relationships

We've all experienced the struggles of singledom, but how are you supposed to handle actually being in a relationship? You now have to take another person's well-being into account and have to tone down the selfish side that was more prevalent when you were single. Relationships aren't one-sided. You have to give and take equally. Twitter has turned the idea that "a relationship should be 50/50" into a hilarious trend, offering their own advice for what a relationship needs in order for the two parties to meet in the middle. Scroll down for the best advice about maintaining an equal balance in your own relationship. 

Do not be fooled by movies and TV, flirting is not always easy. There are so many factors that need to be in line in order for a flirting attempt to be successful. Firstly, they have to know you're flirting. Secondly, they have to want you to flirt with them. Thirdly, you have to sum up some serious finesse.

Maybe it sounds easy when written out in three steps, but it's definitely not something that comes naturally to everyone. That's why it is so impressive when someone actually accomplishes a clever flirting attempt. It's definitely a roller-coaster, you have to shoot your shot, but also read the room. Either way, be careful, It's a crazy world out there.

Relationships can be challenging, but it makes things a little easier when you can vent about it on Twitter. And you can bet that whatever frustrations you're going through in your relationship, someone else is experiencing the same thing in theirs. Each week we collect the funniest relationship tweets we could find over the past seven days, and these are just as funny as last week's collection. With any luck, they'll make you feel a little less alone with your own love-related struggles.  

Flirting is definitely not a skill that everyone has. There are about a million techniques. One can go with cheesy pick-up lines, subtle eye contact, light teasing, or of course, they could always try out the 'Ignore her in front of all of her friends until she gets so insecure that she only accepts affirmation from you' route. Can you guess which one is my least favorite?

Regardless of your flirting level, it will always depend on the person that you're with. If you're really comfortable with someone that you find attractive, often you can't help yourself from flirting. That's when you know you've really got it bad.

Now, let's celebrate how awkward it feels to put yourself out there in the best way possible: through memes.

There a lot of factors that cause someone to be attracted to another person. The media loves to emphasize how important our looks are, that way we will continue buying hundreds of products to keep our faces smooth, our nails long, and our mustaches non-existent. But what attraction really means at its core is that somebody is literally pulled towards you like a magnet. Something about your energy attracts them and they want to be closer to you.

This Reddit thread capitalizes on the non-physical traits people are attracted to in a person. I would argue that, to many people, these characteristics are far more important than looks. This means you may have been a 10 without even knowing it.

When you love someone, it means accepting them for all their flaws, even the gross ones. No one is perfect 100% of the time (except you, of course), and every person comes with their quirks and annoying habits. But perhaps the most annoying habit you can find in a partner is someone who snores; it's like winning the 'annoying partner lottery'.

First dates are an unavoidable part of life. Unless of course, you are one of those lucky ones who begins to fall in love with your best friend, and then you can't really figure out when the 'hanging out' ended and the 'dates' started. If that is you, you are living in a rom-com and I want to switch lives.

For the rest of us, however, we have to start from square one. We have to get all gussied up, and meet a random person in a public atmosphere and figure out whether their appearance is f*ckable, and their personality is tolerable.

If you have already experienced your fair share of awkward first dates, these memes will bring you right back. You're welcome.

Attraction works in mysterious ways. Even people's jobs could be a make it or break it. You've heard of horrific dates, now feast your eyes on what women consider to be horrific jobs in a potential partner.  I'm personally a major sucker for finance bros, which probably stems from my gold digger persona - but hey, at least I'm honest with myself. Twitter user @Puff_Iya started a thread asking people about people with employment that makes them "undate-able," and the results were amazing, with some being more unexpected than others. Check 'em out to see if you agree with the "hot" or "not" jobs listed below. 

We always hear stories of men being creepy. Creepy men at bars, creepy men at the park, creepy men in your dentist's office. It makes total sense because creepy men are indeed everywhere. However, we women, it's time we must admit that sometimes we are the creepy ones. Of course, the line between cute and creepy is very thin. If someone finds you attractive, and you show up randomly in their room, they might be thrilled. But it's always better to ask first, because once your reputation is a 'creeper,' it's hard to recover from that.

On Reddit men are sharing the creepy things women have done to them. It appears that our creepy tactics may be different from men, but they achieve the same result: making someone hella uncomfortable.

Finding love isn't easy, and being in a relationship also has its struggles. But if you're single as a pringle, and looking to mingle, then these memes are for you. They are relatably depressing but also hilariously harsh. Which, incidentally, is how I'd describe my love life. The struggles of being single and the trials and tribulations of being in love are all found here, in this latest collection of dating memes.

Dating app bios are challenging to fill out. You might know how to portray yourself in person, but how TF are you supposed to express who you are in a short dating bio? A Reddit user on a subreddit on the Bumble thread started a thread about how his fiance piqued his interest on the app, and fellow Redditors loved it! Bumble is a unique dating app that requires women to message men first, so you already know this woman is confident AF. for those of you wondering where to start with your bio, you really don't have to overthink it. One or two clever sentences presenting your awesome sense of humor is enough. Scroll down to see how this modern love story blossomed due to this Bumble woman not taking herself too seriously in her bio! 

Dating is already a whirlwind of funny stories and emotions, but dating apps? A total game-changer. It doesn't matter what app you're on. Every app has its fair share of weirdos, douchebags, and catfishes. In a world where everyone can be who they wanna be online, what you see isn't always what you get. The people on dating apps also happen to be on Twitter, where they document their experiences and reactions to the apps on a weekly basis. Scroll down 

Whenever you date someone, there are always only two possible outcomes: Either you get hitched, or you break up. It's inevitable. That's not to say it has to end badly, but it is definitely more likely that someone is going to get hurt. All of these things are a part of life. We all get dumped, or lied to, or cheated on, and we need time to cope. Some people take up meditation, some try out therapy, others post on Twitter. Can't tell you whether it's the healthiest coping strategy but it is clearly the most entertaining.

If you have an ex that you're not the biggest fan of you might relate to these hilarious tweets from people who don't give AF.

There are a lot of things that can ruin the mood in bed. It can be hard to 'resume' after the most un-sexy song pops up on shuffle, or somebody receives a phone call from an ex, or when a not-so-subtle fart sound occurs. But, we already knew that sex is definitely not what it's like in the movies, so we expect weirdness to ensue from time to time.

However, if you find yourself with a partner who has an 'unmoanable' name, you may have to make a decision. Do I say it, even if it ruins the mood? Have they ever even used this name for a love interest in a movie?

If you have some deal-breaker names that you cannot say in bed without laughing, this Reddit thread will probably make you chuckle.

Finding "the one" is a beautiful thing, especially when you're genuinely in love. Tying the knot, starting a new life together, and beginning your journey into married bliss is something that every couple dreams of. But then, reality sets in, and real-life begins. Suddenly, you have someone keeping you awake every night with their snoring, and there is dirty laundry strewn all over the floor. Now, you always have to take someone into account when making decisions, even when you don't like them very much. Welcome to marriage bliss; it's a beautiful place.

Yes, people, it has been a full year since all of this craziness started. It has been one of the most difficult years for hundreds of reasons, but one of the many struggles definitely included making new connections. Dating is already a risk, but suddenly it wasn't just a risk for you, but a risk for your whole family, your whole group of friends, and really the whole world (eventually). Obviously, things aren't 100% back to normal, but they are definitely better than it once was.  Though let me be clear, even though restaurants are opening, don't expect me to get cuffed, I'm still awkward AF.

If your love life took a major L this past year, but you're ready to jump back into the game, you may appreciate the nostalgia that many of these Tweets will bring you.
