From comedian and beloved host of The J-Train and U UP? podcasts, and the Betches' favorite guy friend Jared Freid comes Walking Red Flag—an honest, earnest, and laugh-out-loud dating advice book.

YOU’RE NOT CRAZY. Dating right now is wild.

One minute he’s planning a romantic weekend getaway, the next he “isn’t sure what he’s looking for.” He watches your Instagram stories instantly but takes twelve hours to text back. If it feels like it makes no sense, you’re not alone.

Jared Freid has been there, and he’s also been that guy. He’s given advice, ignored advice, dated well, dated badly, and stared at a confusing 2:00 a.m. text wondering what just happened. He’s the guy who knows what men are thinking, and explains it without defending them. No bro-code excuses. Just honest decoding of the behavior driving you and your group chat insane.

In Walking Red Flag, Jared doesn’t just describe modern dating—he helps figure out you how to get through it with humor and understanding. Because dating today isn’t just mixed signals and inflated egos—it’s real emotion colliding with people who don’t know what they’re doing, but are still trying their best. Inside, he tackles:

- Getting Dates: How to meet people IRL, conquer dating apps (stop hiding your face in pictures!), and set boundaries.
- Hooking Up: Navigating first dates, the “ick,” and intimacy.
- Milestones: Holidays, birthdays, and all the tests of a new relationship.
- Breaking Up: Surviving heartbreak without alienating your friends.
- Loving Singledom: Why being single isn’t a red flag—it’s a power move.
- Staying Hopeful
