Opening on her green flags
Kind to waiters. That's my answer and I stand by it. It's the stuff that tells me more than any bio.
When a guy opens on it, I can tell in one line if he's about to prove he has the green flag. That's the part that makes me cringe a little.
The best ones treat it like a conversation about people, not a job interview for him.
What I notice.
What gets a reply
- He asks what made that flag important to me. There's usually a bad date behind it.
- He adds a green flag I didn't think of, and it's a good one.
- He's funny about the opposite, a tiny red flag confession that's harmless.
What I leave on read
- He tells me he's kind to waiters. Okay, officer.
- He lists all of his green flags like a resume.

- What do you say to “Green flags I look for”?
- Talk about the flag, not about yourself having it. Ask where it comes from, or add one she'd agree with. Claiming the green flag in message one sounds like a pitch.
- Is it okay to joke about red flags?
- A small, harmless confession can be charming. Anything that's actually a red flag is not a joke on a first text.
- Why does proving I have her green flag not work?
- Because everyone does it and she can't verify it. A text that shows the quality lands better than one that states it.
