'I still cringe': 20+ online dating mishaps from hopelessly single folks

'I still cringe': 20+ online dating mishaps from hopelessly single folks

Without physical and social cues, dating can get lost in translation really quickly. When written incorrectly, a joke can get easily misinterpreted, sarcasm can remain unclear, and the potentiality for a first date can go down the drain in an instant. This is the reality of how most relationships begin in this day and age. It's sort of like how actors and performers discuss the differences between auditioning and working on a play or film. Mastering the art of auditioning is its own craft, sepa…

'You love me? You don't know anything about me!': Top Tinder Moments of the Week (January 12, 2024)

This one goes out to people who are trying to put themselves out there this year! It's not easy to get on the apps and start swiping, especially when the other singletons on said apps are ridiculous humans who need to be called out on their nonsensical behavior. From people who are strangely into the fact that their potential date has other single roommates to folks who boldly acknowledge that their love language is “manipulation in all its forms,” the wild world of Tinder has continued to main…

'You don't think it would be weird being my boss?': Surprised dude gets offered job by desperate recruiter on Tinder

Thirst traps on LinkedIn and now job recruiters on Tinder? What on this gosh green earth will we come across next? It's almost as if we've stepped out of the bounds of reality and now are hurtling forward on some alternative bizarro timeline in which the rules of the universe have been completely flip-flopped.

'Hi, I'm rich': 20 bad pickup lines that surprisingly worked

Almost everyone has been both the giver and receiver of a pickup line. What's most surprising to us here at FAIL Blog are not necessarily the pickup lines that failed or even the ones that worked. We're curious about the pickup lines that should never have worked but somehow did. What does that say about the state of dating culture in 2023 and what does that say about how we have lowered our collective standards? On a positive note, it's nice that we have normalized the concept of taking big sw…

'I only matched [with] you as a social experiment': Top Tinder Moments of the Week (November 19, 2023)

Finding kindness on dating apps is like an elaborate game of Where's Waldo: you know it's there somewhere, but you have to scan through a lot of nonsense to find it. Of course, there are success stories that allegedly make all of those hours spent swiping worth it. Sure, the chances that you will find your soulmate might be slim, but at the very least, you are destined to get a couple of good stories and maybe even a free meal or two out of the whole “dating thing.” In this economy, that's wort…

'Don't waste your time [swiping] right': Top Tinder Moments of the Week (November 5, 2023)

'Don't waste your time [swiping] right': Top Tinder Moments of the Week (November 5, 2023)

There's an odd smell in the air. No, it's not the smell of a home-cooked email. No, it's not the smell of a late-night pizza delivery you forgot you ordered and then didn't pick up while it was still warm because you fell asleep on your couch. The smell we're talking about is the smell of desperation emanating from the wild world of online Tinder messaging. These days, people are getting more and more direct online, which in theory is a good thing but in practice, it's just plain old weird. The…

'On a scale of 1-10, how high maintenance are you?': Top Pickup Lines of the Week (October 8, 2023)

No one ever said that the most memorable pickup lines had to be the great ones. Some pickup lines are creative and clever and wholesome. Those are obviously strong in quality. For this list, we've included a few of those ones for good measure. However, cynical-minded folks like me will be more interested in the pickup lines that are so bold and so bad that somehow they're good?! We love a bold swing and a miss here at FAIL Blog, and you have to hand it to some of these singletons because they r…

Now that the summer is coming to a close and now that no one had the summer flings they really wanted, it's time for our weekly roundup of the top Tinder moments, courtesy of Reddit's endlessly entertaining r/Tinder subreddit. There has to be something about the August heat that makes people become especially forward on dating apps, or perhaps people are always like that now and we're just grasping at straws for excuses. The reality is the summer drought has made us all thirsty for the change o…

'My date asked if we knew each other': Guy goes on cringe first date when he discovers his waitress is the other girl he was messaging that day

It's not exactly easy to play it cool in a situation like this. Picture this: you wake up one morning and you scroll on social media for a bit. Then, you complete your lazy morning routine by checking out your dating app matches and messages. You start to message someone new, you exchange witty texts, and you agree to catch up later because you both have to get ready for work. You then check in with the person you had already been messaging for quite some time now because the two of you have a…

10+ Top Tinder Moments From the Wild World of Online Dating

When you venture forth into the wild wilderness of online dating, there's no telling who (or what) you might find… Turn over enough rocks, and you're bound to uncover some creatures who would have been better off remaining under said rock. But that shouldn't discourage us from pursuing meaningful connections with other people. Remember, if you turn over a rock and find a toad… It might turn out to be a prince. That—or you're just going to look really silly kissing a bunch of frogs out in the ra…
