So I went on a date - should I be concerned about this person?
So I went on a date with a person from an online match making site yesterday.

Overall she seemed nice enough. (to me)

However, when we went out to eat she treated our waitress like complete shit. I mean along the lines of "I am your god kneel before me" kind of attitude. Made rude belittling comments to her several times. She also commented to me that she was not treating us respectfully. (which was not true. She was being VERY nice to us even with the rude comments being made to her)

Other than this everything seemed fine.... but the way she was treating her was very unattractive to me. I am trying to decide if I should consider this a red flag or not?

1. Run, don't walk away
If she treats servers like that, once you get established in the relationship she will start to treat you like that.

2. Hit it and move on.
It's only a matter of time before she is pulling that shit on you.

3. I would always consider that a red flag!

How someone treats someone else, esepecially if they are serving them, says a lot about that person. I can't stand people who are rude to waiters.

4. Never ever see this person again
Anyone who treats service workers like that is waaaay below contempt

Big red flag.

9. You're kidding...right?
Do you really have to ask?

That flag is the reddest of reds. If someone acts like that toward others on a first date it's only a matter of time and opportunity before she treats people you actually care about like that...

Not to mention you.

Sorry 'bout that. :hug:

16. To repeat the obvious: RUN!
Few things say more about a person's true character than the way s/he treats waiters. I also think you should tell her why you want nothing more to do with her.

17. That is exactly the way she will treat you, in time, if you let her.

Capisce?

22. But did she leave a tip?
What you were seeing was a vision sent by The Ghost of Relationship Future, and it's what's in store for you if you stick around.

26. I'd go out one more time and if she's still like that
run like the effing wind.

Sometimes people have bad, if not horrible days, but if she always treats a waitress like that I'd say it is best to move on.

34. I don't know...was the sex good?
:evilgrin:

If not -- run! If so -- do it with her a few more times, then run!

Seriously, I agree with other posters here: if she treats someone she doesn't know like that, it's only a matter of time before she treats you the same way.

36. How she treats wait staff says a lot.
Tells you how she can be counted on to treat anyone she has power over.
