pro: engagement was not exactly his choice and he's trying really hard to get out of it so he can marry you instead.

pro: so sweet he can't even bring himself to kill in self-defense.
pro: utterly, ridiculously devoted to you.
pro: confident enough in his non-toxic masculinity to actually verbalize how utterly devoted he is to you.
verdict: green flag!
you’ll find his picture in the dictionary under “green flag.” can’t say the same for his family, but everyone has their skeletons.
