Lori Harvey Doesn't Recognize Her 21 Year Old Self, Talks Red And Green Flags

After a recent breakup, Lori Harvey is changing the way she dates. The model, 25, spoke about her new mindset on Bumble's "Luv2SeeIt" YouTube series with Teyana Taylor recently where she explains the green and red flags she looks for now. The topic of the episode was "Dating on your own terms."

When asked about the most important flags she looks for, she explained that a green flag is transparency and openness. "Just be open and honest about what it is, what you're doing," she said. And a red flag, "If you're too close to your exes, that's a red flag." The conversation went on to discuss philosophies for all kinds of relationships, seeing true colors in dating, compromising and taking control of your own dating experience. The two also discussed the importance of growth. Harvey said that change is "the beautiful part of growth," and that what she wanted at 21 isn't the same as what she wants at 25. "Two different mindsets. Like, I don't even know her anymore," she said. "She's not here anymore. This is who we're dealing with today."

The SKN founder and model explained how she lives her life without worrying about what other people are going to think. She also touched on how changing her past experiences isn't something she would do. "You can't live your life based on what other people are going to think, how other people feel, because at the end of the day it's your life, so what's going to make you happy?" she said. "You learn so much in the process so I wouldn't trade the knowledge I got for anything."

Harvey discussed the fact that she almost got married at a really young age without really experiencing life. "I felt like I hadn't really experienced anything. I didn't really know myself, I didn't really know what I liked, what I didn't like," she explained. "I just feel like I hadn't really experienced life." Harvey's focus now is to take more control and not allow anything to "compromise my peace and happiness." And she's not allowing anyone to take her power away from her. "Don't give your power away to anybody. That I feel is the key to being truly happy in or out of a relationship," she explained.

The model's last relationship, with actor Michael B. Jordan, ended in June after a year and a half of dating. A source told People, "Michael and Lori are both completely heartbroken. They still love each other. Michael matured a lot over the course of their relationship and was ready to commit for the long term."  The source also said that Harvey "wasn't ready to commit" and was "very focused on her career" and "realized that they weren't on the same page." "She still wants to have fun and be free. Michael is a great guy. She is sad that their relationship didn't work out, but she is moving on."
