We often see posts about what doms or subs are doing wrong that give us the ick or make us concerned for compatibility. But what about being understanding and giving people a chance to learn, adapt, be flexible, or better explain themselves?

What are some things that are often labeled as red flags that could be “yellow flags?”

What red flags are absolutely a no-go, such as ones for safety or consent?

How do you balance your open mindedness and flexibility with drawing appropriate boundaries for yourself and partners?

Are you more of a firm, non negotiable person, or do you leave a bit of wiggle room?

Anyone have any good examples of getting reticent at first but then it all worked out?
