I especially cringe whenever I hear about some supposed dating expert giving advice like there's some science involved in dating. For example, they give BS like "Top 10 things not to say on the first date" or "Red flags to watch for when dating someone."

It's all just crap. The complexities of human emotion and attraction cannot be formulized into simple lists of do's and don'ts. People can be vastly different, and subjective dating advice should be completely ignored.

Trust in your own intuition when it comes to emotional matters, and you'll find your way.
