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.
