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.

Questions

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.
