32 Online Dating Memes for When Online Matches Don't Match Up with Reality

We've all been there. You shave your legs, pluck your eyebrows, and put on the cutest dress in your closet, only to come to that first date and realize he's about 5 inches shorter than you imagined. 

If you know anything about online dating, you know it's a rollercoaster of emotions. On the one hand, the swiping is exhilarating, but on the other, the expectations don't always align with reality. And it's not just physical appearances that can differ from our expectations! He will be funny and confident in those DMs but won't even make eye contact with you in real life… make it make sense. 

But at the end of the day, these mismatches are part of the dating journey. They teach us about the complexities of human connection and remind us that chemistry can't always be predicted or manufactured online. With that being said, embrace the unpredictability, learn from each encounter, and keep on swiping!
