For friend to friend, it's hard and I do think it depends on age a lot of the time. I'm 29 now so if one of my friends got into a relationship they were really happy with/excited about I'd be happy for them. I have my own life and live with my boyfriend so not hearing from a friend or seeing them as much isn't a big deal at the stage I'm at in my life, as long as we did still plan to catch up and see each other when it suited us both. When I was younger if someone blew off plans for a guy it would be annoying but I've also been on the other side of it when you're in a new relationship and really just wanna see them, so it's hard to judge!

Same as moving too fast really. It's such a personal thing. I'm not particularly emotional so generally take things quite slow haha but a lot of my friends will go on a tinder date for example, it goes well and they are constantly texting, seeing each other every few days etc and that seems so keen to me 😂

Red flags for seeing a friends relationship unfold with their partner I notice a lot more! Any phrases with them saying things like "I'm not allowed to do this" "I better head home now incase X gets worried/angry" "you can't come over because X will be home" etc. Anything where it sounds like they've been told not to do something or see someone would concern me!

Whats red flags for you when a friend gets into a new relationship? Whether it be red flags with you and the friend or red flags between your friend and their new partner.

How can you tell of its moving to fast? If youve been ditched ect?
Red flags between friends: if you started to never see her much, or if she would make plans but then cancel because of the new partner . Meeting up but only ever talking about her new partner. Changing her behaviour to suit new partner. Saying that she can’t see you/do things/wear things etc because of new partner.

Red flags between the new couple:

moving too fast - like moving in together after a free months or talking about marriage/kids etc after only a few months dating m

him being violent towards her or upsetting her or being involved with the police or getting into trouble/fights etc
