274. 10 Green Flags You Can Spot On The First 3 Dates
About this episode
How much can you really know about someone after three dates? Not enough to know if they're your forever person, but definitely enough to spot signs that they're worth continuing to get to know. In this episode, I'm breaking down 10 green flags to look for on the first few dates that tell you to keep going! We'll talk about the difference between real green flags and behaviors that only look promising, why consistency matters more than chemistry, and how to tell whether someone's actions actually match their words.
You'll learn:
- The #1 green flag that creates connection quickly
- Why initiative and follow-through are different (and why you need both)
- How to tell if someone is rushing the connection
- The role consistency plays in building trust
- What someone's relationship history can reveal about them
- Why feeling calm around someone is often a better sign than feeling a spark
- Green flags submitted by listeners from their own dating experiences
- Behaviors that seem like green flags—but aren't
Plus, I answer a Dating Dilemma from a listener whose partner struggles with emotional conversations and discuss how couples can navigate different comfort levels around difficult feelings.
