When I read this in a woman's profile a red flag goes up! Is this something that needs to be said, especially in the caption? It tells me that she has trust issues that she hasn't worked out yet and maybe isn't ready for dating again yet. Am I mistaken?

Nope...same as when I read hard working and fun loving in the same sentence...to me thats a workaholic who has not time to have a relationship either and just after a quick thrill...perhaps Im wrong

In my experience, you're right on the money. It means they've already been through a cheating episode and were badly burned. They're not over it, and that's why it's in the profile -- I mean, as a general matter of common sense, I think most of us bring an implicit "I would prefer a non-cheater" mindset to the table, but to put it up front like that shows some residual, lingering fear --

And the sad part is that these are often the people who tend to overreact and see (imagine) signs of cheating in the NEXT relationship, even when it isn't there....

You are probably right that she has trust issues, obviously....

but not ready to date yet?....I think I would have to read more of her profile to determine if that is true....just because someone cheated on you & now you are skeptical when it comes to 'trust' doesn't mean you can't go out there looking for someone that can be trusted....

i think that is mentioned in my profile, now, while thats something i want in a relationship is to be with someone that wont cheat on me, and yes i'm gonna flat out say it, cause just cause someone should know you dont wanna be cheated on doesnt mean that really know it, okay thats confusing i think but oh well,

i trust untill the person i'm with gives me a good reason not to,

To me....I will go into a relationship when the barriers are down on both sides...Mine are down thats for sure...but I do attract men who are still very hung up on their ex girlfriends...dont find the anger thing a turn on at all...

can you really meet someone on here?

Good point you have made too...Im chilled until I get treated with contempt...then by Christ.... and you know what they are always shocked...

I suppose its possible...with honesty...which breeds trust...which leads to everything else thats good...

You are correct.....this person does have trust issues...and she doesn't sound very happy or confident of herself.....

Honesty & Trust are the Two biggies for me....throw in a little 'respect', mix with Love & Kindness....Candlelight....and we have the ingredients for Togetherness....

communication at all cost is key

well she is being honest ..

if you have the words ur suppose to make her feel comfortable...and convince and proove that u wont cheat ..

it may not be easy but niether is life !! .lol !!

Wise words in some respect...Its all a case of responsibility...if you approach someone its time to be kind and thoughtful and respectful....dont just intrude and expect them to change and tow the line...

to me & i know that what ever i type you guy's will thin it's the oposit that she has probably found someone in the past someone she loved & thought loved her back, maybe even gotten mairyed then found out that he was sleeping around, if this i the case i have these word to say to her, 'not all guy's are horibal imiture peple like that, you will probably find one some day, good luck & enjoy your self here @ JSH, & if people start flaming you troll them back & lol @ your comp screen'

sorry about dubbel post do not know what happened there.

The way I look at it, you are basically marketing yourself...
Think of it as maybe a car ad...you want to showcase all of the positive features of you, and not focus on any past issues or negatives. Everyone has a negative or two, regardless of how significant they are.

Showcase your positive features, and let someone discover any negatives after they have met you and gotten to know you. If your positives are strong enough, they will be able to overlook some, if not all, of your negatives.

good point

No, that's not a red flag. That's good common sense to put that statement out there...so that the creeps can stay away!
