‘You’re 40, get a grip': The Most Entertaining ‘Dating a Red Flag’ Stories to Soothe the Single Soul

I'm like the protagonist in every romantic comedy, except my life seems to be stuck in the blooper reel. Trust me when I say I can recite every single line from my favorite rom-com because I believe in a happily ever after. My beliefs don't align with my reality, because I keep attracting frogs disguised as princes. Who haven't I dated? The commitment phone who vanished after telling me he loved me? Check. The self-absorbed person who wanted me to pay for their groceries when I came over to eat pasta? Check. The emotionally unavailable person who couldn't hold my hand after 4 months? Check.

Despite my best efforts to find my man, I keep finding myself in rom-com cliches gone wrong. My heart is a magnet for the wrong kind of attention, but I'm hopeful, and I refuse to give up. In the meantime, to make myself feel better, I scroll through the most entertaining 'dating a red flag' stories, so if you're in the same boat, go ahead and scroll down.

Then check out these funny coding memes for sassy ladies in tech who program their way through life.
