Is he a red flag?

Mostly green flags

He respects your no, your time and your life. Nobody is perfect, but what you describe sounds like someone who treats you well. Keep noticing — and enjoy it.

A few yellow flags

Some things are worth watching. One awkward moment is not a red flag, but a pattern is. Name what bothers you and see how he responds — someone worth dating listens instead of getting defensive.

Red flags are showing

Control, pressure or stories that don’t add up are a pattern, not bad luck. Slow things down, keep your own plans and friends close, and ask yourself honestly how you feel around him.

Trust your gut — this is a red flag

Your safety comes first. You don’t need proof or a second chance for something that makes you feel unsafe. Talk to someone you trust and step back. If he threatens you, asks for money or pressures you for photos, stop replying, keep the evidence and report it on 1930 or at cybercrime.gov.in — and call 112 in an emergency.
