DATING RED FLAGS - Lunch Break! 

I loved Tae's reaction after! "what?" lolz

am I the only one who understands him there XD it can be frustrating when people don't know how to navigate a crowd on their own when you're in a rush. that being said I walk really fast and consider myself great in a place like times square...but have had friends I had to look after and watch out for if they got stuck in crowds it can slow down a day. Maybe not frustrating to a red flag level but definitely a good trait to have aha

its very new yorker of you

thought his movie analogies were better though, haha

He meant not fat.

Sora!

Jelli Blubblez yow!!

+Jerome Tiemsim (Chim) I would say if she doesn't like Wong fu then it's a red flag. If she hasn't watched them then I'll introduce them to it. And they will love it!

+Jerome Tiemsim (Chim) YES! YOU WATCH NGNL. SORA~~~

Cherie Chan Is there a season 2?

+KiuAndChic It depends though

No Game No Life it depends? How

very true. divi up the tasks, make it fair, help each other out

Sorry, I disagree.

KiuAndChic tbh idrc about that

Agreed but she also was hesitant to raise the red flag for tipping. Even bad service warrants tipping.

Lack of social awareness grinds my gears. I think personally that the question about would you rather have some logical or someone with social logic. Social logic because it's employment would already be indicative of good logic. Does anyone agree it's sort of impossible to understand how some people can have such low emotional and social understandings?

+Scrofar I'd say that if they're seriously dissing the things you like (and not just teasingly or jokingly) then its a red flag even with an explanation. Your S.O. should be fine with realizing that you don't always HAVE to like the same things.

partially agree with you there @Tone Pursuit. Yes, a thoughtful S.O. should understand lovers don't have to like the same things. 100%. In regards to dissing the things you like...it depends. Dissing in a non-negative, constructive, and/or opinionated sense with an explanation of their POV should be ok. If it's unreasonable, then no. Why? Because there are some things that an S.O. can like that is harmful or negative to him/herself, and to others around him/herself. Not being open to an explanation is just closing off communication between each other.

yes this!

+Suspect Lol I agree. Don't think I've run out of things to talk about with my girlfriend but probably because we already left that awkward barely-dating phase. We've gotten so comfortable with each other that on long car rides we're fine just listening to the radio and not talking. Or when we briefly sit in silence while eating dinner at the table we don't panic. Just happens that we somehow always have something to talk about. I always say there's nothing wrong with silence. It's normal. However, if you can't EVER find something to talk about or connect then its a red flag in the beginning.

I quite agree. I love periods of silence and do not find them awkward, but every person I've ever been out with always has to interrupt times of silence with something that usually makes it awkward. Kind of unnerving for me. My guy friends and I sit and do nothing all the time. Don't see why it's taboo to do that with a girl.

bensons a friggen genius

If she's hardworking and is responsible with her money then I think that's ok. I mean, not everyone has goals and is motivated by money.

***** Having goals and being ambitious doesn't mean money is the focus.

I didn't say it was. But if you're not motivated by a goal then the next best thing is money, is what I meant. Some people aren't motivated by either, enter the minimum wage job.

Esteban Ramirez men who smoke are more gross.

OMG Princess the second one sounds scary

Haha, so true about the Japan one! And after living here 12 years and going back to the USA I completely forget about having to tip... So, being hesitant to tip may be a cultural thing?

Kay Fabrin what is tipping?

Canada is actually quite a big believer on tipping

So true, There’s no such thing as tipping where I’m from my parents think it’s ridiculous and that’s how I grew up😂🤗

+Thy Tran When you put it out that way, I don't think I can unsee peaches now.

+ginaheartscupcakes People stop learning?

+moonlight1890 It's all about android

+moonlight1890 He's okay

same

+Tammy Tan I'm not sure if it's just an american thing, but in particularly restaurants and cafes it is encouraged to tip the waiter/waitress with at least the minimum tip money because that's pretty much their entire paycheck. it's a pretty unfair system, if you ask me.

