Discover your dating red flags
Everyone has red flags—behaviors or traits that might be warning signs to potential partners. This quiz will help you identify yours (and your green flags too!).
Answer 20 questions honestly. At the end, you'll see which red flags you have and which green flags make you great. No judgment—just fun self-reflection!
A red flag is a warning sign or behavior that might indicate potential problems in a relationship. These can include poor communication habits, controlling behavior, dishonesty, lack of respect for boundaries, and other traits that could lead to an unhealthy relationship dynamic.
Common red flags include: excessive jealousy or possessiveness, poor communication skills, disrespecting boundaries, love bombing followed by withdrawal, being overly critical, refusing to take responsibility, secretive behavior, and inability to handle conflict maturely. However, everyone has some less-than-perfect traits!
Green flags are positive signs that indicate healthy relationship potential. These include: good communication skills, respecting boundaries, emotional availability, taking responsibility for actions, showing consistent behavior, being supportive, and demonstrating genuine interest in your wellbeing and growth.
There's no magic number—it depends on the severity of the flags and whether the person is willing to work on them. Some red flags (like abuse or manipulation) are dealbreakers regardless of quantity. Minor red flags that someone acknowledges and works on are less concerning than even a few that are dismissed or denied.
Yes! Many red flags are behaviors that can be changed with self-awareness and effort. The key is whether someone acknowledges their problematic patterns and actively works to improve. Personal growth, therapy, and honest self-reflection can help turn some red flags into green ones over time.
This quiz is designed for entertainment and self-reflection, not clinical assessment. It can help you think about relationship patterns, but real self-awareness comes from honest reflection, feedback from trusted people, and possibly professional guidance. Take the results as conversation starters, not diagnoses!
Your score shows behaviors from the quiz that might be challenging in relationships. Everyone has some! The important thing is awareness. Knowing your red flags helps you work on them. And don't forget your green flags—those are just as important!
That's up to you! Sharing results can be a fun conversation starter and show self-awareness. However, this is just for fun—real relationship discussions should be deeper than a quiz. Use it as a starting point for honest conversations about growth areas.
