Oh, honey, you won’t believe the bad date stories I’ve heard. Dating these days, it’s a mess, I tell ya. Not like when I was young. Back then you just married the boy next door. Now, it’s all these dating apps and things. It’s all a bunch of baloney, I say. These young people and their dating, they got no sense. Here are some stories that’ll make your hair curl.
My neighbor’s girl, she’s always on her phone, swiping this way and that. She went on a date with this fella. Said he was a real smooth talker online. They met up, and you know what? He didn’t look nothin’ like his picture. Not a thing! Said he was tall and handsome. Well, he was short and had a belly like a watermelon. She was madder than a wet hen. That’s a big red flag right there, I say. If someone is lying on their profile, that’s a big dating red flag. They ain’t honest, that’s for sure.
And then there’s this other one. She went out with a guy, they went to a fancy restaurant. He ordered all sorts of food, ate like a horse. Then, when the bill came, he said he forgot his wallet! Can you believe that? Left her there to pay the whole thing. That’s just rude, ain’t it? If a fella can’t pay for dinner, he ain’t much of a man, is he? That’s a red flag big as a barn door.
One girl, she told me her date kept talking about his ex-girlfriend. The whole time! On and on about how crazy she was. Now, I ain’t one to judge, but if a man’s got nothin’ good to say about his ex, that’s a bad date for sure. Makes you wonder what he’ll say about you later, don’t it? Plus, if all his exes are “crazy,” maybe he’s the crazy one! That’s another big red flag, honey. You gotta watch out for that.
Now, this one here, this is a doozy. She met a guy online, they chatted for a while, seemed nice enough. They went on a date, and he spent the whole time talking about himself. Didn’t ask her a single question about her life, her job, nothin’. Just “me, me, me” all night long. That’s just plain selfish. If a fella ain’t interested in you, what’s the point? That is a major online dating red flag right there.
- If they lie about their looks. That’s a no-go, honey.
- If they can’t pay for dinner, well, that ain’t good either.
- If they talk bad about their exes, run for the hills!
- If they only talk about themselves, they ain’t worth your time.
And this other girl, bless her heart, she went on a date with a guy who was just plain mean. He was rude to the waiter, complained about everything, and even made fun of the way she talked. Now, that’s just unacceptable. If a man treats people poorly, he ain’t got no manners, and he ain’t no good. If someone disrespect you, that’s one of the biggest dating red flags you should never ignore. It is a very bad date.
My friend’s daughter, she had a date who kept checking his phone the whole time. Texting, scrolling, not paying her no mind. That’s just disrespectful. If a fella can’t put his phone down for an hour, he ain’t got time for you. A bad date for sure.
One time, a girl told me her date showed up drunk! Slurring his words, stumbling around, it was a mess. Now, I like a drink as much as the next person, but showing up to a date drunk is just trashy. If they can’t even be sober for a first date, that’s a big, flashing red flag.
This one here, this is about boundaries. She went on a date, and the guy kept trying to touch her, even after she told him to stop. That’s a big no-no. If a man can’t respect your boundaries, he ain’t worth a dime. That’s one of them dating red flags you just can’t ignore, honey. It is so important to notice it in a date.
And then, there are those dates where there’s just nothin’ there. No spark, no connection, just awkward silence. Now, that ain’t necessarily a bad thing, but it sure ain’t a good thing either. If you can’t even have a decent conversation, what’s the point? You don’t want to waste your time on someone who’s not right for you. It is not necessary a bad date, but it ain’t good either.
So, you see, these bad date stories, they’re all over the place. You gotta be careful out there, honey. Keep your eyes open for those red flags. And remember, if it don’t feel right, it probably ain’t right. Trust your gut, that’s what I always say. These young people, they need to learn a thing or two about dating. It ain’t all about looks and fancy dinners. It’s about respect and kindness and finding someone who makes you happy. You should know what you want within 3 months, and have a clear idea of the other person by the third date. That’s what it’s all about. If you see those red flags, don’t ignore them! They’re trying to tell you somethin’. It is important to know what are the dating red flags.
