Ciara, also known as the “guru of relationships,” shared what she believes are red flags for women who are dating.

In a new interview for The Zeze Millz Show, she said a man with “loads” of female friends could be a red flag. During the discussion, she gave her ranking of dating scenarios.

“Well, I think that when someone’s in a serious relationship, we can’t be too turnt up with friends. Not too turned up,” Ciara explained.

“I don’t trip about, like, a guy having friends, but if it’s a lot, I think that’s a little concerning,” she said. “So we’re gonna give it a seven.”

Ciara also explained why ranking the situation is complicated and circumstantial.

“There are some guys that get along with girls really, like, well … A lot of my close friends are girls. But I do get along really well with guys. One of my closest friends since I was 14 years old, his name is Jasper. He’s like one of my closest boys, and we don’t talk every day, but we talk all the time. Russ knows him, like, it’s all good,” Ciara said.

“So I think that the dynamics are important,” she continued. “How about that? So it’s hard for me to rate that because it depends on the situation, right? If I’m cool with the girls, and I know, I feel good, it’s like, OK. Like, sometimes guys just get along really well with girls.”

She also noted that you can’t always choose who you work with.

“People sometimes in business they have to work with girls sometimes in business,” Ciara said.

“I mean, I think that when men are in serious relationships. They don’t have tons of female friends they talk to every day. Now they may have a lot of acquaintances, and that’s fine.”
