NEW YORK, NEW YORK - APRIL 10: Two people kiss on a rowboat in Central Park on April 10, 2021 in New York City.

Before I met my fiancé, I think I experienced just about every first date red flag that there were.  The guy who checked my nails, because he liked someone with a good manicure.  The guy who picked me up and cracked my back or how about the guy who licked my face??  Yep – all true.

In my effort to save you the humiliation/time/mental anguish that I went through, here are some red flags.  Remember red flags = run.  Not gather them into a bouquet!
