Hey Tabby,
I'm sure Dinah and Beardy are offering you sound advice, healthier than mine. My sad truth is, I'd be watching out for those red flags--they can be good warning signs (like you I have tended to ignore them in the past until they become huge conflicts). The good news is...you're in the game enough to be watching out for them!I once went on a date and the guy didn't offer to pay for my (one) mineral water at the end of the evening. I never went out with him again--it was just so weird to me--I would pay for my girlfriend's mineral water, you know? Even though first dates are awkward and no-one knows the rules, I still think it says something about someone's character if he picks up the tab for a mineral water. (I guess itdidn't help that he was boring and not very attractive either.) He kept trying to go out with me for months afterward, telling me what a brilliant and funny guy he was. Maybe I should have just told hime he might have had a chance if he'd have paid for the mineral water. Maybe that sounds petty, but I do think it says something about a person.
