Green flags in a relationship - Dating Video Transcripts
Video 1 Transcript
When it comes to green flags in a relationship, I think one of the most important things is can you communicate with that person? Can you have different types of discussions? And can you like be able to do more than the superficial conversation? I feel like your person, whoever you're with, you're going to need to have a lot of different types of conversations. So can you have those conversations with them? Also, people have ups and downs. So like, how do they react when they are in like a stressful situation? Are they going to just close off themselves? Or are they going to actually talk to you? So that's important. And also another thing is what do their friends say about them? Do they like, are they nice to them? Do they actually talk positively about them? That's also very important to know when you're dating someone.

When a guy doesn't say, what should we do? What do you want to do? When he has a plan, I think that's such a green flag.

I really appreciate when somebody would call me on the phone or ask me out in person. I think that that's just something that shows a lot of respect, and for guys out there, a girl has a harder time saying no on a phone call or in person versus a text message. I also think that a green flag in a relationship is to just feel like you can be 100% yourself. If you're feeling uncomfortable in anything or you don't feel like you can be who you are, then it's probably not the right person for you. So I think just being comfortable with who you are while you're on a date with that person is a really good sign.

A major green flag is when she knows how to hold a kid. Like, say you go over to your friend's house and they got like little kids or like a baby and she knows how to hold them. Or another green flag is when she's competitive in like games or sports. I'm not saying you have to be the best on your sports team. I'm just saying you got to actually have some drive. Somewhat coordinated, has a strong testimony of the gospel. That's a huge one for me. Has a desire to learn and loves music. Someone who loves people for who they are, for who they're trying to be. It's not judgmental. Charismatic, you know. I don't know man, there's just a lot.

I would say a green flag in a relationship would be like the girl's not planning all the dates and the guy takes the initiative to plan a bunch of the dates and is like, hey babe, you want to go on this date at this time and plans everything out? Like, granted there are times where asking the girl what she wants to do isn't great, but taking the initiative to plan the entire thing so the girl doesn't have to worry about it, I think is a green flag. Just doesn't have to be all the time.

The biggest green flag I could say I've seen in a relationship is if the person you're dating is sincerely attracted to you. That's just kind of one of those fundamental things that all people care about. It's always going to be part of the undercurrent of your relationship. And so if that is there, definitely, you know, protect that, preserve that as much as you can. But if that's not there, I would, I don't think I would recommend staying in that relationship.

Automatically, if you ask them what their favorite movie is and they answer with a sports movie, I don't even think it depends on what the sports movie is. Automatic green flag. And if they say The Sandlot, that's an automatic proposal, fellas. Like, that's a proceed with no caution. Like, green flags all the way.

A big green flag in relationships for me is when I'm a priority and I can see that based on actions. When they say, no I want you to come or oh well I wanted to do this but I rather hang out with you or hey I would really love for you to come so I can still see you. Those are really big green flags to know that you are wanted and want to be a priority.

Personally, a green flag for me is communication. I know I said that earlier in one of the other videos, but it really is when somebody can just be upfront. The guy that I'm currently dating, on our second official date, or third date, however you want to say it, he knocked on my door and I answered it and I was like, hey, just so you know, I'm in a bad mood. And he was like, okay, great. Just do whatever you need in the car, take a nap, listen to whatever music you want, be quiet, talk, whatever. And it was so needed. And it honestly was what kind of kept me around because I was like, I'm me myself and he'll tell me his thoughts and he'll communicate and he allows me to communicate. I mean, what's better than that? So I loved that. I also love seeing someone who has goals and ambitions and is willing to improve and change, not just like for me or in our relationship, but for himself. And so I find that really attractive.

I think a good green flag is when someone is aware of the needs of others and sensitive to them, when they can recognize that someone is feeling a certain way if they're sad or upset. Of course they're not going to be perfect and not understand every emotion that anyone is ever feeling, but I feel like if they're at least aware and they try to be considerate and kind and thoughtful of others, I think that's a really good sign.

I think it's important to feel like you can talk about what's hard for you easily with them. That they listen, they don't necessarily try to like repair the problem, they just like support. Then when you're ready to repair the problem, then like you repair it with them. It's actually the main one coming to mine right now, but it's a pretty good one.

I think a green flag in a relationship is when the other person is just very kind and like just as little acts of kindness for the the person that they're dating. And also I feel like it's a big indicator of the way a guy treats his mom because so if they treat their mom well I feel like that's a big green flag.

Green flag is when you're, like, apart for a long time, but you still, like, really want to talk to this person every single day. I think this is true, or I've seen this be true, because my sister did a study abroad when she was dating a guy, and she came home wanting to marry him because she realized that she missed him so much, and she had to call him every single day because she just loved him.