You tip a small percentage of the overall price. And no, you don't have to tip everything and everyone, mainly only for services like a pizza delivery, waiters, room cleaning, and sometimes cashier. Personally I don't tip cashiers often but if they have a "tip box" (which can be compared to a hat a street performer puts on the ground) I might tip if they are nice.

I'm from Singapore and we don't practice tipping either cos the restaurants will include a "service charge", which is 10% of the total bill, into the bill.

+Tammy Tan I will tip where the situation calls for it(for sitdown restaurants it's usu 15% of the bill as a minimum; when I go to nicer/fancier restaurants and the service is good I'll tip 20%) but I don't like tipping and tbh I think it needs to be abolished as a custom. It used to be that tipping was like "oh you did a good job here's some extra money" but now it's like i feel like you havta tip even if you didn't have that good service. Where I lived in the states, the sales tax was like 8-10%, so if I went to a restaurant and got a lunch for like 12.50, it'd end up actually being around $16.... Everyone who works as a waiter/waitress should just be paid an actual living wage(because tips are expected, the actual wage of a waitress might be like $2.50/hr, which in any other situation would be illegal). I don't see how tipping should be necessary because these people are doing their job. You're not going to tip the person who bags your groceries or your pharmacist, so I don't really see why waiters are exceptions. Sorry for ranting I just really hate this system. I've been working outside the US for 3 years now and it's SO NICE to not have to tip(and where the price shown usually includes the sales tax) and yet know that I will still get good service

+A. J. They both suck

Ger Vang Uhm. . . yes you can.

+Oddishcookie _ i know right?? PHILIP WES BENSON! READ THIS COMMENT PLEAASE

+Oddishcookie _ YAAAS PLSSS

Same here, I don't drink, cause alcoholism runs in my family but I don't mind if my partner drinks~ I can still enjoy myself as long as my partner is having fun, is all that matters

Yeah. If others choose to date those with different beliefs that's their choice to make, but for me personally, I can't go against what I believe.

Same. We can be friends, best friends... Not romantic partners.

you shouldn't be scared to defend your core belief :) stay happy

Girl! I understand. I have heard so many times that religion should not make or break the couple, but it often does. People behave so differently than what we fantasize how things should be. The truth is, there's a lack of intimacy if you can't understand and acknowledge the same beliefs, especially if there's already some resistance.

I agree and it worked out very well for me. Non-Christians sometimes don't understand how Christians are called to live. We are not perfect but our values are different. I'm glad I stuck with that because my marriage is super strong and gets stronger everyday (And I'm not just saying that).

+cindy agoncillo So much this, I can't stand people who won't try new things.

Totally 😂😂😂

The French.

it's more of a North American culture

lucky me basically everybody beside North America...? I’m not sure if this is Anglo-Saxon

On the topic of food, yeah, basic table manners are necessary. I don't care if you don't know how to set the table 100 percent but like, showing an ability to have appropriate table etiquette like eating with your mouth close and forks are a must. I also think that people should know how to cook, it's honestly not only sad but annoying to hear friends say they don't know how to cook, because lordy you'll be doing it a lot. I am not expecting anything ambitious and I just want them to have the most basic knowledge of how to handle things. I think it's also tell tale if they don't wish to abide by a recipe at all, because I'd feel that'd be telling as to how good they think they are. I'd hope if they're so proud, that the outcome would be there to back the confidence. How many of you agree?

Me too. I even told my boss I couldn't see her lovely emojis.

+Miah Kuhaulua Me too. It might actually be a red flag if the person I'm with has an apple phone; cult-like tendencies

Isn't unlimited text now for everyone? I see that in Canada plans now!

+Charles Reyes Nope, if someone doesn't text a lot (like me), buying minutes/paying per text is sometimes cheaper.

I do this every time lol. Feels like we're ALMOST in the same room XD

+aedreezy Oh you feel that? That's boyfriend material.

+aedreezy and Benson finds his girlfriend. she's even a subscriber!! *plays wedding aisle melody*

+Jess S There's two types of people in this world; those who throw underhand and those who wish to see the world burn.

What if they prefer sidearm?
