15 Cartoons That Capture The Wild Reality Of Modern Dating

Dating has changed significantly over the years. Twenty years ago, there were no dating apps. Perhaps there were a couple of dating websites here and there, but they weren't accessible as the apps that are on our phones now. These days, we swipe through potential romantic interests like we're on a shopping spree. In addition to dating apps, there are a lot of concepts in modern dating that didn't exist in previous decades. Let's take the concept of ghosting. Sure, people would simply stop calling each other if they weren't interested, but there was no concept to explain it. Now, we have many different buzzwords to explain modern dating. Now, we have words like love-bombing, the ick, negging, and gaslighting to experience the current dating climate. Evidently, there's a whole lot to unpack in the modern dating world. Instagram artist butlikemaybe perfectly captures today's weird dating experiences that have become the norm. Here's a batch of accurate cartoons that we thoroughly enjoyed from her account. If you're just as much of a fan as us, be sure to follow her Instagram account.
