Let’s admit it, most first dates can have a pretty awkward and risky vibe to it. From the nervousness and stuttering to the need to fill the silence even if it’s comfortable, and despite all of that, you still feel those butterflies in your stomach, and you’re already considering going out for a second date.
However, as exciting as it may seem, it is crucial to keep an eye out for any hidden red flags. In this article, we will discuss the most prominent red flags that if you ever spot, it’s clear as day you should run
1. Excessive negativity
We know life isn't all rainbows and sunshine, but come on, first dates are supposed to be fun and exciting! If your date is constantly complaining and overly negative, you need to know that negativity is contagious and that their constant complaining will drain you.
2. Talking too much about themselves
It is normal to talk about yourself on the first date, but when it is too much to the point where you are left with no room to speak and feel not given full attention, then, it means they are too self-centered and arrogant to care about a significant other right now.
3. Bringing up their ex a lot
You're clearly a rebound if they take on every chance to talk about their ex or specific past relationships. It shows that they're not over them, not ready for any upcoming serious relationships, and they are just wasting your precious time.
4. Being rude to the waiter
It may seem irrelevant or not alarming, but it shows the person's true personality. Pay attention to how they treat staff members and waiters. If you sense rudeness or disrespect in any way then it’s a glimpse of how inconsiderate and self-absorbed the person is.
5. Moving too fast
Be cautious of someone who tries to rush the relationship. This could include having intense discussions about planning a future with you, or wants you two to be exclusive. Normal relationships should evolve at a steady pace. Rapid intimacy like this can be a sign of codependency or an attempt to manipulate you.
