When Your Date Might Be TOO Into Their Ride

A TikToker named Mia Saint just dropped a bomb on car?obsessed guys, claiming their automotive addiction might be a major red flag for cheating or flakiness—like, “if he wears a dangly cross earring, run” tier of red flag. (PSST – just a reminder that OBC is giving away the ultimate car to love – a Porsche!)
Here’s the gist, car-guy edition:
1. “His car is his baby” vibes
He’s not texting you—he’s obsessively buffing that hood. Passion is cute… until you realize you’ve seen more sunsets through his rearview mirror than any of your daydreams together.
2. Red-flag gear check
Sticker city on his bumper? Dangly earring AND that air freshener shaped like a scrotum hanging from the rearview? Glamour flagged these as immediate dealbreakers: “balls” ornaments and hateful bumper stickers scream get-out glamour.com.
3. Racing flex
Maybe he’s revving to prove something—whether it’s his street cred or… you guessed it… his attention is always caught by those sweet lines on a hood, not your texts. Glance at how he treats his exes or the barista—rudeness there equals disrespect to you too .
4. Hot?n?cold IRL
One minute he’s all “let’s go to Cars & Coffee,” next, ghost-city. That’s the hallmark of a guy who’s in love—with vibes, rare mods, clout—not you. Classic love?bombing, then disappearing act (a modern dating staple)
5. No introduction to his crew
You’ve heard him name-drop his tuner friends or mechanic, but you’ve never met any of them? Cue first date red flags: if he’s not introducing you to his circle after a while, maybe he’s not serious. Glamour points out dodging that is a typical sketch move .
TL;DR:
- He sent a pic of his car but not his friends.
- His #1 investment is car parts, not your dates.
- Weird accessories = weird mindset.
- He brags to his mechanic more than he listens to you.
So… Is every car guy doomed?
Nah. Not every gearhead is a ghoster or cheater. Some balance car passion and actual connection—but if he’s literally shifting gears more than showing up for you, consider bailing.

If you’re vibing with a guy who revs louder than he talks, maybe ask: “Bro, how many texts have I gotten this week?” If the answer is “…um, zero,” consider this your permission slip: shift gears and peel out.
Bottom line: OBC is where singles with all sorts of hobbies meet and hook up. Join today!
