In a video on X, the young lady said she would rather order non-Ghanaian meals and leave a good impression on her date.
She indicated that only uncouth people eat a local dish on their first date with a potential lover.
"Why should I eat a local dish? I'm not a bush girl. Maybe on the second date you can order fufu or banku, but if you do that on a first date, it's a red flag."

She stated that the local meals will be reserved for when she is home, with her friends or on a second date and beyond.
The lady added that another thing she considers a red flag is loud people.
She claimed she does not like people who can shout and speak anyhow. She would prefer someone who calls his girlfriend 'mama.'
