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.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter
morethanwheels

I've been in college for four years now. I spent half my time as a commuter and half as a resident so I've experienced both sides of the housing spectrum. One thing I've learned comparing the two is that my struggles as a commuter far outweigh anything I went through while living on campus. Commuters have to deal with the problems school brings along with a slew of other issues; I've filled up my gas tank in the worst kind of weather conditions and napped in random places in public more times than I'm proud to say of. This is a list of some of the most challenging aspects of being a commuter.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!
