Photos that show what's wrong with modern dating

Dating has never been easy, but it seems to be harder than ever before in the current climate. New technology doesn't quite help us, dating etiquette gets more complicated and people stay single later in life. Sometimes we just need someone to mirror our own frustration, and that's what memes are for.

Keep reading to see some of the funniest material on the internet about what it's like to navigate the wonderful world of dating.

happy anniversary baby

For their first anniversary, this guy decided to take his girlfriend to where they first met.

She doesn't look very impressed. We can't say we blame her.

Find differences

There is a clear difference between these two photographs. The girl who did the damage on the right just wanted to teach her man a lesson.

The handwork on the left means it's really over.

real bro

This man really cared about his neighbor.

After learning that the girl he spent the night with had a boyfriend, he left a note for him on the underside of the toilet seat.

Cover with S

If your name is Cinnamon, that's bad enough.

You don't need to make things worse by telling people that your name is actually spelled in the most stupid way.

All those Hallmark movies

If Hallmark movies and chick movies have taught us anything, it's that it's entirely possible to be afraid of this man.

You better watch your girlfriend during Christmas.

Hold up

Hey, it's only been 86 months, we've never had "talks" about you being my soulmate.

You know what they say about people who assume... Let's go back for a moment.

Happy Holidays!

This woman doesn't have a family of her own to put on a Christmas card.

Instead, she decided to send this masterpiece to her parents, friends and loved ones.

Good night

Single people have a hard time in many ways, but at least no one is cheating on them.

They can sleep well knowing they won't be betrayed.

Baby mom revealing

This guy literally showed the baby's mom on Instagram. We've heard about gender reveal, but this is something on the next level.

I wonder how many likes he got on this post.

Gift from me to me

Sometimes you just need to pamper yourself. If you are a strong, independent woman who doesn't need a man, you can buy gifts for yourself and no one can stop you.

It's a joy to be alone.

It worked!

This guy put up a billboard and made the local news to expand his search for the perfect girl.

Incredibly, it really worked. This is Mark's new girlfriend.

Bring the chickens to the side

Oddly enough, this might be the most reassuring image on this list.

The girl is not threatened by other women, and the guy is loyal to his girlfriend despite her extreme mood swings. This is true love.

You won't fool anyone

This woman was trying to trick the internet into thinking her husband was taking pictures of her.

Take a closer look, her shadow clearly shows that she is taking a selfie.

date with the game

Sometimes the best date is a date with a new video game that just came out.

Video games never make excuses or deceive you.

29 vs 31

This duo is known as Garfunkel and Oats and they have a song about the difference between 29 and 31.

The difference is only two years, but it seems like an eternity.

Problems with living together

Living together comes with a whole host of new challenges.

One of those concerns is that you have to be okay with using the bathroom in the same house.

Who are “we”?

When Bae begins to bring the two of you together, you realize that you are deeply bogged down.

Although, if 8 years have passed, then you were already deep, kind sir.

say it

Sometimes you don't need workable solutions to your very manageable problems. You just want to hear you complain.

Why can't boyfriends understand this? Get out of here with your helpful suggestions.

Miss Side Chick

Well, isn't that just a picture of dating in the 21st century! We see the sideways glance of this girl.

She definitely knows what's going on here. Let's hope she ends the relationship quickly.

Be very, very quiet...

If your girlfriend has to go to a neighbor to ask her not to do hard things when you're around, chances are you're not a very good boyfriend.

Sorry to break it down for you this way.

The same comforter

How is it that every high school student had this blue plaid blanket?

You just know that his mom went and bought it for him and that it probably had ramen stains on it.

This is progress

This girl went from cheating boyfriend to boyfriend who loves buffalo chicken sauce.

We consider this progress. Buffalo chicken dip is delicious.

Keep it inside

Men like to keep all their feelings locked up, while women like to reveal their feelings at every opportunity.

It's just one of those things that we will never solve.

When it hurts it hurts

Few things can hurt more than being hit on the ankle with a razor scooter. Step on Lego - second place.

Apparently, catching feelings is worse. Much worse. We feel you bro.

I have a friend

Ladies, even though 90% of the time a man looks at you or talks to you because he wants to be with you.

10% of the time it's because you look really stupid.

Complicate things with me

There is a time and place for logic, and there is a time and place for going crazy just because you can.

Men, it's your job to know when to play which card.

Gotta get that bread

Some ladies want to date because they are looking for love and some ladies want to date because they are looking for their next meal.

