He clearly thought your were BSing him. If he is 50 I doubt he is a stupid idiot and did know the difference.

1. Wedding band.
2. Herpes sores on lip.
3. An apologetic waiter informing him/her that the card has been declined.
4. Shows up drunk.
5. Shows up 20 minutes late.
6. Starts flirting with waiter.
7. Asks how much you make.
8. Answers mobile phone and screams, "I told you never to call me again!"
9. Mentions somewhere he/she needs to be somewhere else in two hours. On Saturday night. At 9 p.m.
10. Asks fifteen seconds into the date, "So. What's your position on abortion?"
Well that just about covers all kinds of dating, not online. I'm looking for red flags in their profile, or e-mail contact before meeting.
I agree with about seven of your red flags, others could have a good explanation behind them (heck, my credit card was declined because I hadn't used it in so long, the CC company figured it might have been stolen)
In the past I was chronically late to classes where I hated the professors and classmates. So I guess the feeling is mutual huh?
See, it's a sign of contempt for others. And an indication that you can't get your act together. Neither is a good harbinger for a successful relationship.

Not exactly so. I have had men call me initially and when I have answered they have said, "Hi, can I talk to your Mom?" Trust me, many men cannot tell I am a full grown women via voice until I put some brain-punch behind it.

Oh, well I have no idea about the online dating world. But if a card has been declined, it's a pretty good bet because the holder didn't pay his/her bill. Sure there are other circumstances, but those are a lot rarer.
Ya what is your point? Don't you have contempt for certain people too?
Also when I'm late to dates I call or text message that I am running late usually before the date begins.

So are you trying to trap this guy as a pervert or did you just hate him for calling so early? I mean come on...it sounds like you are out to trap men and find faults vs. become connected.

Time is the most important thing in the universe. It is the stuff life is made of. Show me somebody who shows up 20 minutes late without calling, and I'll show you somebody who has zero regard for other people. Habitually late people just have no idea how much the rest of the world hates them. Trust me. There's absolutely nothing endearing about it.

Well, I have contempt for people who earn it. But given that you're actually trying to impress a date, it would be a particularly bad idea.
But you seem to entirely miss the point. If you cannot get it together to actually show up on time, or within 5-10 minutes of when you're supposed to be there, then it really communicates a lot of negative things about you. Even if you call or text, you're still making your date cool their heels somewhere waiting on you.
Of course, you spend a lot of time on this board talking about how you can't establish a relationship, yet you're evidently making a habit of being late for dates. Are you making a connection here?
