Love life in shreds? Is dating a living nightmare? Perhaps that’s a little OTT, but also: truth. Modern dating is no fairytale; to find a match, a swipe you genuinely click with (no pun intended), takes work. It’s a numbers game and a case of right person, right time.
But, as social media frequently reminds us, you have to deal with some serious blows before you find even a possible contender for The One.
So, exactly how crushing are these blows? Well, a viral Twitter is here to both frighten and horrify you in equal measure as users recount their most soul-crushing rejections, all taken in the name of love.
Some are truly gutting:
Some are so ludicrous it’s hard to believe they actually happened:
Dousing the flame of desire with direct comparisons to family members? Yep, it happens:
Sometimes, it’s not all about romantic relationships either:
Classic evasion techniques also sting:
Unrequited love is never fun tbh:
But sometimes, you know closure helps:
There’s a thread of hundreds of replies if you need a horrifying pick-me-up or should you want to weep in solidarity.
