green flags
Positive relationship indicators
Green flags are positive signs in a relationship or situation, the opposite of red flags.
Where red flags warn you away, green flags signal safety, health, or compatibility: He actually listens when I talk—major green flag.
The term emerged from dating discourse but applies broadly to any context where you're evaluating whether to proceed.
