dating

Relationships can end for a multitude of reasons. The timing can be off, the in-laws can be insane, sometimes the sex is just weird. It's natural to part ways with people based on uncontrollable circumstances. However, sometimes we are guilty of making mistakes that either jeopardized our relationship with our partner or our loyalty to ourselves. It's all a part of the learning process, but damn is it annoying to look back and realize you completely messed up.

People are sharing the relationship mistakes they are deeply guilty of making on Reddit, and maybe looking at them will help us avoid them.

Dating can be a nerve-wracking, exhausting experience for all the singles out there, but generally, if a first date doesn't go well, people just part ways and move on. But there are certain dates that stay in people's memories that they just can't erase because the dates were so terrible/weird/creepy/all of the above. A Redditor started a thread about the worst first dates people have been on, and things get real weird real quick. Have any of your own first dates been as weird as the ones below? Let us know in the comments. 

Usually, we like to share disaster dates or awkward relationship stories. But sometimes it is nice to read something positive. After all, there must be some reason people continue to put themselves out there. Occasionally people do actually have some fun dates, and these stories could be used as motivation to keep going for the gold. A really good date is the first step into a potential really good relationship after all. Or it could just be a good time you can think back to fondly.

People are sharing the best dates they've ever been on on Reddit, and it's surprisingly refreshing.

People are into some weird shi*t these days. Gone are the days when sucking on toes and peeing on someone was considered 'kinky' because clearly, there are a ton of other downright crazy things people have asked for in the bedroom. We teamed up with dating blog The Single Society to bring you some of the craziest sexual requests the Internet has to offer. Have YOU ever had someone ask you to do something particularly out of the ordinary during sex? Submit it here!

If you've ever been wronged by a man you're dating—and let's be real, which woman hasn't—then you might have felt tempted to send them a scathing text afterward expressing your disappointment. Hopefully, you have good friends who ensured you didn't end up doing that, but in the meantime, Instagram account To The Guys I've (Kinda) Dated has your back when it comes to getting the closure you need from any men who let you down. They publish open letters from women to the guys they've dated, helping to give them the satisfaction of having the last word. 

One night stands are nothing to be ashamed of. It's a totally natural part of life, and as long as we're all being safe and honest, there's no reason to give a sh** what anyone else thinks. That being said, they can really be cringy sometimes. That awkwardness usually begins the moment you finish, and then it's just like... What now? Well, if any of this seems relatable, or at least entertaining, maybe you will enjoy these thirteen bizarre one-night stand stories that some brave people shared on Reddit.

You know when the DJ at the club yells "all the single ladies out there MAKE SOME NOISE!!!" Yeah, the dude wants us to make noise because of all the struggles singles go through. He knows it. We know it. And we cheer in response to his call like idiots when we should really be crying. Then again, that's what clubbing is about - cheering in the  

 Dating apps have only made the search for the right man even weirder because you have to sift through a whole bunch of weirdos before finding Prince Charming - if he exists on the apps, that is. Twitter is one big online therapy session, and the singles of Twitter take to the platform on a daily basis to share their funniest thoughts about dating apps on a weekly basis. Scroll down for the best tweets from this week. 

What is a 'humblebrag,' you ask? A humblebrag is an ostensibly modest or self-deprecating statement whose actual purpose is to draw attention to something of which one is proud...and they are annoying as f*ck. Many people on dating apps will use such statements to flex about how wonderful they think they are, but in reality, they probably f*cking suck. With the help of dating blog The Single Society, we have compiled a list of the 12 WORST humblebrags people have heard when out on a date.

With the myriad of personalities out there in the dating world, there are some people who really take things way too far way too fast. After date one, a stage 5 clinger might already be planning your wedding or will lose their shit if their text isn't replied to in what they deem a timely manner. We receive many stories of these bothersome specimens in particular, so here is a list of eight times a date seriously needed to pump the brakes brought to you by dating blog The Single Society.

The female community universally knows that jerks, f*ckboys, and a**holes are the worst, and should be avoided at all costs. Yet, we also have to admit that they're so good at what they do. For some reason, many of us keep coming back for more, and we're not really sure how to explain this toxic attraction. Thankfully, we can always count on Redditors to explain the strange phenomena of the world. Last year, a Redditor really wanted to understand WTF is going on when it comes to women who are attracted to jerks, and his fellow Redditors pulled through with all kinds of explanations. Scroll down to gain a better sense of our toxic attractions, and how we could avoid being into jerks in the future. 

If you're a woman who likes men, then you've probably been in a relationship, a situationship, or on a date with a man who disappointed you in some way. Because, well... men! And I'll bet you also never really got the opportunity to tell them precisely what you thought of them, and you're still holding onto a little of that anger. It sucks not to get the closure you need when a relationship ends, and the Instagram account To The Guys I've Dated is helping women to take care of that. They post funny and real letters of disappointment from girls to their "exes." Each week, we bring you a fresh batch of these letters, so dive in and scroll through this latest haul, and then check out last week's in case you missed them.

It takes a lot of confidence to go on a date. There are a million ways it can go wrong, and yet we still manage to sum up the power to do it all the frickin time. I believe we all deserve a round of applause for consistently putting ourselves out there. Most of the time our dates do not lead to something bigger, but we learn from each one. We gain lessons from every person we open ourselves up to. But sometimes that lesson is just: Stop going after a-holes.

Dating has evolved over time, and somehow we've arrived at the age of dating apps. It's so wonderful to be here together... right? If you've been on the apps as long as I have, it's actually the opposite of wonderful. Just hearing the words Tinder, OkCupid, and Hinge makes me physically ill. Okay, so maybe I'm being a bit of a drama queen, but try one day on the apps and you'll see what I mean. The singles of Twitter know exactly what I'm talking about. Check out this week's funniest tweets about people's ridiculous experiences on dating apps below. 

If it's not your first time on the rodeo, then you know relationships are complicated. Jealousy is often an issue that comes up, but people seriously need to learn how to trust their significant others (unless there have been acts of cheating in the past). On Reddit's infamous "Am I The A**hole?" subreddit, a Redditor told a quick tale about how her friend's boyfriend gave her a ride because her brother with a health condition needed his meds STAT. When she got back, however, the guy's girlfriend was upset that the two were alone in a car together because they dated once upon a time. The GF is obvs super insecure, and should probably discuss this with her BF instead of taking it out on her friend, in my humble opinion. Scroll down for what Redditors had to say about this drama. 

Being on a dating app can be very exhausting. Some people are so cringy and it seems that nobody has told them. Like, I hate to break it to you Chad, putting women down is so 20th century. Now we actually go for people who respect us, or at least we try. It can be hard when the dating pool appears so limited! At least we know the kinds of creeps to avoid... for the most part.

People are sharing the dating app bios that make them want to delete the entire app, and boy are some of these cringe.

Let's be honest with ourselves, there's always a reason we're single. It may not be that simple to figure out, but somethings there. It could be our lack of hygiene, our hoarding problem, or our inability to trust. They're all viable options. If you're not sure what your reason is, then lucky for you @JimmyFallon asked people to share their reasons on Twitter. Maybe your 'Why' will become clear to you by the end.
