The process of online dating can be a bit of an intimidating one. Apps like Tinder allow people to efficiently and somewhat effectively search through a huge pool of singles (who are hopefully really single) in their area. Sure it may take some of the genuineness out of the whole dating thing, like maybe it's a little vain, but that doesn't mean it doesn't work for lots of people. There are many downsides to online dating and dating apps though. People are just so bold on there, it's like no one's words have any meaning.

The pickup lines are getting worse and worse, too. Cornier, more invasive, more icky. Some of them are fairly successful though, so it's just a gamble. Single Redditors who are users of these apps like to share their encounters from online dating that have had varying levels of success. While some are more wholesome or funny, some are so bad you'll never want to download Tinder or be glad you never needed it. Here are 21 screenshots taken from the apps to enjoy today.
