FILE PICTURE - Three quarters of singletons see mental health talks as a green flag in dating. Release date January 16 2025. Three quarters of singletons view it as a green flag if their love interest speaks openly about their mental health despite 68 per cent not daring to discuss the subject on a first date a few years ago. A poll of 1,000 dating adults found 30 per cent feel showing vulnerability is key to building authentic relationships. While 28 per cent would rather have meaningful discussions over small talk when meeting someone for the first time. But although 88 per cent are comfortable embracing all manner of conversations on a first date, 61 per cent have previously felt too ashamed to reveal too much about this topic. And 32 per cent have avoided the conversation because of a perceived weakness surrounding it.
