"One minute he's planning a romantic weekend getaway, the next he 'isn't sure what he's looking for.' He watches your Instagram stories instantly but takes twelve hours to text back. If it feels like it makes no sense, you're not alone. Jared Freid -- comedian, beloved podcast host, and the Betches' favorite guy friend -- has been there, and he's also been that guy. He's given advice, ignored advice, dated well, dated badly, and stared at a confusing 2 a.m. text wondering what just happened. He's the guy who knows what men are thinking, and he explains it without defending them. No bro-code excuses. Just honest decoding of the behavior driving you and your group chat insane. In Walking Red Flag, Jared doesn't just describe modern dating; he helps you figure out how to get through it with humor and understanding. Because dating today isn't just mixed signals and inflated egos; it's real emotion colliding with people who don't know what they're doing but are still trying their best. Inside, he tackles: Getting dates (meeting people in real life, conquering dating apps (while not hiding your face in pictures), and setting boundaries); Hooking up (navigating first dates, the 'ick,' and intimacy); Milestones (handling holidays, birthdays, and all the 'tests' of a new relationship); Breaking up (surviving heartbreak without alienating your friends); Loving singledom (recognizing that being single isn't a red flag - it's a power move); Staying hopeful (remembering that love is out there, you deserve it, and you don't have to compromise to get it). Packed with laugh-out-loud dating stories, insightful advice, and a refreshing dose of (sometimes brutal) honesty, Walking Red Flag is your must-have survival guide for today's dating landscape. So get ready to swipe, laugh, learn, and fall back in love ... with dating."--Page [4] of cover
