2 weeks agoLatest NewsComments Off on I was having a great third date but things soon turned weird when a customer handed me a note, it was a chilling warning
A WOMAN has been left mortified after receiving a warning whilst out on a date.
Lindsay, from the US, was on a third date with a man when she was slipped a note from two strangers dining there.

Lindsay took to TikTok and said she and her date were having a great time and were acting very PDA-ish the entire evening before two women approached her, complimented her looks, then handed her a folded-up piece of paper.
“I was like, ‘Oh my God, f–k,’” recounted Lindsay, who is in her late 40s.
She unfolded the note partially and read the words “Just no!” before she quickly folded it back up and stashed it in her purse so her date couldn’t see it.
The singleton only read it in its entirety when she went to the bathroom later that evening.
The note read: “Just no! You can do better.”
Now Lindsay wondered whether she should heed the warning or ignore it.
“I’m like, did he do something while I was in the bathroom? Did he hit on them?” she questioned. “Do they know him around town?”
“Were they just being girls’ girls?” she added.
The chilling warning came as a surprise to her, and Lindsay had hoped the girl would come forward with more information, which hasn’t happened.
After the date, she asked if he knew them which he denied.

Ultimately, she has decided to end things after he sent her a string of drunk texts.
But Lindsay was still pondering the note, and her video posted to her TikTok account @cuteascluck went viral with over 400k views.
Many women took to the comments saying she should listen to the girls.
One person wrote: “I’d just trust the note. We don’t write a note telling you “just no” solely based on looks. Either they heard something while you were gone or they know something about him.
Another commented: “I see 2 Red flags…. 1. He’s coming on strong and 2. You were warned.”
“Girls don’t do that for nothing. Trust your gut,” penned a third.
5 red flags that you’re dating a catfish
New data has revealed that 40 per cent of us know someone who has been catfished, while 22 per cent have fallen for catfish themselves.
April Davis, founder and president of LUMA Luxury Matchmaking, has shared five key ways you can catch a catfish.
1. You can’t find them online
Almost everyone has a social media presence – especially those who are willing to try dating apps. So if you can’t find them anywhere online, like a Facebook, Instagram or even LinkedIn account, this could be a major red flag.
April says: “If you’re suspicious, ask to add them on Facebook or Instagram. If they refuse or the account they send you looks new, that’s a red flag.”
2. Conversations got personal, quickly
Catfish are well known for ‘love-bombing,’ which is a form of emotional manipulation.
So, if the person you’re talking to immediately goes over the top with compliments, wants to communicate all the time, and makes statements like ‘I love you’ within a few days of speaking, it’s a big red flag.
3. They don’t open up
If someone is asking a lot of questions about you but is not willing to offer up much in return, this could be a catfish red flag.
This is because these scammers are, of course, not who they say they are and it can be hard for them to keep their lies straight.
As a result, most catfishes would rather not give out any personal info at all if they can help it.
4. They ask for money
Asking for money, no matter the reason, is a huge red flag.
Whether they want a bank transfer or your credit card number, catfishes have a wide range of sob stories to tell when it’s time to try to swindle you out of your cash.
5. They won’t show their face
Unsurprisingly, someone who doesn’t want to show who they are in a video call or real-time pictures could be a catfish.
The last thing a catfish wants is for you to see their real face because they usually steal pictures from someone else to use.
This means they are likely to refuse to send photos or do video calls.
Meanwhile a fourth said: “We don’t pass notes unless we are warning you.”
“You got all the advice you need. They were watching out for you. He probably did something. Listen to them,” claimed a fifth.
Someone else added: “I would heed the warning from kind strangers. They obviously saw you with him and think you deserve better than him. However, he was acting didn’t sit right with them—for whatever reason.”
