20 Times We Have All Decided To Give Up On Dating

We have all had those times when we’ve considered giving up on dating and taking up celibacy.

Relate much?

1. After that awful date that made you feel physically sick that you had to actually bolt out.

Him: Do you like cooking?

Me: Yes, why?

Him: Like karo, na karo, karna toh hai hi! *wink, wink*

*throws up*

2. When that awesome and amazing person you come across on Tinder is a Grade A creep in real life.

Me: This is a nice restaurant. I like the food here.

Him: *staring at boobs* I like them too.

3. When you think you hit it off with someone, only to know that they are only flirting with you to get to your friend.

Him: Hey *winks*

Me: Hi, want to get a drink sometime?

Him: Um, I am busy.  But, hey, can I get your friend’s number though?

*cries internally*

4. When your favorite couple calls it quits. (Read Nina + Ian Somerhalder)

I mean, if they can’t work it out, what is the point of us mere mortals even trying?

*sobs quietly*

Him: Hey, want to go for a movie?

Me: *turns to mush* YES!

And continue lying in bed!
