The note said: "Too many red flags. Run. Be safe girl."

She added: "It honestly wasn’t THAT bad….until after he came out the bathroom. Everything he said after the note was a major red flag."

The tweet has garnered lots of attention - with more than 389,000 likes, 35,000 retweets and 4,700 quote tweets in just a few days.

One person replied: "Did you listen? cause if anyone knows men better, it’s GAY MEN."

A second agreed, writing: "I can't help but wonder how bright red those flags were for a complete stranger to notice AND write a warning note. Big yikes."

"Men who date men know men.. you might wanna listen girl, ijs," said another.

Another wrote: "I’m not saying believe him sis but.....BELIEVE HIM SIS"

But not everybody was impressed.

"Why not just turn around and say that instead of writing it down?" asked one.

Another user joked: "What kind of psychopath randomly capitalizes the last letter of the sentence"

"This sounds like a fun night out! I'll go hang in Starbucks, listening in on conversations, and pass notes saying "red flag" and "run". How many of those freaky guys turn out to be the woman's husband? " another asked.
