what were the biggest red flags you ignored?

[MoufOfKhaos]

Asking for money. Whether they say borrow, loan, "i'll pay you back", "i'm in a bad situation right now", etc... the story is always a lie, and once they get a cent, they ask for more, and more, and more.

I've fallen for this, twice(two different guys). It's why i'm not in a relationship now and am ready to flee the state...

EP... lol


I have yet to hook up with someone here in the midwest that didnt have a description that said "Not into Hookups" lol


The worst is guys who think they can talk their way into bareback after saying they are into safe sex....


As far as real relationships... I haven't had too many to be honest. I have had plenty of friends with benefits and I know several wanted more but I am very slow to commit.

Dating a stripper.

We broke up when she wanted to become an escort =x

I'll second the money option, it's probably the biggest red flag I've ignored that's come back to bite me on the arse over the years.

If you've never met any of their friends after months of dating, that should be a red flag. If you do meet their friends, and they are all sluts, liars, cheats druggies, that should also be a red flag. Always turning their phone to vibrate, or going into another room to talk on the phone, is another big one.

 

[LilBit]

Still pursuing a relationship with someone after I found out they were in already in one. I was young and stupid.

This was mine too, except I was old enough to know better.

 

[Lostlover]

An ex-boyfriend that wanted to get off the phone with me (yeah me!!!) to tell his mom about a grade he got in his class.

I thought then "That was a hard test!" Talk about giving someone the benefit of the doubt.

 

[hylas]

"hm, that guy looks 15 years older than he said he was."

i was young and stupid, and the internet was new to me.

 

[LilBit]

When he told me he "forgot" to leave the right amount on the bedside table.

Ten times.

Bitch, I TOLD you, I have trouble converting from Canadian to American dollars.

 

[Ram]

When he told me he "forgot" to leave the right amount on the bedside table.

Ten times.

Why? He left more money than he should? Learn to recognize charity, you miserable ho.

 

[Ram]

my real freak-out incident, though, was when he was clipping his nails on the couch, and then when finished -- just threw his nail clippings on the floor, as if that was how everyone disposed of their nails.

And you let him live? You are the crazy one, Loki.

 

[Ninja108]

Money...and his bragging to friends about how I was his boyfriend..
I was more of a showoff piece than a bf to him.

 

[blackbeltninja]

That she was a highly devout Christian.

-d-

 

[hotb0d]

doesn't have a stable job and a house.

 

[justsimon]

When she made out with several people at a party that was essentially our first date … while I took care of the baby. And thus began almost a decade (so far) of baby mama drama.

 

[oakpope]

when i overlook the fact that they were straight...

 

[jwa007]

I would have to say the biggest red flag I ignored were Obama's poll number, especially in Iowa during the latter half of 2007. I saw what I wanted and was blind to reality at the time.

 

[quasar]

The old chestnut of dating a married guy that never seemed to find that 'right time' to break up from his wife. Despite being told that he'd done this with another guy, I just wouldn't listen. Wasted 18months of my life on him!

 

[youngnihilist]

Money , never mix money and relationships unless you have a ton of it and don't mind parting with it

Mine was him asking for money, threatening to leave me or do bad things (porn, prostitution etc) if I didn't

 

[maxpowr9]

Dating a closet case. Reckon this was WAY back in college but still, there was far too much emotional drama as an out man dating someone insecure with thyself.
