is chewing with their mouth open and spewing food everywhere may be a red flag or maybe you've had bigger red flags like if they bore you to death or can't stop talking about past relationships or has an odd obsession with cat outfits you might be ticking off the red flags so much that you miss out on the green flags that's right there are good things about the person sitting in front of you so here are six green flags on dating you should be aware of number one you can talk for hours but it seems like
minutes you can lose your sense of time when you're with the right person sometimes hours can pass by when a lively conversation with a great date grabs your attention this could be a sign that you genuinely enjoy hanging out with your date and aren't just checking off boxes to see if they're a perfect fit for you number two they actively listen to you if your date makes it a point to keep up a healthy conversation with you like remembering to route back to certain topics and refers back to points you made earlier that's a green
flag this means that they are actively listening to you they'll genuinely keep the conversation going because they want to hear what you have to say when you like someone you want to know as much as you can about them what are their interests what's their taste in music what tv shows are they watching what kind of hobbies are they into what makes them laugh you want to get to know these things about your date because you're interested in them and want to show enthusiasm and getting to know them better if they show that same level
of enthusiasm and getting to know you then that's a very good sign either that or they're secretly a spy number three they're kind to the waiter how your date treats the waiter can be a valuable insight into their character is your date going out of their way to complain about your weight or to you do they lose their patience with them or are they kind and patient and respectful of your waiter if you pay attention to how your date treats the wait staff it can give you some interesting details about who they are and how
they handle stress even if it's just being patient enough to wait for your order of chicken wings to arrive chicken wings is this making anyone else hungry number four being around them feels natural you can get nervous around someone that you like that's normal but on the flip side if you find you're calm and comfortable around this person then that's a green flag everyone gets some nervous butterflies on the first date but if those flutterings in your belly give way to a sense of ease and comfortability as the date goes on then that's a very
good sign that there could be a positive lasting spark between you two number five they're not distracted by their phone if you find yourself on a date where the other person isn't consistently eyeing their phone then this is an obvious green flag if someone isn't interested in what you're saying and they aren't honed in on you and the date they might bring out their phone to occupy themselves putting their phone away and giving you their full undivided attention shows they want to be fully engaged with you it shows that the time the two of you
are spending together is important to them and number six you find yourself smiling all the time did they make you laugh do you feel comfortable talking to them are they kind to you do you feel happy around them do you like who you are when you're with them these are all types of questions you can ask yourself to see if you want to go on a second date if you find yourself coming home from that first date with all smiles that don't go away then you may have found your match it's a green flag go
