dating fails

Red flags are one thing. But to make someone straight up walk out of a date is another. Sh*t's gotta be serious. Redditor u/PorridgeBeforeBed took to the r/AskMen subreddit to ask members to share their ejection-worthy date stories. We'll give you some spoilers: a lot of people are addicted to their phones, a lot of people are looking for free meals, and others don't seem to understand that a date is between two people. The stories are disappointing, but not seriously surprising. So strap in, get your reading glasses, and learn what not to do on a romantic evening.

Let's face it: dating these days can seriously suck. With Tinder, Bumble, and OkCupid, it seems nobody wants to commit and everybody is just waiting for the next best thing. People are way more open to straying, and a lot of morally unsound flirting seems to be going down in DMS. Were things easier before the days of the internet? Maybe in some ways. These depressing comicsharken to that era in style, but reflect the woes of modern lovers. They might be sobering, but they definitely make us feel seen. 

Okay, so we know that Tinder and like-minded dating apps aren't ALL bad. In fact, they can be pretty damn addictive to swipe through and can give you a little ego boost to boot. And some people get real creative with their profiles, which you'll see below. The following memes and moments provide a little insight into the good, the bad and the ugly sides of dating.

Ever think to yourself "Man, dating is not even worth it"? Well, these pics are proof that you're probably right. Tinder has the ability to make you lose hope in humanity and find hope again... but this one makes us want to become nuns and priests now. Bring out the chastity belts. 

Memes for everyone!
