“If you explain that you do or don’t want to do something out of safety or precaution and the man’s very first instinct is to AGGRESSIVELY try to convince you they’re safe — run.”

“If the man offers to pick you up and you were to say, ‘I’ve had some fairly jarring experiences with dating, so it’s important to me that initially we meet in a public space to get to know each other,’ and their response is to try to convince you? — run.

To seasoned daters, this might sound obvious, and to others, I might sound absurd, but it’s such a ‘people show you exactly who they are — listen to them’ moment.

They’re breaking down a perfectly reasonable boundary or limitation because they take issue with that limit. This shows not only a lack of empathy and understanding, but is also a huge indicator of other major issues.

Best-case scenario, it hurts their ego. Worst-case scenario — well, there’s a lot of them.”
