Dating Advice: Red flags to look out for on a first date

A US woman who ditched her corporate career to become a stay-at-home girlfriend is sharing her top tips to help other females lead a more leisurely lifestyle.

Emily de Rean, 37, previously worked as a financial analyst for six years, but now lives off her boyfriend’s money after realising she was unhappy working 9-5.

“You don’t have to just be a stay-at-home mum, you can aspire to be a young child-free woman and not work,” she said.

“I spend my hours doing what I want and have time to look after my body, cook nice meals and spend quality time with friends.”

Emily said during her stint in finance, she experienced burn out by the long hours and lack of annual leave.

But it was only when her dying father told her that life was too short to be unhappy that she decided to pack it all in.

Initially Emily, from Dallas, Texas, began working as a nanny — but the child care gig didn’t last long.

Soon after, she met her boyfriend, Michael, 40, whose large income allowed her to give up work altogether.

“He encouraged me to stop working and become a stay-at-home girlfriend, so I could have time to do something more productive,” she declared, adding she is no longer “restricted” by a job.

Emily now hopes to become an author and is giving advice to other women looking to leave the workforce.

The stay-at-home — who is now engaged to Michael — says her top tip to becoming a full-time girlfriend is to date a man who can afford to fund the lifestyle.

“There is nothing wrong with a man who wants to be a teacher but if your goal is to be a stay-at-home girlfriend then he’ll never be able to provide for that,” she claimed.

“You have to be choosey and only date from pool of men that meet your requirements.”

“They need to be financially viable for your needs,” she continued.

“You don’t know how a man is going to end up even if he has potential. You should date the finished product.”

Emily says a woman can determine whether a partner is willing to provide for her on the very first date, saying: “He should invite you to dinner, not coffee, and if he is asking to split the bill that’s a red flag.”
