First Date Green Flags: Signs It’s Actually Going Well

Not every first date is a hidden red flag. Some are actually normal — sweet, genuine, and worth your precious time. Here’s how to know.

✅ 1. They’re On Time—And Present

Showing up late, scrolling their phone all night? Nope. Green flag: they’re on time, phone down, eyes on you.

✅ 2. They Ask Real Questions

Not just “What do you do?” but “What makes you happiest?” They want to know you, not just kill awkward silence.

✅ 3. They Respect Boundaries

If you say you don’t drink, they don’t push. If you don’t want to talk about exes, they change the subject. Huge.

✅ 4. They Talk About the Future (Without Pressure)

They say “next time” without being clingy. They’re hinting they’d like to see you again — without planning your wedding in week one.

Final Thought

Green flags on a first date don’t scream — they feel calm, comfortable, and clear. Trust that vibe. It usually tells you everything you need to know.
