At some point after a divorce, someone is going to ask if you are ready to start dating again. And even if the answer is yes, there is often a quieter question sitting underneath it: what if I miss the signs again?

In this episode, Angie sits down with Justin Smith, a Tampa-based entrepreneur and the founder of Cray, a dating and relationship safety app built around more than 70 research-backed red flags. Justin created it after his own eight-year relationship ended in a way he never saw coming, and after doing the long, unglamorous work of figuring out what he had missed.

This conversation is less about apps than it is about awareness. Justin walks through the two red flags he says show up fastest and matter most, why you are dating someone's representative for the first six to twelve months, and the question he keeps coming back to when words and behavior do not match. He and Angie also get into how long to wait before introducing a partner to your kids, how the same red flag framework applies to a co-parenting relationship, and why walls up after heartbreak tends to attract exactly the wrong people.

There is also a clear-eyed caution in here that we think matters. Understanding red flags is not the same as diagnosing someone, and Justin is direct about the difference.