It's a hard world. We must get our bread.

Get out

If you've just started dating and are already fighting all the time, this is a good sign that it's time to end the relationship.

The beginning should be fun and easy.

May the odds always be in your favor

By the time we're old enough to date someone seriously, most of us have packed some baggage along the way.

Then you meet someone new and they want to get to know you. They know little about everything that goes on in your head, overcomplicating every text or day. But please try!!

Bananas know how I feel

Between dating profiles and Instagram, it seems like we're always in the public eye, hoping people will like us.

What many of these sad selfies are actually saying is that these bananas are brave enough to claim the mark. We need love! Choose us! In the demonstration of bananas, which is life, we are in the same basket.

Where does everything go?

When you're a teenager, no one is married. Then when you graduate from high school, couples start getting married. And more lonely people disappear.

This happens while you are having fun, not looking for anything serious. And then one day, boom. You are in your 30s, you want to meet someone, and the dating pool is less than desirable to stick your finger in.

Change the channel

Friends, relatives, colleagues... when you are alone, it seems that everyone is investing in your love, but nothing happens at all.

What should you say in such situations? It's like they think they're going to question his existence. Next topic please. There is nothing to share here.

Did I miss something?

Sometimes it's better not to know all the facts. What should you do with research that explains you either missed your soul mate or you don't have one?

And if you've already met them, then who was it? Good luck in your next life, I think.

Let's not go crazy

It's hard to be alone, but sometimes it's even harder to put on your pants. Of course, it would be nice to have someone to hold hands with while you watch a movie.

But then again, we're already watching a movie in sweatpants, so we're halfway there. Dating sounds downright tiresome, and we're more likely to complain about being alone.

Yeah. As I thought.

We already know what a sad state we are in, so why are we doing this to ourselves? There is nothing sadder than being hungry, going to the fridge and opening it only to find absolutely nothing that interests you…. sigh.

It's almost the same frustrated feeling when you open a dating app... here it is again.

All of the above

We don't know where this screenshot was taken from, but they found something here. Which of these points is too close to you?

Perhaps you can match each of these traits with someone you dated in the past. And who admits that he is evil? Dating is really like a game of dice.

Well this is disappointing

Single people face many different ways in which they can be let down. And it's usually something that comes out of the left margin. Like you finally got your lover to make plans with you, worry about the date.

Then you realize that they took their friend with them, as well as a piece of chalk to mark the pavement around you, because you are now in the friend zone.

Trying to meet someone like...

We are fed a lot of lies about love from Hollywood and the rest of the entertainment industry. The songs painted a picture in our heads of how easy it must be to meet people and eventually find the love of your life.

This girl went out and took her milkshake, waiting for the boys to come to her yard. And now we are waiting.

It's hard to be original

You want to be an incredibly funny person.

Try witty screensavers to stand out from the herd of other singles on dating apps, but that's a lot easier said than done.

"6 feet if that matters"

Except that everyone knows that men who claim to be exactly 6 feet tall on their dating profile are almost always shorter than that.

You know what people like more than tall men? Honesty.

Some strategic editing

Never trust someone on a dating app whose entire profile consists of sharply cropped photos.

You always have to wonder what they carve, or better yet, who they cut out of these photos.

The bar is so low

Yes, it's nice that he made the effort to come up with some kind of plan, but besides, the bar is literally on the floor.

Men like to think that women are incredibly complex creatures, but in fact, even if you just plan to take her to McDonald's, you still have a plan and she will be happy.

He has a dot

Modern dating could be better if everyone was direct about what they want. Yes or no answers, no games.

It would be better for every party involved and it would be much easier to navigate the world of dating apps.

Your Roommates Won't Always Be Your Helper

Where's the fun in your roommate just helping you by cleaning your room without playing a little prank?

If your friend can't handle Princess Di's shrine, she still won't fit.

Put it all on the line

You might as well be open about yourself so that the other person can decide whether they are interested or not.

It helps before either of you get too invested.

Will I hear wedding bells in their future?

You should do your best to make that quick connection if you are trying to date through the apps.

You have a hell of a lot of other people to fight.

Red flags are flying everywhere

I know that we should all be open-minded and not judge people by knowing only one or two things about them...

But it tells you everything you need to know about this person.

It's the usual courtesy

It's funny that this man had the audacity to charge someone for no-show, but at the same time, maybe he's up to something?

He put in the time and effort, you should at least have the decency to tell him you're not coming.
