24 Tragic Online Dating Encounters From Hopeful Singles

Online dating is not for everyone. Even though it seems to be the most common form of dating these days, these dating apps do not always go smoothly. There are so many dating apps out there, such as Tinder and Bumble, and they all follow a similar format. You swipe through people, read their bios, maybe, see their photos, and decide on a whim if you like them or not. If you match with someone, then the idea is that a conversation starts.

There is a lot of insanity on these apps, though, from people's concerning profiles to terrible pickup lines, to people just being straight-up mean. It isn't impossible to find love on these apps, but it takes a lot of patience to weed through the red flags and crazy people on them. Reddit's /r/Tinder and /r/Bumble are two subreddits where users can come together and share their most painful moments from dating apps, so no one is alone in the search for true love. Here are just 24 of those terrible moments to shake your head at today.
