Vancouverites Share Dating Deal Breakers That Only Locals Will Understand & They're So Real
"She's a 10 but wants to line up at Jam Cafe."

The people of Vancouver Reddit are calling out all of the red flags that would make a budding relationship come to a halt — no matter how perfect it was otherwise.
