Everyone warns you about red flags in a relationship but I want to hear about green flags
So here’s some. Add your own if you’d like!
* listens to you talk when you have issues and supports you through them
* stops doing things you tell them make you uncomfortable
* compromises when necessary
* never puts you down deliberately, especially not publically
* supports your ambitions
* uses a calm rational tone during arguments
* is able to apologise when they’re in the wrong
* aids your growth process
* provides you with time and support as you need it but still prioritizes themselves first
* wants to get to know your friends
* has their own friends too
* respects your financial situation & considers it when making plans
* thanks you for speaking your mind
* acknowledges & plans for potential negative outcomes
* treats you like a friend, in addition to a romantic partner
* is clear with communication, letting you know their boundaries while also respecting yours
* makes you find yourself being your fun natural weird self around them, not feeling like you have to put up a mask or a front. (Hint: if you feel like you can completely be yourself around them, flaws and all, and they love and accept you, that’s a real good green flag.)
* makes you unafraid to talk about serious things with them
* thinks you’re beautiful no matter you’re body type, clothes, makeup, etc.
* actively wants to know what makes you comfortable/uncomfortable
