It's not serious, but I'm not in love: What are 'beige flags' and how do they impact relationships?

Relationships are as complex as each person, because each person has their own way of seeing life, and this means there are a multitude of ways to navigate interactions.

And it must be said that each person's tastes, preferences, hobbies , as well as their quirks and some things that may be annoying to others, lead to a great diversity in relationships. See more: The 5 acts against security that no airplane passenger should commit in Colombia

However, just as there are the famous 'red flags' or 'green flags', which refer to those 'signals', both negative and positive, regarding a person, in the relationship that could be had or developed with this individual (be it man or woman), there are now also the so-called 'beige flags'.

According to La Vanguardia, this term refers to those characteristics or actions that a person who is getting to know another person identifies in that second person, and that, although they may not be decisive in completely cutting off contact with that other person, do have—in some way—a certain weight when making decisions.

For example, LV cites cases of people who say they are bothered by the sound someone makes while eating, or when texting on WhatsApp, they write the letter 'k' instead of the word "what," among other similar cases.

Thus, the "beige flags" appear on the scene, which will not quickly lead to a breakup of the relationship, but later , and in the medium or long term, they can have a significant impact on the relationship.

Therefore, it is worth asking whether this is serious enough to actually throw away all the time we have shared.
