Legit, I like her immediately. She's interesting. Enjoy, she may be a keeper!

  1. "Has trouble finding things" hmmm.
  2. "Persistent"

I once saw a professor on my way to his class and, since I really abhor small talk, I kept walking just far back enough for him to not notice me until we got to the classroom where he just kept walking straight ahead. I went in and 15 minutes later he arrived saying "I couldn't find the classroom". No, it wasn't the first class.

I would say this is definitely not a red flag.

But I'm also not saying it's green. Probably more green than anything... Maybe a nice seafoam.

The Good is that she wasn't angry and was being patient. Letting you figure it out. The not great but not bad part of this is that she did nothing to help.

I would have just stepped outside for "some fresh air" and wait for the person to notice me standing next to the entrance. That way I'm helping them, but only a little, they still have to find me. Finding me may be easier than finding the establishment that we agreed to meet at.

The key here is to not go out and call them over. Let them find you. If you call them, it's kinda difficult to walk the line of, "oh hey, I'm over here" and not cross over into "get over here stupid. I had to come get you because you're to dumb to find things yourself".... Best play is just to make yourself more obvious.

I wouldn't say this is a green flag as it is, but it's definitely not a red one.

She gets this opportunity to study his thinking from this perspective ONCE. Let her enjoy, and if she still likes him, and he likes her, that was an awesome move!

Coming back to edit... if I'm the lost dude, and she comes out to grab me, that's embarrassing. Fuck that. Everything that happened was good. It's a green flag now.

It's a red flag on the third date.

Hehehe I'm way too autistic for this type of internal monologue.

Hey fren wassup!

[–] CottonMcKnight@midwest.social 3 points 18 hours ago

I think a second date would be needed at least before claiming red or green flag. She sounds interesting, but I have concerns that it could get bad quick...

[–] mavu@discuss.tchncs.de 41 points 1 day ago

that's a keeper. humour, and no misplaced respect.

[–] jjjalljs@ttrpg.network 157 points 1 day ago (2 children)

One time I was meeting someone for a second date. I got a seat at a table outside. There's a fence and a gate between that area and the sidewalk.

I see her walk by. She sees me. She waves. She keeps walking and is gone.

I'm have so many questions. I text her.

Turns out she didn't know there was a gate in the fence there and thought you had to go like around the long way, but for solid moment I thought she was like aggressively standing me up.

We dated for a few years and are still friends.

[–] generic_computers@lemmy.zip 31 points 1 day ago (1 children)

If I were her, I'd totally try to look super-cool and hop over the fence. This would probably end with me hurting myself and/or looking like an idiot.

Then you get sympathy and a story to tell at parties. I see no downside.

[–] Jumbie@lemmy.zip 11 points 1 day ago

Sounds like your date didn’t pan out, bud.

Green flag. This is science girlfriend behavior

(in George Takei's voice) Oh, my!

Green flag, letting you make your own mistakes without getting mad

Green flag, she's down for social experiments

[–] SethTaylor@lemmy.world 51 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Hmmmm... maybe it was neither a red flag nor a green flag. Maybe it was just scientific curiosity. Mouse in a maze type of thing haha

[–] starman2112@sh.itjust.works 24 points 1 day ago

Makes it a green flag to me tbh

[–] mycodesucks@lemmy.world 94 points 2 days ago (3 children)

Maybe we're all a little flag fatigued, and we don't need to analyze every behavior of a bunch of jumped up apes on a scorecard of correct and incorrect answers for every decision they make?

I get that we are all hyper-aware of just how bad it can get if we don't pay attention to warning signs in 2025, but can't someone do something a little quirky without it being an indicator of virtue or flaw?

[–] Catoblepas@piefed.blahaj.zone 57 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Hmm, nuance to social interaction, green flag!

All these comments about her but nobody has asked how it took him 7 minutes to find a cafe in one intersection? It's not a secret lair, presumably enough people find it that it stays in business.

[–] ThunderComplex@lemmy.today 25 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Something similar happened to me. I can 100% vouch for this guy. I had to go to a neighboring locale and ask them and it was like immediately next door. Knowing the address, GPS, and street view did nothing to help me. I was all like “ok, this entrance has the house number immediately before where I needed to go, and the next visible door had the house number immediately after where I needed to go, where the absolute fuck is this?”

Some road crossings are bad, and some roads are wide. And you may have to wait to cross to an island, then wait there to go further.
Example:

And you could have more of these.

I probably would have done the same thing. Sounds cute to watch.

[–] kalpol@lemmy.ca 22 points 2 days ago

I would have been fascinated by this attitude and we would have had an extensive conversation on the risks and controls of this process

[–] GreenShimada@lemmy.world 20 points 2 days ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (15 children)

100% Green Flag. She was checking you for red flags and aware of her surroundings.

Did you panic? Ask someone else? Freak out and leave? Pick your nose? Exhibit signs of being nuts? No? You figured it out and were not weird? Great. Then she doesn't need to duck out before you find the place. OP posting about this online means she ought to cut it off with him, she's better than him.

Edit: Some of y'all need to talk to a woman some time.

[–] user224@lemmy.sdf.org 40 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Why? It's just usual micro blogging. There's no critique, just a mention of what happened, perhaps just to share something funny. You just write things you found worthy of mentioning, post them, and see if anyone else finds it interesting.
