How to Get the Most Out of Your Matchmaking Membership at Cupid in the City
When it comes to dating advice, we often hear about red flags – those warning signs that tell us to run for the hills. And while recognizing unhealthy patterns is important, it’s just as crucial to know what healthy behaviour looks like.
So, let’s shift the focus to green flags – the subtle (and not-so-subtle) signs that someone is emotionally mature, respectful, and actually ready for a relationship.
If you’ve been burned before, spotting these signs might feel unfamiliar, but they’re the foundation of real connection.
Here are some green flags to keep on your radar:
They Communicate Clearly and Respectfully
No mixed signals. No games. When someone is emotionally available, they don’t leave you guessing. Whether it’s about how they feel, what they want, or how their day went, healthy communication is consistent and honest—even when the topic is uncomfortable.
Green flag: They respond in a timely way, initiate conversations, and genuinely listen to what you’re saying.
They’re Consistent, Not Just Charming
Sure, flowers are nice. Sweet texts are great. But what really matters is consistency. Are they showing up for you—not just with words, but with actions?
Green flag: They follow through. If they say they’ll call, they do. If they make a plan, they show up. No excuses, no drama.
They Support Your Growth
A green-flag partner doesn’t feel threatened by your goals, friendships, or independence. In fact, they want to see you thrive. There’s no competition just mutual encouragement.
Green flag: They celebrate your wins, listen to your ideas, and never make you feel “too much.”
They Take Accountability
No one’s perfect. But people who are ready for real love know how to say “I messed up” without shifting blame or shutting down. Accountability builds trust and shows emotional maturity.
Green flag: They apologize sincerely and actually change the behaviour going forward.
You Feel Safe and Seen
This might be the most important one. A green flag isn’t just about how they treat you it’s how you feel around them. Do you feel calm, valued, and like you can be your full self?
Green flag: You’re not anxious all the time. You feel emotionally safe, not on edge.
Don’t ignore your gut feeling. If something feels off, that matters. But also pay attention to what feels right. Healthy relationships aren’t perfect, but they do feel respectful, reciprocal, and real.
So yes, watch for red flags, but when you start seeing green ones? Lean in.
You just might be onto something good.
