This also serves as a checklist to help you identify the red or green flags you may encounter in a relationship. If you are dating someone you really like and find that they don’t have all the green flag traits, don’t be overly concerned. In that case, this may be a guide on how to improve your relationship.

On the other hand, if you find that your current partner has more than half red flags qualities, you may want to re-evaluate whether the relationship is truly healthy for you. Shoutout to Michael Katahena and the Sankofa Fixers for emphasizing that in every episode.

Note that the signs you see in your partner aren’t always red flags. For example, if you don’t like the manner in which they chew their food in public, is this a reason to break up with them? Of course not, but you should not be blind to an abusive partner.

Now, join in the fun and take this poll to find out your odds.
