Hey beautiful people! It’s Tuesday, and I’m so excited to be back with you. Today, we’re talking about something really important: dating red flags. These are signs that someone may not be the right fit for a healthy relationship. But before we dive in, let me say this. Sometimes we’re not interested in the person, we just want the attention they’re giving us. And sometimes they want attention too. Ask yourself, do I like this person? Or do I just like how they make me feel right now? That’s a big clue. Now let’s get into my top 10 dating red flags. And trust me, number 10 is a major one.
1. They’re Inconsistent with Communication
If they show up one day and disappear the next, that’s a red flag. I’m not talking about waiting a few hours for a text. I mean, when you almost feel ghosted. You deserve someone who values your time. If they don’t see how amazing you are, don’t chase them. Just move on.
2. They Never Take Responsibility
If they’re always blaming someone else and never say “I was wrong,” that’s a problem. Healthy relationships need accountability. If they can’t admit mistakes, how can they grow?
4. They’re Emotionally Unavailable
Some people are still healing from past hurts, and they just aren’t ready. You can’t force someone to open up or be ready for love. They have to do that work themselves. It’s not your job to save them.
5. They Run When Things Get Hard
If their go-to move after an argument is to block you or disappear, that’s not a good sign. Relationships take work. If someone isn’t willing to work through conflict, they may not be ready for a real connection.
6. They Lie, Even About Small Things
If they lie about things that don’t even matter, be careful. Because if they lie about the little stuff, they’ll probably lie about the big stuff too. And trust is the foundation of any relationship.
7. They’re Disrespectful to Others
Watch how they treat people in authority, kids, or even animals. I’m not talking about minor annoyances. I mean full-on disrespect. That tells you a lot about their character.
8. They Try To Isolate You
If they start pointing out problems in all your close relationships, that’s a red flag. Your core people, your family, friends, and loved ones matter. If someone is trying to pull you away from them, ask yourself, what’s really going on here? Are you in love with who they are, or are you holding on to the fantasy of who they could be?
9. They’re Always Out Clubbing or Partying
Now, if someone works in nightlife, that’s one thing. But if they’re constantly out late with friends every weekend, they may not be ready for a committed relationship. They might love the attention you give them, but not want to settle down.
10. They Have No Friends of Their Own
Whew. This one is big. If they don’t have any close friends or family connections outside of your friend group, that’s a major red flag. I don’t care where they live or what their story is. People need community. If they don’t have one, there might be deeper issues underneath. I could do a whole video on this one alone!
Final Thoughts
