Tell Us Now: 14 Dating Red Flags To Run Far Away From

Because we could use the dating advice, we asked Cracked readers on Facebook, “What’s a dating red flag you wish you hadn’t ignored?” 

We've all been there. You meet someone new, and you're on the first few dates, and things are going great. But then, suddenly, you start to notice some red flags. Maybe they're always talking about themselves, or they're being overly critical of others. Maybe they're always late, or they cancel plans at the last minute. Whatever the case may be, dating red flags are common, and they can be a major turn-off. If you're seeing someone who is constantly raising red flags, it's important to trust your gut and move on. Life is too short to waste your time on someone who isn't worth it.

You need to kiss a lot of frogs before you find a prince, but sometimes the frogs have fly breath, and you should absolutely put them back in the swamp where you found them. Here are 14 times you persisted in the pursuit of love despite all the signs screaming at you to stop.

TELL US NOW. TRUMP APOLOGIST Mike M. says, First date. Spring 2016. She said, 'Trump says some good things.' I should have noped out of there immediately. About one month later, not making this up, after telling me she had visions from God regarding my success in the future - God spoke to her again and told her I was 'not holy enough.' Should have listened to my instincts. CRACKED.COM

TELL US NOW. OWING A LOT OF PEOPLE MONEY Alicia M. says, He owed money left, right, and center and kept borrowing just to spend more.
