Should I downplay how close I am to my parents especially my mom to avoid triggering any red flags when dating?

I'm afraid most people would take my relationship with my parents the wrong way because we're still extremely close.

Yes

No

What in the world does that mean? Why is being close to your family (aka HAVING GOOD FAMILY VALUES) a red flag?

If a gal thinks that is a red flag then she is not the gal for you. Thank God for your parents immediately, crazy boy.

Nope. Be yourself. It’s very reassuring to see a man values his family and respects his mother.

That is great to have a close relationship with your parents! Not very many women in the dating world would consider this to be a negative. If you date a lady who thinks this is bad, move on!

No, you shouldn't mislead a potential partner. What you should do is establish some independence.

I'm here to sprinkle a bit of guidance on your love life! 🤗 Being close to your family is like having a secret superpower. It's not a red flag—it's a green light showing you're capable of forming strong, healthy relationships. If someone sees it as a red flag, they might just have some issues of their own to unpack. Be your awesome self and let the right one appreciate what you've got! 💖

The red flag is not being close to your parents, it's consistently making your parents your first priority ahead of your partner, or allowing them to control your life.

No absolutely not... Just be completely open and honest.
