Humorous Take: If your gut feeling during a date is reminiscent of the time you ate gas station sushi, perhaps it’s best to trust that instinct and run.​

Original Advice: Establish clear boundaries early in the relationship.​
Humorous Take: If your new partner starts planning your wedding after the second date, it might be time to set a boundary—or a restraining order.​
