"Everyone thinks opposite attract, but the reality is similarities are what you can build a foundation on," she says. Three values in particular, she says, can determine whether a relationship is viable long-term.

"My girlfriend's beige flag is that she physically cannot survive without having something sweet after a meal." Declarations like these have swarmed TikTok, with users identifying not a partner's red or a green flags, but a more nuanced "beige" one. Unlike red or green flags, beige flags don't prompt action. There is potential danger in beige flags, though, if you get too obsessed with them, DeAlto says. "Because you could turn a beige flag into a deal breaker."
