Hindsight is 20/20. But love is blind. When you’re in the early stages of dating, you don’t always know when a trait is quirky or troublesome. It’s only later, after the breakup, that all the early warning signs become apparent.
Twitter is hip to this contradiction, which is why red flag emojis have been trending this week, along with people’s advice on what they wished they’d paid attention to when they first met someone special (who turned out to be just as unremarkable as everyone else). Even some beloved brands got in on the conversation (because who hasn’t been burned by a bad match?).
These are the 15 funniest red flag posts this week!
