The Yellow Flags You Shouldn’t Ignore, Based On Your Birth Month

Yellow flags are the little personality traits that could be a warning, but not necessarily a dating dealbreaker. Of course, it all depends on personality. One person’s red flag is another person’s green flag. Look for your birth month to see the yellow flags you should never ignore in your partner.

January

They don’t have any life goals or aspirations. Not everyone cares if their significant other has drive, but that’s not you. You like getting things done and making your life better. Complacency is unattractive.

February

They blame their exes for the relationship’s demise. Some relationships end because one person did something inexcusable, but every time? If they blame everything on each one of their exes, you’ll start losing those lovey-dovey feelings for them ASAP. It doesn’t align with the romantic fairytale you’re looking for.

March

They text you all day long. Some people find that cute, but “good morning” and “goodnight” texts are just annoying for you. Heck, they border on creepy. You don’t like to feel smothered in a relationship, so someone texting all day is just not compatible with you.

April

They’re too indecisive. You don’t mind making decisions–you’re good at it. The problem is when the person you’re with is so indecisive that they hem and haw even when you try to solve the issue. You deserve someone decisive or who at the very least goes with the flow when you make the call.

May

They can never sit still. The fidgety types might work well for someone born in December, but you’re more the homebody type. If someone can’t get comfortable cuddled up on the couch on a cold Sunday night, then they’re not the right person for you.

June

They don’t have opinions on anything. Frankly, you don’t understand how anyone could not have an opinion on literally everything, all the time. You don’t trust it. You’d spend more time being baffled by the person you’re with than actually enjoying their company if they’re the opinion-free type.

July

They don’t like talking about their feelings. This is even worse if they don’t want to talk about yours, either. Openness when it comes to emotions is essential for your own health and happiness. In this case, opposites definitely don’t attract.

August

They don’t talk about their family. Family is everything to you. It’s one thing if they have trauma or death in their past, but if they have an otherwise healthy family, it’s suspicious if they don’t talk about them. You’ll spend too much of your time trying to coax a family connection that just isn’t there.

September

They’re always late. Punctuality is a huge thing for you. Not only are you chronically on time (aka, 10 minutes early), but you think it’s disrespectful for people to be late. Someone who’s too laidback when it comes to arriving on time is the last person you should be with. You’d be frustrated 24/7.

October

They act differently when you’re alone than with friends. You pride yourself on your awesome social circle. You often feel more yourself when you’re surrounded by your favorite people. So for a partner to put on a façade around friends, yours or theirs? Yeah, they’re not for you.

November

They’re moving really fast. You like to take things slow and easy when it comes to dating. If someone is super clingy right away or already talking about moving in together, you’ll feel compelled to run as far away as possible. You need someone who will go at your pace.

December

They don’t have any hobbies or interests. When asked what they like to do, they mention the shows they watch, and then grow quiet. They don’t go out, they don’t go on adventures, they don’t have any projects they’re working on. You like to do things, so you’ll find this kind of person way too boring and far too much effort.
