green flag man

There are various characteristics in a man that are green flags for any woman seeking a relationship with him.  He can talk openly and share his feelings.  He is a good listener. He respects boundaries.  No means no. He takes responsibility for his mistakes and doesn’t try to blame others. He does what he says he will do. He is kind.  He has stable long-term friendships.

If a bloke ticks all these boxes he is a green flag man.  These are signs that you can expect to have a mature relationship in which you both develop a full life, together and independently.  There are copious lists of male saintly attributes online but one interesting one is that the green flag man does not bar you from looking at his phone.
