25 Hilarious Moments We All Go Through on Dating Apps | “I Shall Meet Prospective Suitors the Way Nature Intended”

Going through dating apps to find your soul mate is tough. You install the app, build a dating CV and then don't exactly know what to look for so you think of pickup lines, try your best not to be ghosted and probably go on a few dates. If things don't go well, you decide staying alone is better, delete the app, feel lonely, try looking for that someone on Target or something, reinstall the app and face the entire cycle again. Phew! It's a never-ending cycle of annoying moments. However, almost all of us face these moments on dating apps. So, why not laugh at them together? Here is a list of chaotic moments on dating apps we can all relate to.
1. Delete the apps and find your 'kindred spirit' in the wild
I have once again deleted all my dating apps. From now on I shall meet prospective suitors the way nature intended: wearing bright flashy colours and doing a lil mating dance in a house I have constructed from sticks and spit

me: “what’s something you really enjoy? like, you’ll die for this thing—“

9. There's plenty of fish in the sea...so why you holding a dead one in your hand?!
Men. Why are you all holding fish in your profile pictures for dating? Do you think we look at you and go “this man can feed me”, EXPLAIN YOURSELVES.

10. Ghostbot be like
Dating apps in the near future will be AI bots responding and ghosting each other

11. Honest Hinge moments
I actually appreciate when men on hinge put “a girl who can actually hold a conversation” under the looking for prompt so I can know they hate women up front

12. When every other swipe leads you to a classmate
going to your hometown and swiping on tinder is like looking through the yearbook but much worse

13. Another villain origin story
being banned on tinder, bumble, AND hinge for literally no reason whatsoever in the middle of a cold and rainy cuffing season is in fact my villain origin story

14. Probably being alone is better
tinder is great if you want to remember why being alone is just fine actually

15. Questioning everything
would love to read something about what happens now with dating, everyone I speak to who is also dating/trying to just seems so miserable about it, the apps are uninspiring, people seem on the defensive/ghosting everywhere, like where does it go from here
— Mollie Goodfellow (@hansmollman) March 6, 2023
16. When they turn to your Instagram
17. Maybe head to Target or something
I’m just gonna delete my dating apps and head to Lowe’s to “look confused” in the lumber isle

18. If not a date, you at least got a good story to tell
a girl on TikTok talking about how she had a Hinge date, texted him letting her know she was on her way, got on the tube, he replied while she’s underground and by the time she arrived and had reception back, he’d already spiralled and blocked lol

we’re in the PITS.
19. They come back in various forms...even married forms

20. You just gotta be honest about it
21. When you don't have the budget for therapy
22. When it helps you climb the career ladder

23. Gotta catch up with those pickup lines
I downloaded a dating app and one of the first messages I got was ‘woah I love emo’s’

Please bro what the hell 😭😭😭
24. The horrors of actually going on a date
