A few weeks ago, TikToker Alexa (@lifewithlex444) had to end things with a guy she had been dating after he spent the night at her place.
She realized that it was actually a long time coming, and there were many red flags about him that now stood out to her.
For one, he used her bathroom the next morning and did not flush the toilet. Plus, there was urine all over the seat. Then, he proceeded to lie in bed and scroll on his phone while she cooked breakfast in the kitchen. After he ate breakfast, he didn’t offer to help clean up and left all his dishes on the counter.
“And until this happened, there really weren’t any major red flags that I had noticed until I started reflecting on little things that were bothering me here and there, of things that he was doing on our other dates,” said Alexa.
On their fourth date, they went bowling. They had to wait for their lane to be ready, so they decided to go to the bar to kill time. They wanted to get drinks, but he had forgotten his wallet at home, which had his driver’s license in it. He planned to show the bartender a picture of his license on his phone.
Alexa told him that it was not going to work and that he would need his physical license. Of course, she was right. The bartender said the very same thing.
Alexa could tell that he was fuming on the inside. Neither of them ended up getting drinks. They went over to a pool table, and a few minutes into playing, he asked Alexa to order drinks for both of them.
Again, she told him that wasn’t going to work, but she agreed to it anyway. He also made a comment about how he typically would never make her pay for her own drink, but since he had left his wallet at home, there was nothing to be done about it. This rubbed her the wrong way because mobile payment services existed.
“When we get to the lane, he puts in the wrong name for me in our game,” she said. “Instead of Alexa, he wrote Alexis. Mind you, he had never called me Alexis once up until that point, and I called him out.”

He acted embarrassed that he had written down the wrong name, but she thought it was odd and felt like he might be faking. Then, they started bowling.
While they were playing, one of the servers approached and asked if they wanted anything to eat or drink. He took the opportunity to order his drink.
She was super frustrated with him because he seemed like an impatient person. He couldn’t wait to get his precious alcohol and came up with an elaborate plan for her to buy them drinks. In the end, he was able to get his alcohol anyway.
“The final thing that made my ick go over the edge was how bad this man was at bowling,” Alexa said.
“I’m not good at bowling. Like, I’m lucky sometimes if I can even break a hundred. This man was getting gutter balls like every single shot. In fact, I have never seen such horrific bowling form in my life.”
Normally, she wouldn’t care about someone’s athletic abilities, but since he had already annoyed her pretty badly, it was the final straw for her.
