Has @Nicole0416 commented in here? Curious about her red flags.

Most of these lists have a YMMV premise to them but much of them are very spot on.
- Disloyalty, talking negative about you to other people instead of establishing a direct method of communication with you and only you. No one should know the issues in your situation except for the person that you have the issues with.
- Lies, "if you lie, then you cheat, if you cheat then you steal" . Nothing worse than catching a person in a lie because then you can never trust them with the truth. If they can lie to your face, then there's no limits to what other behavior they will engage in.
-"Energy vampires are emotionally immature individuals who have the sense that the whole world revolves around them. They are almost incapable of seeing things from another person's perspective. They often lack empathy" This type of person brings down your whole vibe. Feeds off negativity and drama. Their whole purpose is to mask in their own misery and take you along with them. I remember when I was taking a professional development class for work; I really needed to focus bc it was beneficial to my job at the time. I explained to the dude that I was with at the time, that our time together would be limited, how important it was that I be prepared to finish the course.. etc etc. It's like he deliberately wanted to distract me - started complaining about my work hours (staying late at the office), talking about how I wasn't being attentive; compare me to his friend's girlfriends as far as them making time (even though those women didn't have the same job demands or didn't work at all). always coming up with some reason to start shyt to "force me" to pay attention to him. Also dated this other dude- At the time, his life wasn't going so well with his business, started drinking a lot, always making the spot hot with cops watching. Some of the least productive times in my life have been during a relationship.
- Possessive has no life outside of yours. No interests, hobbies or activities that keeps them occupied.
- Self centered "it's all about me attitude"
- Emotional and mental immaturity, feel like you have to put them in adult "time out" constantly, by either ignoring or not responding to them because they are not acting rational or understanding.
- Never listens, only hears: if I have to constantly repeat my feelings or concerns and there still not respected.
- which brings me to the last point, if you feel that you are contemplating "ghosting" a person and whether their are too many disadvantages to engaging with that person. That's a sign to exit. Intuition says a lot.
- a person will treat you, how you allow. No one likes to be used or made to feel that the returns are not worth the time or emotional investment.
- too many female "friends" and for men, if a woman has too many male "friends", that means that you're not getting what you need from your personal relationship. Need friends or a rotation around to compensate for what's lacking or having someone on standby,

Too many visible tattoos/piercings

While yall consider these red flags, they're all green flags for me. I love myself a nice braindead thot, one who absent mindedly plays with her hair and is constantly taking kissy faced IG pictures with different filters.

Anything other than coffee or I'm meeting up with friends come by if you want. I always feel first date should just be the two of you so movie or dinner is just fine.
I disagree the first date should be cheap as hell, coffee is perfect. If you go on a dinner date make sure you go Dutch.
Movie is a bad first date idea, because you can’t get to know one another

Sorry breh but coffee is a friend zone date. Nothing more. At least movie can give you a little intimacy.

You really can't deal with a woman who you don't know where her loyalty stands. Some of these women have ties to other men, especially those with ex-boyfriends or baby fathers that are in prison. As soon as you catch wind that she was dealing with someone who's currently in prison. It doesn't matter whether he's doing 20 months or 20 years. If she was visiting him while he was in prison or putting money on his commissary, then she was still connected to him while he was doing his bid. Even if she tells you that she's no longer involved with him, do not take the chance.

I guarantee the dude in jail is still claiming her, especially if she was with him when he got locked up. It will be some unnecessary drama once he gets out of jail. There's a strong likelihood that he's going to try to get back with this woman. Even if it's for a place to lay his head or stand on his feet, she's who he is coming to. And if they have a baby together, forget about it. Just keep it moving. And sure, she'll try to hit you with the "it's not her fault he's in jail and that she's trying to move on with her life, but he won't get the picture", but that's not your problem. You deserve to come into a situation with a clean slate, and not having to worry or look over your back when it comes to her exes or some dude in prison. What would be tragic is you investing all of this time in her, and then he comes home and just takes your place. And she hits you with the "I love you, but me and him got history." She had you as a placeholder until her real man came home. And also had you raising his kid. Don't do it to yourself. If she got a man or baby father who's in jail, don't get mixed up in it. She's taken whether she believes it or not.

Only thing I disagree with is the first date being cheap as hell...Coffee is definitely not perfect breh, that is a friend zone date...

$100 for dinner reasonable so that's what I would aim for...

Pay for dinner test always been one of the best in determining a woman's quality...If you enjoyed her company and she makes a move to pay for it, you stop her and pay it yourself...If she doesn't make the move, she's a smash and pass and you need to determine if you can get the box tonight...If the answer is no, pay your half and bounce...

The other classic test is the passenger door...Basically get out, open the door for her and when she gets in pay attention to what she does as you make your way around to the driver seat...If she pulls out her phone its :camby:

Also if she pulls her phone out infront of you at any point and does not apologize she's ...:camby:
