You know how we always talk about “Red flags” when something’s a major dealbreaker in a relationship?
And Green flags are great signs about someone new…so proceed.
We’ve also talked about Pink flags, which are minor annoyances that could escalate if not addressed.
And Beige Flags are harmless quirks that might make you pause…
Well, we have a new one: Amber flags!
Amber flags are more like little yellow caution lights.
They’re not necessarily reasons to run for the hills, but they’re worth paying attention to.
It’s that feeling in your gut when something just seems a little off—like they never introduce you to their friends, or they brush off serious conversations with jokes. Not bad bad, but like… huh, that’s weird.
Sometimes it’s just a misunderstanding or a quirk, and other times it turns out to be a sign of a bigger issue.
They’re basically your cue to pause, ask questions, and gather more info before diving in deeper.
I feel like we’ve all ignored a few amber flags before and wished we hadn’t, so now try to clock them early and trust your instincts more.
