A guy told me that if his significant other left the house to go on a girl’s trip, then her stuff would be packed once she returned. He believes that women who take girl’s trips are not faithful on those trips. Dude was so very adamant about it. As if he had conducted scientific research analyzing every action on every girl’s trips. 

I’ve been on several girl’s trips in my life. Infidelity is not the cornerstone of a girl’s trip. I have never been in a relationship when I was on a girl’s trip come to think about it. But, I do not see anything wrong with it and I would also encourage my mate to take a guy’s trip from time to time. His thinking is a definite red flag. A stop sign actually. The same guy also says that he will never get married. He expressed his feelings regarding marriage while we were on our first date. It was a brunch at Ellen’s in Deep Ellum. The food was amazing as usual but the conversation had its challenges. His ideas regarding marriage were his first red flag.

The second red flag was when he was telling me about his experience at a cigar bar. A lady felt compelled to list her accomplishments. He didn’t like that. She must have also said something regarding a height requirement that he did not meet. This brought the ugly out of him. In retelling the events of the night he called this young lady out of her name with such conviction that it stung to hear it. 

That’s three red flags. How many are too many? I guess it would depend on what they are . . . or does it?

XOXO

Lesson: Consider ending the talking phase at the first red flag.

Question: What are your red flags?
