Be Very Afraid: First Date Red Flags

T.G.I. Friday’s for dinner

Really son? Friday’s? Are you looking for the twofer’s deal (or maybe that’s Applebee’s), or do you just love their Jack Daniels chicken and shrimp? There’s nothing wrong with Friday’s per se, besides the fact that it’s loud as hell and there’s a group of little leaguers sitting next to you having a food fight. Hopefully you’ve found a brother who is not lacking in the creativity department, because if he chooses Friday’s, he very much is. In the day of Google there’s no reason you can’t have some amazing walk through some beautiful park  in Washington Heights or dinner at a small, quaint restaurant on the Upper West Side (affordable, but still, no Cipriani’s). If you like Friday’s, you can ignore this. But in 10 years when the two of you are obese, still unmarried with three obese kids having food fights in Friday’s with the little leaguers, I want you to remember that you could have chosen a better path.

What are some red flags that make you cut a dude off before the second date?
