“Listening is really a secret superpower”: Women of the Internet Discuss Green Flags in Guys That Kept Them Coming Back for More

Dating is like a balloon filled with random words, feelings, and expectations all floating around in an abyss of confusion. Trying to establish something with someone, going on first, second, and third dates until you find you actually want to stick around with them, it can all be muddled with good times and bad times. Maybe we're naïve, and we don't look at dates through a lens of colored flags. Maybe we go in with a good mood, nearly blind to the negative potentials the person possesses. Maybe we've been hurt before one too many times, and we can't let it happen again. We sealed our heart within a citadel, a fortress only a one trusted and persistent green flag man can penetrate. Whatever your relationship experience is, we all have stories and anecdotes that led us to staying with our partners, or breaking up.

When you know, you know. There's just a raw feeling of love and commitment, excitement for the future with the person. And all of these are wrapped up over time in the dates you take together. Sometimes it's about the little things, the way he looks at you, or the way he was there for you unexpectedly. Maybe it's the fact that he was already calling you adorable and perfect pet names from the beginning. Whatever your partner did to make you feel safe and right with them, this article is for you.

That's so brave of him to just bring her a whole plate of chocolate chip cookies! It's adorable, wholesome, and a very sweet gesture. There's nothing better than gifts of food…pasta, a nice drink, a fancy cheese. It's too difficult to buy clothes or items for people, so food and drink is a perfect way to go, especially if it's homemade.

People who are nice to staff members are also green flags! It's not always as common as you'd think. Some people take the opportunity of eating at a restaurant to simply nag other people, make them wait on their hand and leg, and treat them poorly. If I were on a date with someone doing anything like this, I wouldn't see them again.
