A woman was left shocked after she was passed an ominous note by a stranger during a recent date.
The woman going by the name Hadia was enjoying a coffee with a man recently when he got up and went to the toilet.
As he left, another customer then passed her a short note, warning her of a number of 'red flags' they had spotted regarding her date.

The message, which was shared to Hadia's Twitter account, read: "Too many red flags. Run. Be safe girl."
The note was shared with the caption: "I had coffee with a guy yesterday. When he went to the bathroom, the gay guy sitting behind me passed me this note."
Commenting on the post, one user asked: "I can't help but wonder how bright red those flags were for a complete stranger notice AND write a warning note. Big yikes."

To which Hadia replied: "As bright as my red nails."
Adding: "It honestly wasn't THAT bad....until after he came out the bathroom. Everything he said after the note was a major red flag."
Speaking to LADbible, Hadia revealed that she carried on with the date despite seeing the signs that he wasn't the one.
She said: "I picked up on the weird vibes right away, but I was very amused. I did stay after I got the note, we ended up having coffee for almost four hours.

"He wasn't dangerous at all, just had some very outlandish and slightly misogynistic thoughts.
"I felt the need to stay and debate him on almost everything, but my angel was behind me the whole time. Probably judging me."
Unsurprisingly, she confirmed that they wouldn't be meeting up again.

"There definitely won't be a second date," she concluded.
Since she shared the note, Hadia's mysterious stranger has been praised for stepping in and offering his help.
"If I got that note I'd have immediately given him the 'appreciate it' head nod and ended the date early. Nobody is going to see a man's red flags faster than another man," said one person.
Echoing this, another chimed in: "Not to be dramatic but this advice could literally save your life."

"Not all girls are great at picking up on the signs - I've missed a few, so to have an outsider who is objective to the scenario notice these signs. It just may have been a genuine warning," commented a third.
And sharing their own experience of being unsure during a date, another added: "I once went on a drink date and the bartender was super nice to me and kind of rude to my date. I remembered wondering if that was a red flag. Turned out it was and he was right."
