5 Red Flags That Aren’t as Cute as You Think

We’ve all been there. Someone does something a little odd, and instead of trusting our gut, we say, “Oh, that’s just their quirk.” Spoiler alert: quirks don’t usually ghost you, drain your bank account, or eat the last slice of pizza without asking.

Here are five “quirky” behaviors that are actually 🚩 red flags in disguise:

1. They say they’re “bad at texting,”  which actually means they’re not that eager to stay in touch. Phones are a two-way street.

2. They “don’t believe in labels,” that’s code for: they want the relationship perks without the commitment paperwork.

3. They’re always “too busy." If they’re too busy to make time for you now, trust me, it won’t magically get better later.

4. They call their ex “crazy”
   Unless their ex was auditioning for a Lifetime thriller, this is a sign they’re dodging their accountability.

5. They only make plans at the last minute. Spontaneity is fun, but chronic last-minute invites? That’s someone keeping you as Plan B.

Quick Takeaway

If you catch yourself saying, “It’s kinda cute,” when it’s a 🚩, it’s probably time to rethink things. Chemistry is fun, but consistency is sexier.
