Not every red flag in a man means running away, sometimes the red flag is just a beige flag that does not necessarily cause harm but needs to be watched.
Here are some of them:
1. His Snapchat best friends list is full of girls
Okay, so the guy has a lot of female friends. Big deal, right? Unless he’s constantly snapping them and neglecting you, in which case, you might want to start questioning his priorities. Is he trying to build an army of potential backup girlfriends? Or is he just really, really popular with the ladies? Either way, keep an eye on it.
2. His best friend is a girl
This one’s a classic. Is it a platonic friendship, or is some secret romantic tension brewing? Only time will tell. Just ensure he’s not constantly comparing you to his best friend, or you might start feeling like the third wheel in your relationship.
3. He talks about other girls in front of you
Okay, we get it, you have eyes and you can appreciate a good-looking person. But constantly talking about other women in front of your partner? That’s a big no-no. Unless he’s trying to make you feel insecure, in which case, run for the hills.
4. He doesn’t like your friends and is always judging them
Your friends are an important part of your life, and if he can’t respect that, it’s a red flag. Unless, of course, your friends are the worst and he’s just trying to save you from their questionable life choices. In that case, maybe you should listen to him.
5. He’s influenced by peer pressure
We all want to fit in with our friends, but if he’s constantly doing things he’s uncomfortable with just to impress them, it’s a red flag. Unless, of course, his friends are super cool and you’re just jealous that he’s not inviting you to their exclusive club.
6. He acts differently around his friends
If he’s a completely different person when he’s with his friends, it’s a red flag. Unless, of course, he’s just a secret agent and he has to maintain his cover. In that case, you might be dating the next James Bond, and that’s pretty cool.
7. He does the opposite of what he says
If he constantly says one thing and does another, it’s a red flag. Unless, of course, he’s just a master of surprise and he’s keeping you on your toes. In that case, you might be dating the next Houdini, and that’s not a deal-breaker.
8. He texts multiple girls
While it’s not necessarily a deal-breaker to have multiple female friends, if he’s constantly texting other girls and neglecting you, it’s a red flag. Unless, of course, he’s just a social butterfly and he’s trying to keep up with all his adoring fans. In that case, you might be dating the next social media influencer, and that’s kind of a big deal.
9. He’s disrespectful towards his friends and family members
If he’s constantly disrespecting the people closest to him, it’s a red flag. Unless, of course, he’s just a misunderstood rebel and he’s trying to break free from the constraints of society. In that case, you might be dating the next Banksy, and that’s pretty cool.
10. He doesn’t talk about his feelings and acts different
If he’s always bottling up his emotions and acting like everything is fine when it’s not, it’s a red flag. Unless, of course, he’s just a mysterious, brooding type and he’s trying to keep you on your toes. In that case, you might be dating the next Edward Cullen, and that’s not a deal-breaker.
Remember, these red flags aren’t necessarily deal-breakers, but they are worth keeping an eye on.
