StarLifestyle talks to Malaysians to find out their perception on relationship red flags – what are red flags to them, whether they recognise red flags, if they’ve encountered any, and what they did about it.

If a girl has too many “dubious guy friends” hanging around her or visiting her constantly, I would consider that a red flag. I mean, you wouldn’t know whether they are “just friends” or maybe something more. So I would hesitate to get involved with her because it might lead to complications later. – Shamsul S., 26, research officer
