Red Flags to Look For on a Date

When you are out in the dating field you are trying to get to know people that you may want to further a relationship with. It can be easy to get wrapped up in wanting to be in a relationship. You may turn a blind eye to certain behaviors simply because you are attracted to certain qualities in a person. However, you will want to be rational and pay attention to red flags on a date. Some red flags that you may notice on your date can warn you ahead of time about a possibly bad situation. Pay attention and don't let your wants cloud your common sense. Here are some red flags to look for on a date:

If your date says all of the right things, yet appears to not be paying attention to you and seems to look over at every other woman that may be walking by; this can be one of the red flags that your date may be a player. He knows what to say, yet his eyes are constantly distracted by other women; not a good sign. When you are out with someone it is important that they say good things to you, but you also want them to pay attention to you while they say them. A man that is truly interested in you will pay you his full attention.

One of the other red flags to look for on a date is behaviors which point towards a jealous streak. You can spot a person with potential jealous tendencies by some of the questions they may ask. For example, if your cell phone rings on a date and the person makes a comment along the lines of, "whose that your boyfriend?" even if they say it in a joking manner, this may be a sign that you will want to keep your eyes open for other signs of jealousy. If they ask you questions about where you were when they called, or seem very interested in knowing about the men you work with, or a male neighbor they saw you say hi to; these can also be red flags pointing to jealousy from your date.

Pay attention to how your date treats other people. You will want them to be respectful and not be rude. Rudeness towards others, such as waiters and waitresses, or other people you come in contact with on your date can also be one of the red flags. It may show that they have anger problems or problems respecting the feelings of others. If you enter a relationship with a person like this, they may end up treating you with that same disrespect. Watching out for red flags is always a good idea in any situation.
