25 Red Flags And Awkward Moments From Online Dating

Most people have probably had a dating app on their phone at one point or another. Whether it was to seriously use it or to download it "just for fun," anyone who says they haven't perused Tinder is probably lying, though the fact that people still try and find real love on these apps is kind of shocking considering what's on there. From scary photos and intimidating bios to cringeworthy way-too-forward pickup lines, it's hard to stay positive through the swiping and matching. Some people do it though, somehow, so maybe it's worth it in the end.

As a way for people to cope with the insanity found on dating apps, there is Reddit's /r/Tinder, in which users share their most odd, uncomfortable, or funny moments from the dating apps. It's pretty funny to see what happens on there, whether you're single or not. Here are 25 awkward encounters, terrifying finds, and silly messages to make you feel better about your own dating life.
