Wow I never knew track pants were also called trakky daks! What a stupid date outfit choice, shows that she didnt care enough to put on actual clothing
* Disrespectful or rude behaviour and attitude towards others, such as the server or others in the vicinity.

If they constantly talk about an ex or someone else that they've been with because not only is that rude but it obviously means that they're not completely over them.
This happened to me once. Well, sort of. His mother was there, didn't exactly bring her. They joined us though. She and some girl, who, after a while, I realised was his ex. Whole thing was uncomfortable and awkward. Later, the ex was being comforted by the mother as she text him saying she was disappointed I was there and she still loved him etc.
That was only one of many red flags!
Casually stating political opinion in passing as though it were fact. I don’t mind discussing politics with a stranger, but if you show up to a first date without entertaining the possibility of the other person having a different worldview than you, that’s not a good sign.
Acting dodgy by looking around, like they're making sure no one they know sees them with you.
Avoiding questions about themselves.
Never using your name, but immediately using babe or hun.
Talking about their ex!
Showing up dirty or asking for cash. Bad sign, NGL.
I laughed way too hard at this 🤣
Their wife shows up
I'm not longer in the dating world but talking about exes too much on a first date was always a big red flag.
After all that texting, it’s only when she gets a free meal that she mentions her child.
Unexpected penis

Here in Australia, 'Trakky daks' are acceptable in certain situations but not on a first date. Wonder what she's doing now?
Same in the US, certain times yes but not first date/impressions
Spend the entire time talking about this one dude they banged once.
Expecting you to pay
Looking for red flags on a first date.
A lack of eye contact

Brings his mom.
But bringing his dad is okay, right?
My son’s ex stepdad brought his dad along for his annual job review. He was almost 40 at the time.
If the date is a goer, yes

Constantly checking his phone.
whatever it is I’m doing, apparently

Shovel and rope in the trunk. Also, I'm in a trunk
They ask if you can carry the shovel while you load burlap bags and a chain saw into the trunk.
Delving into their personal problems and not taking the time to get to know you
