The Red Flag 🚩 Trend: Warning Signs in DMs & Bios

The Red Flag 🚩 emoji has transcended its original meaning (a weather warning or golf marker) to become the universal symbol for "DANGER" in relationships.

The Viral Twitter Trend Explained

In 2021, a trend took over Twitter where users would tweet a quote followed by a sea of red flags. These quotes represented "dealbreakers."

• "I don't listen to music." 🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩
• "I'm friends with all my exes." 🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩

Common Dating Red Flags

According to the internet, here are some major red flags to watch out for using emojis:

• The Love Bomber: 😍🥰💍 (Too fast, too soon)
• The Ghost: 👻 (Disappears for days)
• The Gaslighter: "You're crazy" 🚩

The 'Green Flag' 🟢 Counter-Movement

For every red flag, there is a green flag 🟢. These are signs of a healthy partner.

• "Texts back within an hour." 🟢
• "Is nice to waiters." 🟢

Using it in Storytelling

You can use the flag to punctuate a story about a bad date.

"We sat down 🚩 he ordered for me 🚩 he didn't tip 🚩"
