HOOK
Going on a great first date? Watch for this: the biggest red flags usually show up before you even leave the restaurant. [B-roll: two people on a date, one checking phone repeatedly]
KEY POINT 1
If they talk badly about every ex, every boss, and every friend, that’s not just “venting.” It can be a sign they never take responsibility. [B-roll: person talking while the other looks unsure]
KEY POINT 2
Notice how they handle boundaries. If you say you’re not ready to share something, and they keep pushing, that’s a problem. Healthy dating respects a no the first time. [B-roll: person politely setting a boundary at a table]
KEY POINT 3
Pay attention to consistency. If their stories change, their messages are all over the place, or they disappear and return like nothing happened, trust the pattern. [B-roll: phone screen with missed messages, calendar icons]
KEY POINT 4
Finally, watch how you feel after the date. If you leave confused, pressured, or smaller than when you arrived, don’t brush that off. Chemistry should feel exciting, not exhausting. [B-roll: person walking away thoughtfully after a date]
