Behavioral Red Flags
Pressure Tactics
Anyone who pressures you to meet faster, do more, or ignore your boundaries is showing you who they are. Respect this warning.
Anger at Boundaries
If someone reacts negatively when you set reasonable boundaries or ask for verification, they're not safe to meet.
Inconsistency
Details that change, stories that don't match, or photos that seem inconsistent with what they describe are warning signs.
Trust Your Gut
If something feels off, it probably is. You're not obligated to continue conversations or meet people who make you uncomfortable. Block and report if necessary—you're protecting yourself and the community.
