A common red flag problem

Most internet users know what a red flag is; it’s a sort of warning which will alert you to something when it may not seem to be quite right or if it is something that is in need of attention. This is the same in the dating world, especially when it comes to online dating where you are dealing with total strangers.

So these red flags mean more or less the same for both sexes, which is quite handy really as there, are not going to be too many mix ups.

Doesn’t call when they say they will
Is very critical
Says negative things about their former spouse
After a third or fourth date, is online chatting with other possibilities by the time you get home
Writes, expresses interest, and then disappears off the face of the earth
Takes you for granted
Can’t deal with you having opposite sex friends
Says you’re great but then starts dropping comments about your clothes, hair, home …
Sees perceived slights in every word or gesture and demands apologies

Do you know anyone who has been red flagged or maybe someone who should be red flagged for some of their actions?
