In this day and age it is very rare to come across at least one person who hasn’t given online dating a go by now.

Tinder very nearly revolutionised the relationship game. There may well have been some love stories with origins beginning with a right swipe and a risky direct message, but for every romance there’s probably about ten absolute fails when it comes to online dating.

Sometimes the struggle just gets a little bit too much, but its ok, you’re not alone in this bizarre virtual love fest. We considered ten of the times when the online dating struggle.

Then you have to navigate the weird profiles.

When someone tries to slide into your direct messages like a boss and you’re just not feeling it.

Trying to ignore or block these kind of events can take more time and energy than you thought.

You try to take a break, then ease yourself back in, which is harder than you think.

Nothing has really changed though.

Unless you find a seemingly normal person and can’t believe your luck.

So you resort to finding out EVERYTHING about them before you meet them in real life.
