watch how he reacts when a server messes up his order, when he gets stuck behind a slow driver, or when a mild plan falls through. a guy who is genuinely solid stays grounded and treats people with baseline respect regardless of the frustration, whereas a guy with a bad core lets that quick flash of entitlement, arrogance, or sudden anger leak out the second things stop going his way

If it happens once, then maybe not. We all have bad days and let our feelings get the better of us.

But if it’s a regular occurrence, yeah, that’s a huge red flag.

The problem is they are going to say that, and you are going to believe it every time. What are the chances their bad day was on your first date huh? Use rational thinking to consider the actual probability of something.
