This dude I’ve seen around town has totally been hitting on me and I am incapable of responding to red flags appropriately. I used to slalom and GS I see red flags and want to bang them as fast as possible lolol.

Haven't had my first cup of coffee so not sure if this makes sense.

Would it help to make a list of his red flags?

Ohhh be careful of those red flags. You seem to run towards them lol.

If you haven’t seen any red flags yet maybe just go with it and see what transpires. You never know. Nothing ventured nothing gained.
Thanks for this!

Ski racing jargon. In slalom and giant slalom there are red poles/flags and blue ones to mark the course and you usually hit them for the most efficient route.

According to your posts, you are not in a good place mental health wise and are frequently suicidal.

Would it be the best idea to embark on a relationship where you are seeing red flags? Might that not precipitate a mental health crisis?

Thank you. I figured that GS meant giant slalom but I did not pick up on the flag references. I had lo-o-oved watching winter Olympics as a child and had been mesmerized by slalom but it was so long ago that I missed your allusions to slalom.

What did you decide in terms of proceeding or halting it with this fella?

Havent seen him since the last time I went to the soupy which was a week or two ago. Think I won’t pursue it. Got together with some chick I met in jail though.
