What would raise a yellow, or red flag on a 1st date for you?

After reading this thread, I understand why you guys have so much time to be on GC.

What would raise a red flag for me is someone who doesn't understand that I have a chronic illness, and doesn't take time to understand the illness and the nature of it.

It's a part of who I am as a person, and if my date doesn't take the time to understand me, then the relationship is no good.

I'm happy to say that my SO of 16 years is very understanding. He's been with me through all the good, bad, and ugly that my having bipolar disorder can bring. Thank goodness the relationship is one of the stable things in my life.

I could go on. But I won't.

Good for you, I'm still looking for someone who can look past that without ignoring it.

Oh, where to start?

1. Disheveled appearance
2. Convincing me to wear a fanny pack instead of carrying a purse
3. Picking teeth
4. Nose hair
5. B.O.
6. Announcing that your nipple was sliced off
7. Chewing with the mouth open


In June, I went on a date with a guy from an internet dating site who did, indeed, commit all these sins. And yet it's my fault that I tried to walk off!
