dating

So, it's Valentine's Day. Today a lot of people are thinking about their relationship status and reminiscing over past dates that either make them smile or crawl in a little hole. On a first date, people want to feel calm, cool and collected. But it's just not always possible. An awkward first date doesn't cancel out the possibility of a second date, but it sure does not feel good in the moment.

Almost every person has been on or will go on a bad date at some point in their life. I believe that awkward dates are a natural part of life, much like gravity and sunset. If you've done well enough to avoid one until now, I commend you. Honestly, you have dodged one of life's greatest bullets. But if you have a plethora of lousy date tales to tell, then welcome to the club. It's a magical place. Another Valentines Day has just come and gone, and if, like me, you were sat at home without a valentine, then these tweets about people's 'Weird, uncomfortable, funny, awkward, and ultimately entertaining' bad dates, will make you feel better about being single.

This guy asked the folks in Reddit's AITA community whether or not he was in the wrong for his reaction to learning that his girlfriend basically got him the same kind of gift that she gets anyone else in her life who she doesn't want to spend too much time and money on. With what might be no big surprise at all, people seem to be in collective agreement that it was a pretty lousy move on the part of the girlfriend. 

Someone on AskReddit got a gnarly thread going about the most ruthless rejections that people have ever endured. Some of these are just plain old heartless. It takes a lot for some folks to put themselves out there, and long as they're respectful, it's on the people being asked out to handle the rejections with just a little bit of grace. 

Yikes. When it comes to the kinds of things that you should absolutely never say to your partner (or anyone, really) this dude just added a new one to the pool. If you have a partner who is rocking a badass salary, and then you proceed to try and knock them down by trashing them for not working hard enough, you are in dire need of a little life assessment time. Clearly, this dude's got a whole lot of toxic nonsense boiling underneath the surface. 

Aah, that blissful feeling of being in love — it's a beautiful thing, but it doesn't come without its complications. At one point or another, many of us will have found ourselves in questionable relationships where we put up with behaviors we shouldn't have—speaking for a friend, of course. The rose-colored glasses we wear in relationships can blind us to some pretty glaringly obvious red flags, which we can only see clearly once the relationship has ended. On the bright side, we can use them as learning experiences of what not to ignore when it comes to our next relationship. A tweet asking people to share the biggest red flags they ignored in relationships has revealed some hilarious responses, which might make you relate to any previous sh*t shows you dated in the past. What were some red flags you ignored?

Tinder is truly a site (or sight) to behold. The acclaimed dating app has had a pretty long run and seems to still be going strong. The quips and banter can sometimes be truly hilarious, so check out some of the best r/Tinder chats and get some inspiration from these memes for your next potential foray.

Man, we've seen our fair share of lovers' quarrels, and this one is certainly full of its own kind of ridiculous behavior. We have a boyfriend who seems like he's completely hooked on the gaming, and won't stop no matter what he hears. The girlfriend in question asks the folks of Reddit whether or not she's in the wrong for cutting him off like she did. Seems like she had no other choice. 

Social media can be a good thing. Sites like Facebook and Instagram allow people to keep in touch with family and friends - a luxury that people are learning is incredibly important as the world copes with the Covid-19 pandemic. But there's a darker (and untintentionally hilarious) side to being able to share images with your followers. We're talking about the fact that people can hit the "share" button and share convoluted memes and posts that they seem to think are ultra deep. You know, "We live in a society" type sentiments. They often have to do with some very teenage feelings about loneliness and dating, and, even worse, the negative effects of the same technology they're using to share their "deep thoughts." The r/im14andthisisdeep subreddit is an impressive archive of these kinds of posts, a veritable hub of cringey thoughts that, frankly, we can't help but eat up. We've put together some of their latest and greatest offerings, but you can enjoy some more of this content here if you end up craving more.

The world of Tinder is a special one. The rules of normal life don't really apply, and the results are highly entertaining! Whether you feel the pain of trying to find cool humans amongst the trash-can fire that Tinder can be. Or you just like to laugh at Tinder-ites from a safe distance, our new memes from r/Tinder are 100% guaranteed to satisfy (unlike most Tinder dates). Check out last week's funnies for more hilarious Tinder memes.

Most people these days have that person in their phone saved as 'Satan,' or a similar person who you really, really don't want to hear from. Maybe they cheated or maybe they ghosted you. But chances are when you hear from these exes, you're probably not very happy about it. That's how these former lovers felt when their old flame's came back a-knockin', but they handled the solicitations with sass, spite, and a whole lot of confidence. 

The world of Tinder is a strange one. Hilarious to observe from the outside, probably fun to participate in (or brutal). Your success depends on your ability to craft clever sentences more than anything else. If you love to see the success or failure of those on Tinder, or just the weird things that go on there, check out our latest memes from r/Tinder. They're sure to make you laugh. 

Man oh man, it sounds like this woman's boyfriend is trying way too hard. The dude went out of his way to give his girlfriend trouble for simply ordering what she was feeling like at a restaurant. I also might add here, that mac and cheese is generally universally adored. Sounds like this dude seriously needs to get his priorities in check. 

Remember being an emo tween/teenager? Unfortunately, we do too. Listening to sad songs on repeat. Thinking we our first school relationships were "forever." Posting attention-seeking messages to social media, hoping someone notice all the pain. While the depression was often very real, there's a painfully cringey- and amusing - aspect to people who wear their hearts on their sleeve on the internet. Don't believe us? Scroll down and brace yourself for some serious discomfort.

These days, many people rely on Tinder to meet a new partner/buddy rather than leaving it to fate. This means that people have had to pick up their online banter game - a lot. The wrong word or joke can make or break your chance with the potential one. Whether you participate in the Tinder game or like to observe, here are the funniest memes from r/Tinder from last week. Enjoy, kids.

Anyone who's been single in the last decade probably understands just how bleak Tinder can be. Some people can be straight up awful but 90% of Tinder exchanges are generally just boring. Once in a while, thanks to subreddits like r/tinder, we get to witness those strange and awkward conversations between star-crossed millennials that make for pretty entertaining content. It's especially fun to see when people don't take themselves too seriously with their one-liners or their profile bios. We've picked out some pretty amusing Tinder moments for your enjoyment, and there's more where that came from.
