Valentine's Day Red Flags and Green Flags

🚩 Red Flag #1: The "I Forgot It Was Valentine’s Day" Gift

Cue the panic purchase: gas station flowers, a last-minute generic box of chocolates, or worse, nothing at all. These gifts scream, “Oops, totally slipped my mind!” Relationship experts agree—lack of effort sends a clear message: You’re not as special as you should be.

🟢 Green Flag

Thoughtful, planned-out gifts—no need to break the bank. Even a handwritten love letter, their favorite coffee blend, or a playlist of songs that remind you of them can mean the world.

🚩 Red Flag #2: The "Too Much, Too Soon" Gift

A surprise weekend getaway after just three dates? A diamond bracelet before making it official? Yikes! Over-the-top gestures can come across as love bombing—a manipulation tactic disguised as affection.

🟢 Green Flag

Keep it genuine and aligned with your relationship stage. A cozy movie night, a cute book with a heartfelt note, or tickets to a future date-night event all say “I love you” without the pressure.

🚩 Red Flag #3: The "It's All About Me" Gift

If your partner opens a gift and looks confused (Why did they get me golf clubs when I don’t play?), you’ve entered self-indulgent territory. Gifts should celebrate their interests, not yours.

Choose something they truly love—a spa day, a book by their favorite author, or a DIY coupon for a stress-free day where they call the shots.

🚩 Red Flag #4: The "Rude to the Service Staff" Date

Not technically a gift, but a major relationship red flag! If your date is rude to the restaurant staff or delivery driver, it’s a clear sign of entitlement. No one wants a Valentine who lacks basic kindness.

🟢 Green Flag

Treat everyone with respect! Kindness is one of the most attractive qualities a person can have.
