Red Flags vs Green Flags: A Heart-Centered Approach to Dating
Hey Big-Heart Beauty, are you tired of second-guessing your dating choices? 😩💭
We’ve all been there—wondering if we’re overreacting to a red flag or missing out on a green flag because of old fears. The truth? Your heart knows the way—you just have to learn to listen to it.
This guide will help you recognize potential toxic patterns (red flags) and healthy behaviors (green flags) so you can navigate dating with confidence. 🌿💖
🚩 5 Red Flags That Shouldn’t Be Ignored
❌ 1. Inconsistent Communication
If they text one day and disappear the next, they’re not prioritizing you. 🚫
A relationship should feel consistent, not confusing.
❌ 2. Disrespecting Boundaries
Do they push your limits or make you feel guilty for saying no? 🚨
Healthy love respects your space, energy, and emotional needs.
❌ 3. Love-Bombing (Then Pulling Away)
If they overwhelm you with attention early on, only to withdraw suddenly, this is a manipulation tactic. 🚫
Steady love doesn’t feel like a rollercoaster—it feels secure.
❌ 4. Lack of Emotional Availability
If they avoid deep conversations, refuse to discuss feelings, or joke about "not wanting anything serious," believe them. 🚨
You deserve emotional reciprocity, not confusion.
❌ 5. Avoiding Accountability
Do they blame everyone else for their mistakes? 🛑
Healthy relationships require self-awareness and accountability.
