The modern dating pool is emotionally exhausting, whether you meet someone on a dating app or offline. For LA-based creator Emily Banks (@dxrtylaundry), a promising new organic connection apparently turned into a nightmare when she left on a simple family trip.
In a recent TikTok video, Banks shared a brief dating experience that served as a major reality check for her about emotionally high-maintenance guys.

And if you want to dodge a red flag early like her, go with your instincts the moment someone makes you feel uncomfortable.
