I lived right near a spot of Lake Michigan beach for a couple of years in Chicago, and everytime I would stroll over there I’d take note of the flag.
As anyone who lives near a large body of water knows, they use flags to signify the safety of being on the beach / getting in the water at that time.
A yellow flag meant proceed with caution. A red flag meant get the f**k away.
Unfortunately, when it comes to the metaphorical red flags in our lives, we don’t always listen, as pointed out by Twitter user @objsucks:

4. Sing me a song
You would lose me at “watched Glee.”
Dated a guy who only watched Glee for the plotlines and fast-forwarded through the singing scenes. https://t.co/mk425iQ959

3. Happily ever after?
“Hey, you wanna come pay $50 to freeze to death watching something we could see better at home on TV for free?”
He took me to an Eagles tailgate/game on my 1 Sunday off during the season so I could understand Philly better. We sat in the last row at the Linc in the freezing cold with his family. He told me he thought I would appreciate the All 22 view.
Big red flag… I still married him https://t.co/nHGVDHvp3y

As we make our way toward the beaches that are our relationships, we must watch for the red flags that are the…flags of…that thing.
GOD I’m bad at metaphors. That’s probably some kind of red flag.
