11 First Date Red Flags: Bumble Edition

So after a fairly significant number of dates from a variety of dating apps I decided it was time to compile a list of red flags.

Bumble is a dating app that gives the women the power to make the first moves. In my experience with dating apps, Bumble tends to have the least creepy individuals. But needless to say, there is still a need to vet the creepers, so I compiled a number of red flags that tend to pop-up on your first Bumble date.

You can thank me later.

1. Your date informs you that they don't like animals.

Well maybe they mean like snakes? Oh nope, they mean puppies. They don't like kittens either. Well then, if they don't like animals, especially baby animals, run for the hills is my advice.

2. They get aggressively offended when you offer to pay.


Seeing as it is 2016, you shouldn't get angry when I offer to pay for my part of the date. Yeah, it is nice that you want to pay for it but don't get pissy that I offered.

3. They talk down to you because of your major.


"I'm a theatre major."

"Awe that sounds like fun."

"Wow, you are a business major? You are for sure the end all be all of success."

Maybe instead of assuming my major is an easy one you ask me about it. Maybe you will learn that on top of school work I easily put in 20 hours a week towards my career.

4. Your date tells you that they think Donald Trump is a good choice for President because of his business background.

Don't even get me started.

5. They readily answer questions but never ask you any.

I mean I am glad that you are passionate about yourself, but damn.

6. They try and order for you.

While some think this is a sexy and bold move, I think it's just rude. No, I do not want the side salad, thank you.

7. Your date repeatedly brings up the fact that they go to the gym.


Believe it or not, I did notice that you put it in your bio. I also heard you the first five times you mentioned lifting, no need to repeat yourself. I'm all about being active but let's maybe expand our conversation topics?

8. They compare you to their exes.

Excuse me sir, you should consider yourself privileged to be out with me. I am a fabulous, strong, beautiful woman and I don't need any comparisons.

9. Your date tried to get handsy in the first hour.

I mean I guess props to you for the honest intentions? But seriously, back off.

10. They tell you intimate details about their past experiences.

Sometimes you are minding your own business, having an okay time on a date when the person unleashes some facts, statistics, or anecdotes. There is a time and a place for these stories and while open and honest communication is key, maybe you should think about how you bring it up?

11. Your date mentions how much they love Nickleback.

They whole heartedly say this. Zero sarcasm. Run, just run.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
