Welcome back beauty's and beasts of the internet. Capturing the realm of modern dating isn't easy to do. By 'modern' we're implying a technological aspect, and we all know how difficult it can be to find the right match on these endless apps. When looking for a partner you may have a set of standards or attributes you want them to have; maybe you want someone kind, illustrious, who makes good money. Maybe you want someone with a dark side but a heart of gold. People can hide a lot about themselves, and with dating apps like Tinder or Hinge, it makes it even easier. 

Ever heard of catfishing? Yeah, it's a really common problem with modern dating. Not to mention the confusion around what 'dating' even is. At this point it seems like everyone has their own definition of these once archaic terms; 'dating,' 'hooking up,' and 'casually seeing' all seem to have some sort of fluidity in our minds and nothing feels grounded when you're trying to date. Navigating the world of modern love is difficult, let's laugh at these memes to bring us back to reality.

    eamve FASA 1010 Bill, 33 91 miles away I like curvy girls. I have a dog. Her name is Precious. She's my world. My hobbies include midnight strolls, collecting insects (kinda nerdy, but it's what I'm into), making my own clothing, and dancing when nobody's looking. Dry skin is a deal breaker. I love Bath & Body Works for the sole reason that their lotion comes in a basket. I'd date me. tinder.
