Consistency was one green flag.

How he treats other people, especially other women in his life.

Unfortunately it didnt work out, but he was a pretty great guy.
Not having to wonder if he likes you or not.
It feels natural and you dont have to wait 1000 years to reply to text.
F*** that.
If you dont feel that way, then dont bother.
Its a waste of energy and time.
Youll just be disappointed.

Listening to no from the beginning, even in the small things.
Additionally, being able to talk about an issue and be respectful, considerate, and not dismissive.

Fabulous communication and following through with everything he says.
Not calling all his exs crazy, admitting that he was the problem.
These were some of the many green flags I saw when I met my now husband.

Being kind to animals.
I may hate the bugs but anyone who is gentle, even to insects, is someone I trust.
