Taboo to Truth: Life & Sex After 5011 Feb 2025

Midlife Dating: Red Flags to Run From, Green Flags to Stay For | Ep 82

You spot a red flag, and what do you do? Run. Someone’s still obsessed with their ex? Gone. Talks only about themselves? No thanks. Financially unstable in their 50s? Hard pass.

We’ve trained ourselves to scan for every possible warning sign before we even give someone a real chance. But here’s a thought—when was the last time you actively looked for green flags? The little signs that someone might actually be worth your time?

In this episode, I flip the script on dating and relationships. Sure, avoiding red flags is important, but what about spotting the signs that someone is actually worth your time? From emotional stability to simple acts of kindness (like holding the door or sending a thoughtful text), we’re diving into what makes a partner a keeper.

Are we so focused on running that we forget to notice when we should stay? Let’s talk about it.

Timestamps:
