It's hard out there for a single person in 2019. Dating apps like Tinder have supposedly made it easier to find a date, but sometimes we feel like it just complicates things. You gotta deal with ghosting, crazies, and the occasional conversation that totally flops, such as the following. But hey, at least we got quite a bit of amusement out of reading through these!

Ever have it out with someone (either seriously or in good fun) and think of the perfect comeback hours later when you're in the shower? Happens to us all the time. These clever souls didn't have to suffer like that - they came up with some seriously smart sh*t at just the right moment. Salute. 

Swiping through Tinder can often be a supremely thankless and tedious activity. Everyone's looking for their "partner in crime," and everyone likes pizza and craft beer. Every now and then, however, a bio comes along that speaks volumes. A bio that showcases humor and intellect. If you're lucky the photos will be stimulating, too. This is a collection of the bios we like - may we all stumble upon them in our hunt for love.

The pandemic has been hard for single people out there, especially for the ones who despised dating apps before global lockdown—now it feels like the only option besides, well, staying single. We've got a big collection of relatable tweets and amusing screenshots that paint a picture of what the online dating world is like for others. If you've been having trouble romantically connecting with strangers on the internet, trust us, you're not alone.

When boredom strikes, what will you do? Do you have someone to turn to? Or are you left to your own devices? Boredom can strike at ANY TIME. It's very important to be prepared, to have a plan. And unfortunately, you can't rely on people to quell the tedium. You need to depend on yourself. That's why we're here to promote memes. When the going gets boring, they're our number one solution. You don't need money to enjoy them, and you don't need a friend. Memes are the self-sufficient humor-lover's antidote to monotony. And we've got a whole lot of them right here for you.

It's always challenging to come up with a good opening line for someone you matched with on a dating app. Do you go with something totally extra or just start with the ol' hello? Everyone's got their style and a foolproof trick that works for everyone doesn't exist because, well, everyone's different. We've got a bunch of amusing conversations and one-liners people tried from the world of online dating. Maybe you'll want to use some of these or maybe you'll learn a thing or two about what not to do.

You know what they say: if one relationship doesn't work out then don't fret because there's plenty of fish in the sea! Either way, dating apps are always really frustrating, but at least they can offer us some comedic relief! Check out Fail Blog and eBaum's World for more Tinder madness!

Okay, before you run to the comments so that you can be the first to declare that these screenshots are probably fake—we know. These are memes. Think of these memes as little funny stories wrapped up into a single image macro. It's good practice to assume that most of the things you see on the internet are fake, and it also makes memes more enjoyable! These funny messages made us laugh because sometimes text exchanges can be pretty bizarre IRL. 

Don't let the term fool you—softbois are not simply in touch with their emotions (we're all for that!) A softboi will often use corny platitudes and 'alternative' interests to get laid. If someone rejects or ignores them, a softboi will quickly become bitter and turn to insults. A sensitive person might write 'I'm delicate like a sea sponge' in their tinder bio, whereas a softboi would say something like, 'I'm into red wine and girls with daddy issues.' The @beam_me_up_softboi Instagram account is dedicated to documenting the most wince-worthy instances of softboi cringe. Out of the hundreds of submissions they've posted, we've narrowed it down to forty-three to give you a taste. 

How did people meet before dating apps? It seems like ages ago since singles were courting each other IRL. Of course there have been plenty of people who stuck to their guns and refused to download Tinder, but now with the plague making us all involuntarily anti-social, seems like online dating is our only option for the foreseeable future. 

If you've just downloaded a dating app and are dying a little inside, hopefully these screenshots of entertaining Tinder conversations will cheer you up a bit. Interactions with strangers online can range from cringe, to wholesome, to just plain weird, and we're grateful r/Tinder has given us a glimpse into all the hilarious private Tinder worlds. 

The internet and smartphones have done wonders for the world of dating. We now have the opportunity to take our absolute lack of shame and morals outside of our local bar and use them to lure similarly filth-minded individuals into our bedrooms. These seemingly shamless individuals are doing just that - and doing it with style.

Dating is rough. Dating on the internet? Extra rough. Online dating in the middle of a pandemic? Forget about it. Ghosting's never been so easy. But for all the pain and suffering that searching for love brings, we have to give credit where credit's due: the insanity makes for some very good and relatable memes. 

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.

Many people are in happy relationships, but there are also those of us who can't seem to lock anyone down no matter how hard we try. These memes are for the latter. Godspeed, because it's rough out there. 

For people who have found their special someone, these ain't for you, move along.

One of the worst parts about being on Tinder is that the following stereotypes about people are absolutely, 100% true. You've got the girl who "just loves the outdoors," or the dude who thinks "pizza and IPAs are life." News flash: hiking isn't that great and literally everyone likes pizza and beer. You ain't special.
