People Trying (And Failing) To Find Love In Quarantine
With the entire world basically shut down, a lot of us are stuck with an excess of free time. Naturally, some people are trying to date around to ease the boredom, but they're also possibly talking to the love of their life—because how cute would it be to tell the grandkids that you met during a global crisis?
Well, trying does not always lead to succeeding, as these people have already figured out.
My Man Is Really Out Here Losing
It's one thing for a romantic interest to blow you off because they've had something unexpected come up in their own lives, but we truly are out here on lockdown doing nothing, and this girl still tried to pull that excuse.
Oh No, He Has Made A Mistake
It's a hard time to be in a new relationship, especially if you try to isolate together. You never know what secrets—like lying about his age—are going to come out when you cannot leave his apartment!
Y'all Really Risking It All
Listen, I understand that you're bored with all this extra time on your hands and you miss doing the naked tango, but no hookup is worth the risk of catching a deadly virus!
Time For Me To Be Irresponsible
Whenever I get bored in my normal life, I decide to start flirting with a bunch of dudes. However, now there are no negative repercussions because none of them can send a "so when are we going to hang out" text.
Glad I Made The Bronze Medal Spot
Can you imagine investing time in texting a man consistently throughout a period of quarantine, have him say he's falling in love with you, and still only being considered his third choice?
Distance Makes The Heart Grow Crazier
Now that we're all stuck at home, we all have way too much time we can spend on social media obsessing over what our significant others are doing on the snap map like psychos.
Funny, Mine Is Matt Chris
Am I flirting with people I matched with on Tinder because I re-downloaded the app when I was bored and tipsy after FaceTiming my girls? Maybe. Will I meet any of these men in person? Unlikely.
Desperate Times Call For Desperate Measures
During a crisis, it makes sense to want to be close to family and maybe even bring your romantic partner with you so you can still spend time together, but you're nasty if you're getting it on in your twin-sized bed with Barbie sheets.
She Raised Some Valid Points
All he has done today is eat Hot Pockets and play the new Call of Duty. He has all the time in the world to text and he still hasn't. Delete his number, sis.
Your Romantic Past Will Come Back To Haunt You
You thought you could avoid all the drama by simply not starting conversations? Guess again. Your ex will find a way to ruin your romantic life years after the fact if they get bored enough.
This Will Be Me After Quarantine
Am I going to spend the next several weeks in quarantine texting a guy and catch feelings in the process only for us to fizzle out before quarantine ends? That's one secret I'll never tell!
Even When We Try Our Best, The Universe Hurts Us
In these trying times, you really need to try new ways to keep budding relationships alive, and technology is a great way to do it. I mean, most of the time.
I've Already Caught One
Quarantine is really just going to be a long game for me during which I see how many dudes from dating apps I can con into falling in love with me.
We're Getting Close To Rock Bottom
I have been alone and untouched for so long that I would literally make out with the guy who bullied me in high school right now if the opportunity presented itself.
Death By Poor Digital Communication Skills
Even if your relationship was going strong before quarantine, things are bound to hit a breaking point while isolating. There are only so many poor responses to flirty pics that a woman can handle.
Basically, This Is Me
I actually have four dating apps that I'm using that the moment and exactly zero genuine romantic prospects in my life. I'm probably just going to rewatch The Notebook on Netflix until lockdown ends.
...My Standards Are Going To Be So Low
I've heard a lot of people joke about a lot of pregnancies starting in quarantine, but no one has mentioned the number of hookups that will happen the second we're free to be social again.
I Feel This In My Soul
The thing about the "last time" is that you never know it's going to be the last time. Now I'm stuck with my last hookup memory being about a guy who can barely read.
...We Do Have To Reward The Strong Ones
A lot of the time, society likes to make out that the guys who "play" women and can't commit are the cool ones, so it's nice to see the good guys getting a win.
Remember, It Could Be Much Worse
Yes, I will complain about being bored on my own throughout social distancing, but I also cannot imagine anything worse than being stuck with a romantic partner who has weird habits.
