What are the traits that tell you a guy is worth your energy? Because let’s be honest — you don’t have time to waste on someone who isn’t stepping up.
Here are seven undeniable green flags that say, “Yep, this one’s a keeper.”
1. He Communicates Like a Grown-Up
A man who’s worth your time won’t make you decode mixed signals or play guessing games. He’ll be upfront, honest, and open with how he feels. The Gottman Institute (aka the relationship experts) backs this up, saying strong communication is key to a lasting relationship (source).
Signs He’s Got Good Communication Skills:
- He tells you what’s on his mind without making you read between the lines.
- He actually listens (like, really listens) when you talk.
- He’s cool with having tough conversations instead of shutting down.
If he keeps it real and respects your voice in the relationship, that’s a huge win.
