Dating Red Flags Awareness Quiz — Spot Warning Signs Early
Tests your ability to recognize warning signs in potential relationships.
Take the Dating Red Flags Awareness Quiz to sharpen your ability to spot warning signs in potential relationships. This interactive test, part of our Dating Style Quizzes collection, helps you recognize patterns of controlling behavior, boundary violations, communication problems, jealousy, and other early indicators of unhealthy relationships. Designed for singles, people re-entering the dating scene, and anyone who wants to date more safely, this quiz uses realistic scenarios to improve your relationship risk awareness.
Understanding dating red flags is essential for emotional safety and long-term wellbeing. By answering a series of targeted multiple-choice questions, you will get a score that highlights your current level of awareness and provides practical, action-oriented recommendations. Use the results to make informed dating decisions, set stronger boundaries, and know when to seek support or step back from a situation.
How does a new partner react when you set a small personal boundary?
Examples include saying no to plans, asking for personal time, or declining to share a password.
How often does your partner check your phone or question who you talk to?
Consider both direct checks and repeated demands for access to accounts.
Does your partner try to influence or control your decisions about friends, work, or family?
Look for subtle exclusion, ultimatums, or demands that you change your social life.
How transparent is your partner about basic facts (job, living situation, past relationships)?
Consider frequent inconsistencies, excuses, or evasiveness.
How does your partner respond when you express hurt or disappointment?
Note whether they listen, dismiss, or turn things around to blame you.
Does your partner respect your plans or repeatedly demand last-minute changes?
Frequent disrespect for your time or obligations can signal poor boundaries or control issues.
When you succeed or share good news, how does your partner react?
Healthy partners celebrate; unhealthy ones may downplay, compete, or undermine.
How does your partner express anger or frustration?
Watch for yelling, threats, breaking things, or silent treatment used to control.
Does your partner take responsibility when they make a mistake?
Accountability is key to trust; watch for repeated excuses or blame-shifting.
Have you ever felt frightened, unsafe, or coerced by this person?
Feeling afraid or pressured to comply is a serious red flag.
Frequently asked questions
Your score is the sum of the numeric values assigned to each selected option. Lower scores indicate fewer identified red flags and stronger awareness of healthy behaviors; higher scores indicate more warning signs or risk factors in the relationship.
If your score falls in the high or immediate caution range, prioritize your safety. Consider distancing yourself, confiding in trusted friends or family, documenting troubling incidents, and contacting local support services or a counselor. If you feel in danger, contact emergency services or a domestic violence hotline immediately.
