In this episode, we dive into our personal experiences with dating red flags, warning signs, and dealbreakers. We share a story about a date who held onto anger over minor inconveniences, and created an unsafe, tense environment. We discuss how ambiguity—like dating profile statuses saying "still figuring it out," mixed signals, or overthinking future scenarios—signals a lack of commitment and passive energy. We share instances of subtle red flags, including homophobic remarks about playing certain instruments and condescending behavior, such as a partner secretly letting the other win at table tennis to "let her experience success. Finally, we explore how internal overthinking and poor communication can strain relationships.
