Red Flags

A red flag is an early warning that a match may not be the safe or steady bet they appear to be, and learning to read them saves real heartache. It matters because the hard part is not spotting problems; it is telling a genuine warning apart from a small quirk you could happily live with for years.

The guidance here walks through the patterns that tend to matter and the ones that do not. Expect help noticing the behaviours worth trusting the first time, understanding why some warning signs get explained away, and deciding when to step back before you are too invested to leave with your head clear.
