    Not having a Facebook profile. I’ve had someone initially refuse to associate with me on the basis that they couldn’t investigate my life beforehand.

    I just laughed and asked them how they managed to survive before the Internet (we were both old enough). We both got over the weirdness of the situation, built a robot, and were friends for a while before they moved away.

    If a person can readily describe their failings it could seem like a red flag because they have failings, but everyone has failings and being aware of them is a positive.

    Not talking all the time when spending time together. Being able to just quietly enjoy each other’s company sometimes is actually a good thing since it allows both partners to relax without constantly worrying about keeping their partner’s attention or keeping them entertained.

      Currently sitting next to silent bf silently. We just grunt at each other for days in a row. Live with someone wanting constant interaction = hell.

    For people who value reading: if they have no books on their shelves. They might be avid readers of ebooks, or just use the library.

    But this should clear itself up with a rather simple discussion started by mentioning a book you read recently.

      But not having books on your shelves is not a green flag, it just might not be a red flag.

    Taking some time to calm down during a fight if getting angry/sad/whatever.
    The other party might think that you are running away.

    Make sure they know that you continue once calmed down.
