relationships

It takes guts to ask someone out. Chatting up strangers can be pretty daunting, and it requires an art of subtlety that not everyone has mastered. People share the weirdest places someone has hit on them, revealing some highly inappropriate answers. Honestly, people, read the room, don't be a creep, and maybe someone will eventually agree to go out with you. Maybe.

It's that time of the week again, where we bring you the funniest relationship tweets we found over the past seven days. It's all fun and games being in love until your partner drives you so crazy that you have to vent about them to the world on Twitter. Can't live with them, can't live without them, eh? Then, there's the single folk out there who are happily unattached and not getting frustrated by anyone. The grass is always greener. Anyway, enjoy these twitter gems and then check out last week's in case you missed them.

Have you ever been on a hilarious, horrific, or cringe-worthy date? We assume the answer is yes, because, well, who hasn't? How nice would it have been to tell the douchebag in the question exactly what you thought of him? Of course, some women choose to dish out a harsh truth after an awful date, but it's not worth the emotional energy for others. Because let's face it - a man taking constructive criticism post-date? Hard to imagine. We've teamed up with To The Guys I've (Kinda) Dated - An Instagram account created by women, for women, who submit letters containing all the things they've always wanted to say to the disappointing men they've dated. Scroll through this week's haul and then check out last week's in case you missed them.

They say that if you go searching for love, you won't find it. Instead, it's best to focus on living your best life, and the right one will present themselves in the most unexpected circumstances. But sometimes, love can manifest itself in a way you never thought possible even when you search for it. One couple who knows a thing or two about this are Twitter users @KatieKatCubs and @TBrown_80, who have just got engaged three years after meeting on Twitter. Terry replied to Katie's tweet about her despair in finding a man, telling her that the best place to find love was Twitter. He wasn't wrong! Read their crazy story below.

As with everything in life, relationships come with risks. Sure, you could fall desperately in love, get married, and live happily ever after. I mean, that's the dream, right? Alternatively, you could fall for someone, and just as you finally feel secure, they dump you in a soul-crushing, heart-wrenching act of cruelty, causing you to lose all faith and hope in love. It's a real gamble. And the truth is, being dumped suck. It can bruise your ego, make you feel rejected, and question whether or not what you had was real for the other person. But some dumpings are more brutal than others, and these Redditers are sharing the harshest reasons their exes ended their relationship. What's the worst reason someone broke up with you? Or that you dumped someone?

An essential aspect of any relationship is communication, without which neither yours nor your partner's needs can be met—at least not in a healthy way. Sometimes it's necessary to say how you feel or what you need explicitly, and other times there are things you do for each other that go without saying. When you know someone so well, you don't always need to express things verbally. Redditors are sharing the unsaid rules between them and their SO that they follow without any questions. The replies show just how important it is to have mutual respect, understanding, and excellent communication to maintain a healthy relationship. What are the unspoken rules you have in your relationship?

Ah, love. Can't live with it, can't live without it. I'm sure you can relate to the feeling of your significant other driving you up the wall, but also not knowing what you'd do without them. Well, one way to let out your feelings of utter frustration is simply by Tweeting about them; there's nothing like some sympathy from strangers on the world wide web to make you feel heard. Here are this week's funniest relationship tweets, and when you've finished with these, check out last week's in case you missed them.

The world of dating can be fun and entertaining, but sometimes, it also kind of sucks. We've all been excited over a guy who seemed (almost) perfect on paper, but who ended up being a massive letdown in reality. Whether it's the a**hole who tries convincing you to have a threesome with him and his wife or the guy with offensive table manners, the result is always the same—crushing disappointment. Wouldn't it be great if, instead of sending the standard, "lovely meeting you, but it's not going to work out" text, you could pen a brutally candid, scathing message, telling him exactly what you thought of him? Because honesty is the best type of closure, amirite?

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.
