The dating pool can sometimes be more like a shark tank. And you never really know when you’re going to encounter the Great White. You swim along, hoping for the best. Maybe, if you’re lucky, you find your Nemo. Other times, you think you do. But in your little fins, you feel like the bright thing you just saw in the water might have actually been a big red flag. And not a piece of coral. You ignore it. Until boom! The shark appears, shows its teeth, and you realize you really should have paid attention.
Someone recently asked people to share the biggest "unhinged" red flags they ignored while dating or married to someone. And wow, netizens did not hold back. The TikTok video racked up almost 3,000 comments. From one guy who flat-out told his girlfriend never to Google him (find out why further down), to another who had Andrew Tate as his screen lock. Some of these posts might make you want to delete your dating apps immediately and adopt another dog instead. Bored Panda has put together a list of the craziest responses. Let us know about your own relationship red flag disasters in the comments section below. Don't miss the chat we had with relationship expert Professor Amber Vennum from the Kansas State University. She explains why we often end up missing those blazing red flags and you'll find the info between the pics.
