The internet never grows tired of its constant search for “red flags.” We all know that it’s a red flag in dating if a guy says he isn’t ready for “anything serious” but doesn’t seem to have any issues with asking you to come back to his place (translation: he’ll do everything but call you his girlfriend). It’s no secret that it’s a red flag in a job if an employer says the office is more “like a family” than it is a place of work (translation: setting boundaries will prove to be very difficult). And another thing that has been deemed a red flag, specifically when it comes to women? If a woman doesn’t have any female friends.
