Digital Green Flags

Methodology: This study surveyed 3,002 single women across the United States in July 2026 via Cherry Data Signals to identify the “digital green flags” they look for when dating. Respondents were asked which positive online behaviors, habits, or characteristics they consider the biggest indicators of a trustworthy, compatible, and genuine potential partner, with results analyzed at both the national and state level. Responses were aggregated to determine the highest-ranked digital green flag in each state. Demographic quotas and weighting were applied where appropriate to ensure the sample was broadly representative of single women across the U.S. by age, region, and other key demographic characteristics.
