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 personโ€™s red flag is another personโ€™s green flag. Look for your birth month to see the yellow flags you should never ignore in your partner.

January

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

February

They blame their exes for the relationshipโ€™s demise. Some relationships end because one person did something inexcusable, but every time? If they blame everything on each one of their exes, youโ€™ll start losing those lovey-dovey feelings for them ASAP. It doesnโ€™t align with the romantic fairytale youโ€™re looking for.

March

They text you all day long. Some people find that cute, but โ€œgood morningโ€ and โ€œgoodnightโ€ texts are just annoying for you. Heck, they border on creepy. You donโ€™t like to feel smothered in a relationship, so someone texting all day is just not compatible with you.

April

Theyโ€™re too indecisive. You donโ€™t mind making decisionsโ€“youโ€™re good at it. The problem is when the person youโ€™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 youโ€™re more the homebody type. If someone canโ€™t get comfortable cuddled up on the couch on a cold Sunday night, then theyโ€™re not the right person for you.

June

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

July

They donโ€™t like talking about their feelings. This is even worse if they donโ€™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 donโ€™t attract.

August

They donโ€™t talk about their family. Family is everything to you. Itโ€™s one thing if they have trauma or death in their past, but if they have an otherwise healthy family, itโ€™s suspicious if they donโ€™t talk about them. Youโ€™ll spend too much of your time trying to coax a family connection that just isnโ€™t there.

September

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

October

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

November

Theyโ€™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, youโ€™ll feel compelled to run as far away as possible. You need someone who will go at your pace.

December

They donโ€™t have any hobbies or interests. When asked what they like to do, they mention the shows they watch, and then grow quiet. They donโ€™t go out, they donโ€™t go on adventures, they donโ€™t have any projects theyโ€™re working on. You like to do things, so youโ€™ll find this kind of person way too boring and far too much effort.
