Reply To: I cannot tell if this is a green flag or the reddest flag ever.

I don’t think you’re wasting your time speculating. I mean, yes, in the sense of “does he like me,” and “what does his body language mean,” it’s true that you can’t know, we can’t tell you, and you’d have to get to know him better to figure out if he you even like him.

But! You did identify as least a yellow flag, I think more trending toward red given he said he “can be” manipulative. And so I don’t think you’d be wasting your time to take a little closer look at his online comments and stuff, because I think if you see ANYTHING that’s a bad take on women, you can just move on.
