Short answer
The main Ocean red flags are keeping things undefined for months, disappearing without warning, and getting curious about someone new right when things get serious; their depth is real, but so is the tide.
Every birthday type has red flags, including yours. The useful question is which ones are habits you can talk about and which ones wear a relationship down. Yeon wrote the list. Bom made her add the green flags.
The red flags, one by one
🚩 Forever undefined
What it looks like: Months together, no label, and every talk gets deflected.
What it usually means: Fear of being trapped. Ask for honesty, not a cage.
🚩 The vanishing act
What it looks like: Gone for days, back like nothing happened.
What it usually means: Recharging. Fine with a warning, painful without.
🚩 Wandering curiosity
What it looks like: Interested in someone new right as things deepen.
What it usually means: Their alarm system. Watch if they choose to stay.
🚩 Jealousy allergy
What it looks like: Any question about where they were feels like control.
What it usually means: They need trust. You also need answers.
YeonIf you have been 'seeing where it goes' for nine months, it has gone somewhere. It is called nowhere.
Green flags that balance it
- They are fun, curious and impossible to forget.
- They go deep when they feel safe.
- They return, again and again, to people who trust them.
BomBeing loved by an Ocean is unforgettable. Just make sure it also feels safe.
The Water pattern
Water red flags are about flow: the Ocean's vanishing acts and endless 'undefined', the Rain's silent knowing and soft fades.
