re: Red flags when you start dating someone

I'll tell you a red flag that goes overlooked a lot. You don't see it much when you're younger, but when you're older... well, I've run into this one a bunch.

There are women out there who, when you try to plan something with them, they try to "fit" you into their schedule. Like when you try to set a date with them, it becomes a negotiation. "I can do Wednesday night or Saturday morning, because I have tennis on Tuesday and Thursday, and I have a work thing Friday night." Now, this doesn't sound like a big deal, but this is a real time-waster if you're the kind of person who focuses on one person at a time.

Trying to date someone who makes it hard to date them... just don't. Move on to someone who shows more interest in you. Overly-clingy, possessive is a common red flag... but it's opposite... too-busy-for-you gal, is not. Watch out for the other end of the spectrum. It never works out.
