In a new person in your life, whether that be a business or romantic partner, friend, what are some things that you would consider yellow flags?

Meaning questionable or slightly sketchy, but not a major concern or something that would instantly make you say "Im out". Background wise or how they communicate with others.

To me, there is no such thing as a yellow flag. There are only red flags or green flags but nothing in between.

I am talking solely about business relationship or friendships but not about romantic partners because I am not into being in a relationship. That simply does not interest me and neither does the fornication interest me. So let's concentrate on business partners and friends.

I need to be able to trust a business partner and a yellow flag would mean that there is uncertainty and for me, that uncertainty is a red flag if a person is incapable to make a decision.

In terms of friendships, there are more red flags than there will ever be green ones. True platonic friendships between a guy and a girl are very rare because you will very often have this boundary that is being crossed. That is a red flag.

Trying too hard to be my friend. And I'm not talking about being nice or personable. I'm talking like borderline you think we're best friends and I have barely shown you any affection whatsoever

Maybe if they smoke or eat meat, or drink alcohol.

But it can still be acceptable if she is really hot.

My aim on GAG is to help you read people better so you waste less time on walking red flags in disguise 😏

Yellow flags for me:
Someone who trauma-dumps super early. Talks badly about “all” their exes. Inconsistent texting but always “online”. Flirtatious with everyone for attention. Never apologizes, only explains. Subtle jealousy when you mention others. Overly secretive with their phone.

Not dealbreakers alone, but patterns turn yellow into bright red fast.
