Gay Man's Gut Feeling Saves Woman From Potentially Sketchy Date

Strangers looking out for strangers.


A guardian angel

Earlier this month, Twitter user @Hadia__S was out on a coffee date when a gay man sitting behind her passed her a note.

In a now-viral post, the woman shared a photo of the note, which was given to her while her date was in the bathroom.

"I had coffee with a guy yesterday. When he went to the bathroom, the gay guy sitting behind me passed me this note," she wrote.

"Too many red flags. Run. Be safe girl."

She saw red flags, too

The woman went on that the date was indeed filled with red flags. One bad sign was "not seeing eye to eye" on the situation when rapper Da Baby expressed homophobic views to a live audience. Another was the date's admiration for Kevin Samuels, who has been called a "pseudo-love guru" who "exploits the vulnerability of Black women."

"Ok, I’ll share more..while trying to remain as vague as possible. But we did not see eye to eye on the Da Baby situation and he’s a Kevin Samuels fan. I had to look him up and was immediately taken aback lmao," she wrote.

"I recognized the red flags, but I wasn’t in danger, so I stayed, because of course I had to debate him. I’m sure my guardian angel was exhausted and was like “BITCH, LEAVE!”"

Thankful that someone was watching her back

The Twitter user added that despite seeing the red flags herself, she appreciated the note from the stranger and it gave her a good laugh.

She also addressed questions in the comments asking whether there'd be a second date — the answer was no.

"There were a few other GLARING red flags that I won’t mention, but don’t worry, I would have recognized them with or without the note. But the note was greatly appreciated and added some laughs to my night. There won’t be a second date," she wrote.

Listen to gay men

In the comments, user @endlessblissx pointed out how gay men are always looking out for women.

"Did you listen? cause if anyone knows men better, it’s GAY MEN."

Others shared that men who date men are excellent authorities on the subject and should be listened to.

"I’m just saying if a man who dates men, tells me to run tuh I’m hitting the JETS," wrote @misseverywhereg

"Men who date men know men.. you might wanna listen girl, ijs," wrote @thatdamnbrook

Look out for each other

When we're meeting someone for the first time, especially on a date, it can be tough to glean who they truly are. Sometimes, we miss telltale signs that show the person might not be as great as they seem.

Figuring these red flags out early on can save us a lot of anguish down the line, but it's not always easy to recognize them. That's why if we see red flags anywhere, whether it's a stranger or a friend, it's a kind thing to gently let them know. We all have to look out for each other in this complex world.
