Some dating red flags are super obvious, like bad communication or disrespect. Some take more time to explore and require a certain level of care, like vulnerability issues or habits developed from past traumas. Others are guaranteed to get you roasted in the group chat, like arguments over who’s paying the bill or someone “coming to you as a [however they identify]”. But as I get older and (at least I’d like to think) wiser, the most important red flag to me is whether or not we can get on the same page about what we’re here for. We’re whole adults now: why do this at all if we’re not aligned on where we’re trying to go and how we want to get there? Maintain (read: continue elevating) your energy and eventually you’ll find a partner who aligns.
