When it comes to love, it’s easy to get caught up in the drama of red flags. But equally important are the green flags: the subtle, positive signs that show a relationship is worth investing in.
Green flags are behaviours and patterns that signal you're in a relationship with someone who truly values you and what you bring to the table. It's a sign that your connection is healthy, respectful, and built to last.
If you and your partner talk, really talk, about any and everything under the sun, especially the things that scare you — that's an obvious green flag.
If they understand when you need space, don’t guilt you for taking it, and make you feel free instead of fenced in — that’s a green flag.
If you can be your unfiltered, quirky self without worrying how it’ll be received — that’s a not so common and beautiful green flag.
If your partner celebrates your wins, encourages your independence, and never makes you choose between love and ambition — that’s a green flag.
If disagreements don’t turn into battles or ghosting each other for days, it's safe to say you care more about understanding than winning. Green flag all the way!
If your values line up where it matters — how you treat people, what you want out of life (and maybe even how you take your coffee) — that’s a solid green flag.
If you don’t have to second-guess texts, silences, or motives, because trust just… exists — that’s a major green flag.
At the end of the day, if your relationship feels steady, grounding, and real — that’s the greenest flag of all.
