Dating FAQs
The most common Cliterally community questions, answered.
How do I know if it's a red flag or just a difference in communication style?
A genuine red flag usually involves disrespect, dishonesty or a pattern of behaviour that ignores your boundaries. A communication difference is something you can usually work through together with openness on both sides.
How soon should we define the relationship?
There's no universal timeline. What matters more is that both people feel comfortable being honest about where they stand, whenever that conversation happens.
Is it normal for the spark to fade over time?
Very. Long-term relationships shift from early intensity to a different kind of intimacy, and that's not necessarily a bad sign, though it's worth actively nurturing connection either way.
What are actual green flags to look for?
Consistency between words and actions, respect for your boundaries, healthy communication during disagreements, and genuine curiosity about your life are all strong signs.
How do we keep communication healthy during a conflict?
Focus on how something made you feel rather than attacking character, take breaks if things get heated, and come back to the conversation once you're both calmer.
Is it normal for the spark to fade over time?
Very. Long-term relationships shift from early intensity to a different kind of intimacy, and that's not necessarily a bad sign, though it's worth actively nurturing connection either way.
