First Date Red Flags to Watch For

Behavioral Red Flags During First Dates

These signals are significant on a first date:

• •Does not match their profile — different appearance, details, or personality
• •Rude to service staff — predicts how they will treat you once comfortable
• •Pushes alcohol — keeps ordering or refilling despite your stated limit
• •Pressures physical contact — ignores your pace or stated comfort level
• •Monopolizes conversation — talks about themselves without genuine curiosity about you
• •Checks phone constantly or seems distracted — you are not a priority
• •Gets angry about minor things — previews how they handle stress
• •Lies about small things — if they lie when it does not matter, they will lie when it does
• •Negative about exes — blaming everyone else suggests they will blame you too
