dating fails

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. 

The whole dating scene is a wildly unpredictable one. Too many times unsuspecting folks can fly blind right into nothing short of a waking nightmare. Dating apps can certainly play a part in this vicious cycle. It's as if the person you spent all that time exchanging virtual pleasantries with before actually meeting, was nothing more than a work of fiction. If you ever find yourself in the middle of a date that is erring comfortably on the side of absolute disaster, then you'd best dip ship like there's no tomorrow. 

Sometimes dates end up being completely disastrous. We're talking situations that feel like literal waking nightmares. The kinds of gnarly life moments that you'd just as much forget ever happened. These particular dates absolutely fit the bill for that. 

The whole "test" thing sounds wildly dysfunctional, my dude. This woman asked the people of Reddit whether or not her brother was in the wrong for dumping his girlfriend for being a "gold digger." Most of the comments seem to point at the fact that the brother clearly had some other issues going on. 

We can always count on Tinder for the cheesy pickup lines, the spicy wordplay, and the bold and unfiltered banter. It's a place where the world's hopeless romantics and spicy silvertongues collide to exchange pleasantries, or get in genuine verbal squabbles. Sometimes though, all the odds are defied, and people somehow end up walking away from the "successfully paired right swipe" with an actual date set up. 

We love nothing more than a good old fashioned language translation fail. Languages can be wildly confusing, and sometimes that goes on to inspire absolutely hilarious misunderstandings between people that would otherwise be getting along just fine. In this case though, we learn that this particular misunderstanding was the straw that broke the camel's back, and apparently this guy was a dang "side guy." 

Man oh man, nothing can bring the blood to a boil like having to deal with family members dishing out their toxic opinions on matters they were never asked to get involved with in the first place. This particular scenario involves a brother asking the morality defenders of Reddit's AITA community whether or not he was in the wrong for telling his sister to lower her dating standards based off the fact that she's a single mother. 

We're not trying to promote infidelity or try to make anyone better at cheating on their spouse, but who in their right mind leaves a paper trail? It seems like if you wanted to get away with this sort of thing, you'd try not to leave official evidence of your extra-marital affairs. For a cheater brought to justice, here's someone who left their cheating ex on the top of a mountain.

Those location services will get you. This guy certainly learned an unfortunate life lesson. All in all, this is actually terrifying. Glad that his mom was around to handle the situation. 

People find all kinds of wild ways to keep themselves entertained on Tinder. They'll bust out ridiculous pickup lines that either work or fail in glorious fashion. They'll also lay the cheesiness on real thick. Sometimes it would seem that all the chaos gives way to genuine moments of connection between people. Maybe not taking any of it too seriously helps the whole process of getting to know someone. 

"No worries, I'm not crazy like your ex." Run, run for the hills! This guy dodged a big bullet with this Tinder match. Brace yourself for unhealthy levels of tireless pushiness, cringe, and anger. Like, she seems mad at something more than half the time. Yikes. 

Sometimes you catch yourself in the middle of the forever alone lifestyle, and realize just how blatant your singleness is. 

Some people are better left in the rearview mirror of your life. Here's thirteen of those people. 

BULLET.DODGED.

This guy has been playing a (somewhat) cruel prank on strangers by texting them that he's breaking up with them. The results of this have been highly variable, but ultimately hilarious. 

These are the moments where you're better off being forever alone.
