Let’s face it, dating in today’s day & age is HARD. With constant access to dating apps, the options are wide & varied. The minute situations become uncomfortable, let aside difficult, its easy to throw the towel in & move on to the next available person. And there’s always someone available. Finding a loving, stable relationship can be a challenge, but not impossible. For the number of people out there looking to flirt & flit through life, there are probably more looking for meaningful connections. But with ghosting, catfishing, breadcrumming & whatnot, we have to be sharp & aware enough to know where we stand with the people we date. Here are 5 green flags for you to meander your way through early dating stages as advised by Aanchal Gupta.

The other person is genuinely interested in your life…
Your work, your family, your friends, the things you enjoy doing, the things you do not like. Your experiences & everything that has made you the person that you are today.
They are good listeners…
It’s frustrating to be with someone who makes everything about themselves, big or small. A genuine person will really listen to you, without judgment, even about things from your past & remember things you’ve narrated to them.
They do the things they say they will do…
Whether its simply sending a text, calling, making appointments, setting dates. A flaky person will usually say anything to keep you happy in the moment but may not necessarily see it through. You feel you can maybe depend on them & they honour the commitments they’ve made to you.
They involve you in their lives…
I don’t mean you have to live in each other’s pockets all the time, but a lot of what they do is by factoring you in it. Introducing you to friends & family, checking with them before making commitments, and sometimes even planning their schedule around to make time for you. Involving you in their decisions, sometimes even future plans.
You are by & large at peace…
Being in a relationship is not a cake walk, especially when your emotions are involved. But for the most part, if you feel you are happy, you are not tiptoeing around your partner or walking on egg shells with them, you have a sense of calm in their presence, you feel like you have someone you can rely on, whose watching your back, its a major green flag!
