It’s been a few days since Valentine’s Day, and if you’re having second thoughts about your brand new boo, here are a few red flags you might have missed.<\/p>\n
1. If they post a picture of the snowy mountains and a view of the sea and caption it \u201cThis is my Lebanon\u201d <\/b><\/p>\n
…or a picture of a church and mosque next to each other.<\/p>\n
2. If they still support a Lebanese political party.<\/b><\/p>\n
3. If they mistake self-confidence for self-obsession, aka all they talk about is how amazing they are<\/b><\/p>\n
4. When they ask you about your accent to try to trace your religion<\/b><\/p>\n
Baddak l hawiyye fared marra?<\/p>\n
5. Or if they say they never dated someone \u201cmen 3endkon\u201d <\/b><\/p>\n
Are you collecting medals walla shu?<\/p>\n
6. If they’ve uttered the phrase, \u201cAna ma3 ho2oo2 l mar2a bas 3am b zeedowa shway\u201d <\/b><\/p>\n
7. OR: \u201cAna behterem l gays bas ma y2arbo sawbe\u201d<\/b><\/p>\n
8. If they say \u201chabibe\u201d and wink at the valet before handing them the money<\/b><\/p>\n
MAJOR red flag.<\/p>\n
9. When they listen to Wadih El Sheikh<\/b><\/p>\n
10. And if they dedicate a song to you in public and it goes \u201cLamma dommek 3a sdere\u201d<\/b><\/p>\n
\u2026ya ared nsha22e w bla3eene.<\/p>\n
11. If they ever point out that they\u2019re \u201copen-minded\u201d… <\/b><\/p>\n
12. Then proceed to be sexist, racist, and homophobic. <\/b><\/p>\n
13. If they think it’s charming to be grossly possessive.<\/b><\/p>\n
“Meen hayda el shabb 3al Facebook 3indik?”<\/p>\n
14. When they call Lebanese politicians \u201cgeniuses\u201d cos sara2o l balad and got away with it<\/b><\/p>\n
15. When they say they\u2019re not going to vote in the elections<\/b><\/p>\n
Especially if they add \u201ccause [insert party name] nsahabo\u201d.<\/p>\n
16. When they say you can ski and go swimming on the same day unironically<\/b><\/p>\n
17. When they try to convince you that the vaccine contains a microchip or is going to kill you in ten years<\/b><\/p>\n
