Love or deception? Check out 7 red flags: dangerous signals from people you’re chatting with on dating apps.

I’m not shutting myself out, but I haven’t found anyone in real life, so I’ve had to try swiping apps. This is probably what happens to many people looking for a relationship these days. Online dating is like looking for a needle in a haystack. It takes a long time to find someone you like, to find someone you can connect with, and have chemistry with.

But what’s worse than not meeting anyone at all is meeting someone who clicks with you… but then gives you a “huh” signal with certain words and actions that make you constantly anxious and uncomfortable. If you’re in this dilemma, you’ve encountered a red flag from the แทงบอล UFABET ราคาดีที่สุด ไม่มีขั้นต่ำ person on your screen. 

Today, we’d like to invite you to check out prominent red flags from online dating. If your partner is showing any of these signs, back off quickly before wasting your time, feelings, or anything else. 

Love or deception? Check out 7 red flags: dangerous signals from people you're chatting with on dating apps.

1. Do not ask for personal contact information.

This is the most obvious first sign. Your conversations with him on the app may be fun, flowing, and seem to have potential for a relationship to develop. But he never asks for your personal contact information. Or if you try to continue the conversation on other platforms, he will be evasive and make excuses.

If you encounter this type of person, assume they only want you on dating apps. This is the safest option for this type of person. If he ends the relationship, just unmatch or delete the app. There’s nothing that can trace him back to them. 

2. Claiming not to use social media

When someone claims to have no social media presence, or claims to ‘not use’ it for whatever reason, there’s a good chance they’re hiding their true identity. They may be in a relationship, married, or talking to multiple people. 

While some people don’t actually use social media for personal reasons, such as mental health or a lack of interaction, you should observe the consistency of their overall behavior. For example, if they avoid video calls, that only reinforces that something is definitely wrong.  

3. Superficial conversation, not wanting to know each other deeply

If your conversations with him revolve around simple questions like “What did you do today?” or “Have you eaten?” without asking about your feelings, opinions, or anything deeper, it’s a sign that he’s not interested in getting to know the real you. And if you’ve shared something about yourself and he asks again, you should be able to tell if he’s forgetful or just not paying attention.  

4. If you think you will disappear, you will disappear. If you think you will come, you will come.  

You’re having a great time, and then he suddenly disappears, not responding to any messages for days or even weeks, and then comes back as if nothing happened. ‘Ghosting’ is a sign that he doesn’t value your time and feelings at all. He might just view the relationship as a game, or he only comes to you when he’s lonely and needs temporary attention.  

5. Speaking in a suggestive manner 

If you’ve been talking for a short while and he makes suggestive comments about your appearance, or sends inappropriate texts or photos, this is a red flag that you absolutely should not ignore.

A person looking for a serious relationship will respect your personal boundaries. He won’t focus on the physical aspect of the relationship from the start. This behavior shows that he’s only interested in you sexually and doesn’t respect you as a person.

6. Love Bombing

If he’s been sweet-talking you so much that you’ve only been talking to him for a few days, it could be a scheme to make you feel special, infatuated, and quickly fall for him before he starts taking control of the relationship. Trust me, in this situation, you’ll be the one who gets hurt. 

7. Talk about financial problems from the beginning.

If he starts telling you stories of his financial hardships and starts asking for financial assistance in various forms, be aware that this could be a ‘romance scam’. These scammers will use your sympathy and feelings as a tool to steal your life. If you encounter this, stay calm, do not transfer money, and end it.

Online dating can be exciting and promising, but it also carries a number of risks. Knowing how to spot these warning signs, and most importantly, avoiding lies, can help you protect yourself from those with ill intentions and increase your chances of finding a genuine, meaningful relationship.
