Red Flag Detector

That gut feeling is usually right. Paste the conversation and we'll name what felt off — red flags, yellow flags, and the signs they might actually be worth your time.

Use judgment in real situations

For the most accurate analysis

  • · Include the full conversation, not just the parts that felt off
  • · Label each line clearly ("You:" / "Them:") for the most accurate analysis
  • · The longer the excerpt, the better the pattern detection
  • · Include timestamps or context notes if something happened between messages

What to do next

Know what you\'re dealing with. Then decide.

If the conversation looks healthy, keep it moving. If not, knowing the pattern clearly is the first step.

Common questions

Is this a replacement for professional advice?

No. This tool identifies conversational patterns — it doesn't diagnose behaviour or make relationship decisions for you. Use it as a second opinion, not a verdict. Trust your own judgment.

What counts as a red flag here?

Patterns like possessiveness, inconsistency, dismissiveness, or pressure — things that show up repeatedly and feel off. A single weird message is often just a bad day. A pattern is worth noticing.

What if I'm not sure what's a flag and what's just their style?

That's exactly what this tool helps with. Paste the conversation and look at what the analysis names specifically — it separates patterns from one-offs.

Can I use this for conversations on any app?

Yes. Just paste the text — the tool works on any conversation regardless of where it happened.

Why it matters

Your gut is usually right — now you can name why

Most people sense something is off before they can articulate it. The problem is that early-stage dating makes it easy to dismiss those signals — you like the person, you want it to work, so you explain away the things that bother you. A clear second opinion helps you see the pattern before you're too invested to act on it.

83%

of people who ignored early red flags said they wished they'd paid attention sooner — the signs were there from the start.

Week 2

is when most controlling or dismissive patterns first appear in early-stage conversations. Recognising them early costs nothing.

3 types

of patterns worth knowing: red (walk away), yellow (watch carefully), green (genuinely reassuring). Most conversations have a mix.

Controlling behaviour starts small

"Don't talk to other guys" or "You should be texting me back faster" are early signals of possessiveness. Alone they might feel intense but harmless. As a pattern, they're consistent predictors of problems further in.

Hot-and-cold isn't passion, it's instability

Extreme attentiveness followed by sudden withdrawal is often misread as mystery or chemistry. It's actually a pattern that keeps you off-balance and chasing — which is rarely what a healthy connection looks like.

Green flags are just as worth knowing

Consistency, respect for your pace, genuine curiosity about you — these are patterns too. Knowing what good looks like helps you recognise it when you find it, not just avoid what's bad.
