And, if/when you find these qualities in others, there’s a chance the relationship will organically expand and move into something much more significant, whether you plan for it or not. 

Communication

The first enm relationship green flag is a person that knows and communicates their hard No’s as well as their Have-To-Haves. 

We all know the importance of communication but seldom do we meet people who can clearly identify exactly what works for them and what will have them run in the opposite direction. 

Most people who try to appear as being pleasant will lean towards passivity and pull away from being upfront about the hard lines that we all have. Let’s be honest, saying your boundaries and must haves out loud and sharing them early could save a tonne of time. So please try on tossing the people pleasing out the window and adopt upfrontness for these two things.

 The world needs to know your hard-no’s and your have-to-haves. Without specifying these two things you’ll never give people a chance to really know you. 

Clear Intentions

The second ENM relationship green flag is being able to share what you want out of this new human you’ve just met and be real about it. We are often so concerned about someone not wanting what we want, we hold back on sharing our true intentions. Guess what? The moment we hold back stating your truth is the moment you kill off finding it. 

And the opposite is true once you read/hear someone’s open honest desires you have an instant knowing. That’s all that we all want is to have the chance to choose with power, knowing all the facts. Then we can make a firm yes or a firm no. This is a vital aspect of communication as well as being a transparent participant in the ENM world.
