relationships

There is a certain unspoken etiquette when it comes to dating, of which most people are aware. From showing up on time to the date and not speaking only about yourself, these are often the things that determine whether or not there will be a second date. But some people have no idea how to conduct themselves on dates, leaving the person on the receiving end totally baffled! When will these guys learn?!

Together with The Single Society, we bring you the latest real horror story of the online dating scene in New York City, and this time it's about a guy who thought a work event was the perfect place for a first date. After eating in front of the poor starving girl, he tried (and failed to get them free food. He sounds like a real keeper, eh?

Although there is still some stigma around seeing a marriage counselor with your partner, if things aren't going so well in the relationship, thankfully, this idea is slowly changing. Marriage counseling is becoming normalized, with more and more couples seeking the help of a therapist to assist them in navigating troubles in their marriages. Because let's be honest, marriage isn't always easy and sometimes, we need all the help we can get. But some couples see marriage counselors for the strangest reasons, and now, we have the lowdown from therapists themselves. A Reddit thread asked marriage counselors for the stupidest reason a couple has made an appointment, and the answers prove how some relationships were doomed to fail from the start.

It's the weekend baby! And that can only mean one (of many) things: we're back with a new batch of funny relationship tweets!

Scroll through, enjoy, and then check out last week's haul in case you missed them. 

You might think that it's simply down to luck (or lack thereof), that your poor romantic choices keep you trapped in the never-ending dating loop of doom. But what if there was a little more to it than sheer boredom, horniness, and some bad experiences? What if your bad dating habits were cosmically driven, and your destiny was actually written in the stars? Courtesy of The Single Society, check out what your zodiac sign exposes about your questionable dating habits, and see how much you relate to these harsh, but honest revelations. And remember, you can always change your destiny... 

Breakups can bring out the petty side in us - when a relationship ends badly, it's reasonable and expected to want to get a one-up over our exes. Sensible? No. But a natural human instinct? Yes. And anyone who says otherwise has never had their heart ripped out of their chest. Am I right?

A Reddit thread has asked people what the pettiest things they've done after a breakup are, and the answers are hilarious. From faking positive pregnancy tests to signing their exes up to porn websites, it's all here to sink your teeth into.

Being cheated on is the worst thing in the world and there is no justification for cheating on your partner. It goes without saying that no matter how bad the relationship is, disloyalty says more about the cheater than the person they cheated on. It creates trust issues for future relationships, erodes a person's self-esteem, and it can take a very long time to get over. Some Redditors have worn their hearts on their sleeves and shared their stories of how they caught their significant other cheating on them, and how they reacted. Some of these were painful to read, but they truly give insight into how cruel some people can be.

Rule number one when you're on a date is to always keep cool and give a good impression. Even if you're raging inside, never ever EVER show it on the outside. It's not a good look. Rule number two? Don't be a cheapskate. Again, not a good look. 

In our latest tale of dating debacles from real women in NYC, brought to us by The Single Society, it seems like this guy missed both those memos. Big time! The dating world is a tough one, but hey, at least bad dates make good stories, right? 

The universe has a funny way of bringing people together, and people meet their partners in all sorts of ways. Whether it's online, through friends, at college, or chance meetings, every couple has their unique story. Redditors have been sharing their "anyways, we're married now" stories, and they're giving us all of the feels! They genuinely show that you never know when your life partner is just around the corner, so all you single people, don't give up hope just yet!

If you can't laugh your way through your relationship, then it's probably doomed from the start. Life is tough, and having someone who you share humor with, is everything. These people are showing us through the power of Twitter, the highs, the lows, and everything in between about relationships, all through humor. Here are this week's funniest relationship tweets, and when you're done, take a look at last week's in case you missed them. 

Getting engaged is one of the most exciting moments in a person's life; a moment of love, commitment, and pure happiness. The engagement ring is the symbol of all these emotions, and so it has to be special. Some girls know exactly what type of ring they want and drop numerous hints, so their BF's can come prepared. Others have no idea, and so they get proposed to with a temporary ring and then choose one together, afterward. And sometimes, the guy has a family heirloom with which to propose. But what happens when the guy proposes with a ring that he already used to propose to his ex-girlfriend? Is it OK to recycle engagement rings, or is that totally weird? One Reddit user found herself in that exact position and wants to know if she's an a**hole for not wanting to accept the ring. The responses were mostly in her favor, but some people jumped in to defend her seemingly clueless fiance. Check out the debate below...

You might think it's easy to get some these days, especially with everyone desperate for human contact after lockdown. But it turns out that cat owners often encounter technical setbacks that the average person doesn't, which could stop them from getting lucky in the sex department. Together with The Single Society, we bring you real women's stories of times their cats did everything they could to stop their owners from having sex, which, if you know a thing or two about kitties, isn't all that surprising! It turns out cats are the ultimate c*ck blocks!

Together with The Single Society, we're back with yet another hilariously awkward dating fail. This time, meet Aaron, the self-obsessed man-child, who could ONLY speak about race cars. And if you've ever been on a date with a guy who wouldn't STFU about himself (so, probably all of you!) then you'll relate to this latest tale of dating debauchery the most.

All's fair in love and war... on Twitter! Twitter is the place for people to vent, brag, and everything in between, all about their love lives for the world to see. We love a funny relationship tweet, and because we love sharing too, here's a bunch of them for you. Oh, and here's last week's funniest relationship tweets in case you missed them. 

Being single can be difficult, especially when all your friends are in relationships. But when you are the perpetually single one in the group, you inevitably end up as the third wheel, which can make you feel.. well... sh*t. If that's you can relate, then these memes are for you. Not that we're reminding you of your single status, of course... 

Let's face it, we've all told one or two white lies on a date to make ourselves seem a little more impressive than we really are. But there's a big difference between a white lie and a straight-up gigantic untruth. That, if I'm not mistaken, is called compulsive lying. Not cool guys, not cool. 

Together with The Single Society, we bring you this latest online dating horror story about a compulsive liar from Connecticut who was nothing like he appeared on Tinder...
