A lot of folks are familiar with the term “red flag” as it relates to relationships. A red flag is indicative of something unhealthy in a relationship. It can be something that gives a person pause, could indicate a relationship is past its expiration date, or could act as a warning of unhealthy or even harmful behaviors. While it is important to be mindful of red flags, it is also important to know what “green flags” can look like. A green flag is indicative of healthy behavior in relationships, and thinking about them can help you navigate healthy communication, trust, and respect in all types of interpersonal dynamics. One important thing to note: Both healthy and unhealthy behaviors can exist in a single relationship, and the presence of any green flags do not negate the red flags.

Some examples of green flags are:

Treating each other as equals.

Taking time to calm down before talking when upset.

Respecting each other’s hobbies.

Making space for the other’s friends and social lives.

Making sure everyone in the relationship is treated fairly.

Listening to understand each other (as opposed to listening for a chance to talk).

Supporting each other’s goals, even if they are different from our own.

Committing to being self-reflective in relationships.

Compromising fairly.

Communicating our boundaries and respecting each other’s.

Practicing consent in all aspects of our relationships.

Seeking mutually satisfying resolutions to conflicts .

Mutually agreeing on a fair distribution of work

Making sure partners all benefit from financial arrangements.

Committing to honesty.

When it comes to forming new relationships or friendship, people usually base their first impression off of how the other person makes them feel. If they’re nice to you, you start to believe that this could be something long lasting and if they’re not, you’re often left wondering just why they weren’t. Though you can sometimes walk away not knowing that a person isn’t a fan of you, it is common knowledge that people crossing their arms while speaking to you or looking elsewhere when doing the same are ways to know that your hopeful new relationships isn’t going far. According to international consultant, speaker, host, and best-selling author Ali Craig, however, there are plenty of indicators that someone may not be fond of you the way you are of them. "Believe it or not, the distance someone keeps from you, whether or not their arms are crossed, lack of eye contact, forced smiles and other nonverbal behaviors can and sometimes are indicators as to whether or not someone likes you," she said. "This is not always the case, however, and just like any rule, there are always exceptions. But many times, if people are displaying two, three or four of the signs listed below, there’s a good chance they might consider you a foe versus friend." Although creating new bonds are often beneficial, here are 10 ways to know that your efforts to form a new relationship won’t go the way you expected.
