a list of green flags 📗
i was rewatching horimiya yesterday and tweeted a list of green flags in people on a whim. apparently the algorithm was feeling pretty loving, and it ended up getting 1k+ likes.
naturally, i’m just going to extensively list off random (and sometimes oddly specific) green flags that i appreciate in any person:
speaks fondly about their siblings
actually has a hobby and carves out time for it
bonus points if it’s a particularly niche hobby
enjoys cooking
takes feedback like a champ
always reading something new
has watched horimiya and enjoyed it
holds doors open
enjoys hosting
wakes up between 7-9am every morning
laughs easily
doesn’t actively do drugs or drink
has an itch to explore (new food, places, skills, etc.)
dishes out very specific compliments
stays up until 12:00am to wish their closest friends and family happy birthday
has a higher purpose beyond accumulating financial wealth
smiles big or waves excitedly at friends from a distance
has a memory box
spells out “you” instead of “u” in texts
chooses water over soda at dining halls
knows how to listen
asks really interesting questions
+ many more. :)
i also wanted to make a small point that a non-green flag ≠ red flag. a lot of people take personal offense to not “meeting” specific green flags, but that doesn’t necessarily mean you’ve suddenly fallen into the red flag bucket, LOL. it’s just not a +1, and that doesn’t imply the opposite is a -1.
