Is this woman long term material or trouble?

[bob the brave]

Met a women 38 years old. She has a wonderful personality, great communication skills and good at her job as office manager.

Problem is she although she is very friendly, she seems to take friendship lightly more as a convenience then a bonding (both men and women), she readily has casual sex, has a 3 year old son she does not have custody of, likes to party, smokes, makes subtle sexual comments and has a DWI. She also seems to be somewhat fickle in dating, that is, switching back and forth between guys.

I know this girl sounds like trouble, but I get the feeling she is looking for stability in her life and is really very sweet. Do you think I she would be capable of having a long-term relationship?

She's trouble. Real trouble for guys that are looking for something serious. She's the type to break hearts and ignore cries haha.
Don't go with her unless you're looking for some casual sex.

Not having custody of her son is only real red flag I see..... a big one

[Wakeup]

She has a DWI and no custody..Plus she flip flops back and forth between a few guys ... there's three red flags in one three sentence paragraph that says loud and clear she's not ready to be in any type of monogamous, functional, non-addicted to some substance relationship.

Do you think I she would be capable of having a long-term relationship?

Even if she did (doubtful) you're not the one to have it with her. You can't even spot red flag behaviour or, worse. You can but you ignore them anyway and still contemplate getting involved in her hot mess.
