Dating
Heres how to spot them.
Red flags are often easy to spot on a first date.
Pink flags, on the other hand, arent always so glaringly obvious but that doesnt make them OK.
Excessive gift-giving is another tricky one.
To make matters even more difficult, pink flags also arent universal.
You might immediately get the ick while your friend views it as a perfectly natural topic of conversation.
The best way to spot pink flags is by focusing on how they make you feel.
They might instill a seed of doubt about your dates commitment level or truthfulness.
They might make you feel like you dont have anything in common.
And they might also have you wondering if you share the same values.
Listen to those concerns.
What Happens If You Ignore Pink Flags?
But in other cases, pink flags can also turn into red flags.
Cue the red flags flying.
If the pink flag is seemingly benign but also a total turnoff, thats OK too.
The best thing you could do in these situations?
Be honest with yourself, says Amodio.
Think about whats bothering you about this pink flag and why.
If not, it doesnt matter what color the flag is.
Its more than OK to go.
