When it comes to love and relationships, we’re often instructed to seek out the warning signs. The writing on the wall. The red flags. While it’s definitely important to notice the things that show someone may not be compatible with us, it is also just as important to look for the green flags that signal someone is a good fit for us long-term. In fact, it may be even more valuable to focus on what you do want in another person (rather than focusing on what you don’t).

Here are the most underrated green flags that indicate you’re compatible with someone long-term.

Your life visions don’t conflict.

You both have a vision of what your future would look like and these visions are compatible. For example, you both want kids, you both want to live in the same area, you both envision a partner with x amount of time to spend with me after work, etc.

While these logistical elements aren’t the most romantic pieces to consider, they do matter in regards to relationship compatibility and need to be addressed.

You can spend time apart without feeling insecure.
