Red flags during dating?

When he is flash with money and insists on paying for everything but has no job.

When he messages you like 10 times in 30 minutes because you didn't get a chance to reply to his last message.

They text but never call.

When they soot down all your opinions and interests. Yes you can disagree but when they try hard to get you to agree with them.

Wants to know about your financial situation on a first date.

You always wonder when you'll see him again or when he will text again.

He has kids he doesn't take care of or see.

What's yours?

"He has kids he doesn't take care of or see."

There's a whole lot of reasons for this.

Some fathers are bad or abusive, some mothers use the kids as a weapon to hurt their ex by withholding contact, others are fighting to see their kids and some just don't care.

Don't make the mistake of judging them all the same way.

I've had a few where they just let me pay for everything and seem to expect it. I'm a bit old fashioned so I will always offer, but when it's way down the line and you realise they've not even once offered to buy you a drink in month's and you've paid for every date from start to finish..... same with travelling or driving..... lazy isn't attractive.....

If I was dating red flags would be

being creepy and clingy, mansplaining, using phrases like "typical woman", being nasty about previous lovers, referring to an ex wife as "the witch" or similar, any form of bigotry, an assumption that his political views were mine, a comb over, cargo pants and dirty shoes.

I have loads to be honest. I lose interest in men very quickly as a result. My main ones are:

Too clingy

Drink too much

Talk shit about their parents

Don’t make effort to see their kids

Talk shit about kids mum

Aggressive

Argumentative

Chat the shit but don’t follow it up

Liars

If i get a gut feeling about someone then i bin them off. My gut instinct is usually shit hot.

Oh I don't but from experience guys don't have there kids because they think they are getting back at their exes. The ones who are genuine are usually the ones fighting to see their kids.

"

1st date you pay... Ok

2nd date they atleast offer to pay

You communicate this is getting expensive for you

3rd date they don't atleast pay their half

Tell them it's not working out because of the above and if they don't understand or more importantly don't care.

Delete their details

I've stuck to that and I've either dodged a massive maintenance payment each month or found someone new who doesn't see me as an atm

Women who have an overly clingy relationship with their father... Aka Princess issues

Women who have a distant relationship with the father...

Aka daddy issues

It's different if someone is aware of their behaviour and is trying to change.

I dont mind paying more, that's not the issue, especially if I can or she cant afford it, but it's women who don't pay anything at all or don't even offer that bug me. Just nasty.....

Thats a narcissist. They have either never been told they are

Or more likely... Its the curse of narcissism they can't actually see or accept see they are narcissists

I just excuse myself mid date with these ones.

You'll only be banging your head a against a wall inside their own echo chamber trying to lead them out

When they act like your boyfriend from very early on or lay it on thick hinting about future plans when you barely know each other.

Exhibiting signs of baggage/negativity on a first date... if that’s how they set out to impress, that shit aint going to get any better!

Any kind of slut shaming or bigotry
