Green Flags Dating as a Childfree Person

9 Upvotes

Hey all! I’m building a childfree dating app and I’ve been asking cf folks what their biggest green flags on a date are that lets you know that they are in fact childfree. The top 3 I’ve come across so far are:

  1. They’ve been childfree for a while. Consistency in their childfree position is a strong indicator that this is a belief they’ve held for a while and not just a passing moment.
  2. The people in their life know. Someone who has been clear with the important people in their life has been living this position, not just thinking about it in passing.
  3. They can talk about it without defensiveness. If they can discuss this part of their life openly, chances are it is a deeply held belief.

Let me know if you have any other green flags you look for when dating.
