"Reddit user mcamilove asked: 'What makes you think 'Run!' in your mind when talking to a new partner/date?'"

Not all relationships are meant to be forever.

Heck, some are meant to expire after only a few minutes.

The sooner we know when to run, the better.

Why do so many people hold on when life is telling us to flee?


Redditor mcamilove wanted to hear about the times when everyone knew it was right to flee a relationship fast, so they asked:

"What makes you think 'Run!' in your mind when talking to a new partner/date?"

Always listen to your inner voice when it comes to a relationship.

And have comfortable running shoes.

Miserable

"If they complain nonstop about how miserable they are, they're not going to get better in a relationship. It will only get worse."

Hoppers

"I call them the relationship hoppers. In my opinion, they run away from their pain and avoid facing their wounds, hence why they feel the need to immediately get to know somebody new. They are also often really bad at being alone with themselves. But no matter how far or fast you run your pain will get to you and everywhere you go, there you are."

Cash Flow

"When they try to casually mention how much money they make or how much money their family has. There's nothing wrong with making good money or coming from money, but I don't like it when I get the vibe that someone is using it to try to impress me."

"The funniest part is when they constantly do that and then complain that the opposite sex only wants them for their money."

Turn Away

"Sexual double entendres when you’ve literally just met and aren’t quite comfortable with each other yet."

Dramiotic

"I said something sucked, at a bar, and this random woman standing next to me leaned in close and said, 'That’s not all that sucks.'"

"She was ok looking but the delivery was just so f**king awkward and cringe… I made her face away from me."

"She started talking about being allergic to cats. I have a cat. She said I could get rid of the cat if it would be getting serious. I ended the date on the spot."

Never cross the animals. The animals come first.

Yes, they will...

Janet Jackson Reaction GIFGiphy

"If you meet them whilst they are dating someone else, but their relationship is coming to an end. You two are getting on real well, all of a sudden... oh they won't leave you for someone else, oh no. They will. Yes, they will."

The Past Stories

"When they say all of their EXs are crazy."

Hiberniuss

"If the whole world smells like s**t, check your shoes."

RichCorinthian

"Let's be honest, ten exes is a bit of a warning by itself. Unless they are counting ONS partners and short romances lasting 2-3 weeks."

"But yeah, having 1-3 crazy exes is very natural, given the s**t world we live in. Plus it takes time to grow up as a person, to stop attracting and start avoiding those kinds of people/relationships."

A Free Spirit

"Continual contrariness where the intended effect is 'I am interesting and different - a free spirit' but the actual effect is 'this person is way too much like hard work.' I mean you expect s**t testing but when everything seems like a s**t test, whatever happened to enjoy someone's company?"

just_some_guy65

"Yep, and they think they are being smart too lol."

Replacements

"When they trying to control everything. From drinks to food on a second or third date cuz they think I would like what they’ve chosen for me. Or when they still talk about that ex from years ago or trying to find me as their 'replacement' No, I’m not her."

Effective_Math_2717

"I went on a date like this but it was the FIRST date. Didn’t ask me anything, and ordered everything including the drinks before I could even blink. Gave me vibes that he used the establishment often/people there knew his order. Also, casually mentioned he had two other options set up but he chose me. Mid dude that talked about his awesome engineering job and how much money his parents had. Wonder why he’s single with so much money."

AdKindly4291

Stalker

"When it's your first time meeting, at a coffee shop to be safe. You order she shows up and starts going on about 'how they were right we were meant to be together' - 'I am going to tell my doctor how wrong he was you are my husband' etc. I didn't even get my coffee before I left, there was more along those lines but gave me huge nope vibes."

"It was a blind date she apparently knew my best friend and all that. I spoke to said friend after he had no idea who tf she was. She became a stalker for a while after, ended up changing cars, moving house, a large distance, and basically was terrified of leaving the house for a while. Haven't tried dating since really."

Look at the Signs

Zodiac Sign Leo GIF by Hope is SincereGiphy

"Bringing up zodiac signs and assuming my personality based on my birth date rather than actually trying to get to know me."

"Real story. The guy spent half an hour straight checking up my ascendant sign after my zodiac sign to make assumptions about me right to my face. Boy, get a life first please."

FBrandt

Date Over

"One time a guy showed up to pick me up and was already drunk. I did not let him drive me. And another time I was on a date, getting to know each other, and I was talking about my brother and his husband, and the guy literally had his face flush and said 'You have a gay brother? And you support that?' Date over."

LittleNightBright

I'm glad I like to run.

Sometimes it's not just about exercise.

It's about running from crazy.

Girl's Hilarious Reaction To Getting Divisive Candy For Halloween Caught On Doorbell Cam

In the '80s and '90s, kids were raised with the understanding that they got what they got, and they should say, "Thank you," for what they received. This was true for birthdays, holidays, and trick-or-treating on Halloween, even if they got candy they wanted to throw away the instant they turned the corner.

But kids today are much more communicative about what they like and don't like, and they can be brutal in their bluntness.

People Share The Best Ways To Shut Down A Debate With A Flat Earther Family Member

The Flat Earth conspiracy theory is strictly a modern online movement, rumored to have begun as a prank, that gained momentum among people who mistrust authority through the power of social media.

There is a persistent myth that Europeans in the Middle Ages believed the Earth was flat. But that is a 19th-century fabrication to sell Columbus Day, not historical reality.
