etc..

I'll ask my wife if she wants a sister wife.
Actually on second thought I don't think I have enough energy for that.
Not a date, but a girl at work (first red flag) that was showing interest in me. She friended me on FB and sparked up a conversation that she was like, not capable of actually having. One word answers, lots of dead air. Finally she says "sorry I'm bad at talking lol"
Like, what?
She unfriended me about a month later after I didn't spark up any other conversations with her. Which sucks because we have super similar tastes in music, and to me that's like a thousand hours worth of shit to talk about. You know, if you actually try.

Ugh I hate this. Dated a girl who couldn't drive and it got pretty frustrating. I remember a bad snowstorm and she REALLY wanted to see me and basically guilt tripped me into driving over. Almost got into a car accident. Was basically the beginning of the end.
That's not an automatic red flag for me. It would be different if you were talking in person and she was just deadpanning lame conversation ending answers at you. She could have been super nervous or something. Dated a girl like that who didn't really have a breakthrough until the 3rd or 4th time we got together when she figured out I wasn't going to just ghost her. Even to this day (we're still friends ) she has trouble sparking up a convo because she's just shy and doesn't want to put herself out there. I try to explain I like hearing from her and don't mind at all but that shyness runs deep.
Should have asked your coworker to get together for drinks/dinner/whatever IMO
Oh absolutely. I was being facetious. There isn't a spot on earth where racism isn't a powerful factor.
Eh. I feel like "i'm bad at having conversations" or whatever she said is a bit of a red flag even if it's one that you can explain. It's just a strange thing to be told by someone who is trying to talk to you.
But she wasn't someone I wanted to date anyhow, so other than having a new bud to talk to--which she clearly wasn't looking for--it wasn't going to work out anyways.
I had forgotten what it was exactly but it came back as the reactions started coming in
Somebody is going to have to describe what the fuck this is so people stop googling it and possibly finding images.
It's a guy spreading his asshole open exceptionally wide in front of a camera. It's like, pretty tame by all current internet standards.
Yeah, that isn't sounding.
Sounding is jamming things up your urethra basically.
Ah Ok. I wasn't sure. I've seen some "opinions" on this forum that were similar and serious.
Oh, yeah, sorry. I misread the quote chain. Sounding is the insertion of an object (usually, like, a small dildo), into a male urethra for the purposes of sexual pleasure.
Huh, didn't know there was a term for that.
User Banned (1 Month): Excusing Racism and Inflammatory False Equivalences Over a Series of Posts
Oh, also forgot to mention, I think she pissed herself in anticipation of the Sex. Yeah, no
It's ok, I don't expect you Americans to understand it. Years in this community have thought me that cultural context matters A LOT in being able to understand seemingly basic concepts.
Every German knows, that if he'd imply the existence of biological human races in public, it would not end well for him or her. Does not mean there is no racism, it's just framed differently. The idea that there is no racism in Europe is just the weird take Americans always seemingly get from it, even though nobody ever claimed it. I guess it is just hard to understand that racism can work in different ways. I guess that is probably also because of different cultural backgrounds, and why americans don't understand how "white" brits can be racist towards "white" polish people.
It's kinda similar to how black face is handled, and how Americans can't comprehend that most Europeans do not understand it as inherently racist. Actually... I think it's quite a good analogy. The same way most Europeans don't understand blackface, 99% of Americans just don't understand why "Race" can be a sensitive topic. And I think, that if the U.S. ever wants to overcome their "race" issues, they absolutely need to have this debate first, because the continued usage of the concept and word just cements the status-quo

Wise man.
Weird flex, but okay.
