17 Simple Phrases That Are Instant Red Flags When Dating

Back in the 1920s, being called "toots" was such a turn-off. It was disrespectful and misogynistic. Whenever you heard the main character in one of those old-timey movies say, "Hey there, toots!" You'd always hear the woman replay, disgusted, "I'm not your toots!" However, now, in 2023, if someone came up to you in a bar and said, "Hey there, toots!" Let's be honest, you'd probably laugh because it's so desperately out-dated, that it has to be ironic. So, it's about the era when it comes to what phrases you should and shouldn't use when dating. For instance, "I'm a nice guy" might have actually meant something several years ago, but because of it's constant misuse throughout the years, now that is a MAJOR red flag to hear when dating. "What's your sign," might have been cool back in the '70s if you were a hippy on acid being mind blown be the constellations. But now if someone asks you that, you wonder what kind of medication they're on. 

Well, if you're unsure if you have been spouting red flags left and right in your dating game, don't fret! Recently, a Reddit thread has blossomed where people are contributing their "instant red flag phrases." Scroll on to see some of them below!
