Red flag, green light I should have known when he started crying and telling me all his insecurities on our very first date I did think to myself, wow, this kid sure has boundary issues. But when he ripped off his shell, I saw that his bruises looked like mine. How could I expect to be loved if I turned away from someone broken like me Red flag, green light Imagine my surprise later on when I realized that this kid sure has boundary issues Yellow light I tell them to pump the brakes and he nods his head and keep going at full speed because he can only see a Green light. Red flag. Game over.
