Dating is hard, there’s no question about it. And while social media and dating apps were supposed to make it easier, in many cases they just put even more pressure on finding love.
So no wonder that people on Twitter had a lot to say when it comes to dating cliches and overused pickup lines. Think of countless The Office references in Tinder bios and cringe-worthy jokes like the one about loving pineapple on a pizza.

In a previous interview with Bored Panda, James Preece, a celebrity dating coach & relationship expert, explained that the coronavirus pandemic has really changed the way people are dating. In most parts, for the better.
“They’ve been forced to slow things down, which is actually a great thing. They’ve had a great chance to reflect on what they do and don’t want,” he said.
Preece firmly believes that people are now much more serious about finding a long-term partner and they aren’t willing to settle anymore. “So they are less likely to be messing around on dating apps and more likely to look to meeting people in the real world.”

But nevertheless, dating is still a difficult thing to tackle. In some cases, a romantic interest can even not get the hints.
“If you’ve tried being subtle and it didn’t get noticed, then it’s time to change tack. It’s worth noting that they might already be aware of your interest, but they aren’t sure how to react. If they aren’t keen, then they will pretend they’ve not noticed to avoid embarrassment,” Preece explained.

Preece argues that in most cases, it’s best not to go for an over-the-top romantic gesture, but ask the person you’re into if they’d like to go out on a date one evening. “It doesn’t need to be more complicated than that and they might be curious for just one meeting.”

Dating apps are still some of the most popular ways to meet people. In fact, 42% of adults think dating apps make it easier to find a long-term partner, according to this survey from Pew Research Center, while only 22% said apps make it harder.
A whopping 43% of men said they are using the apps to casually date while 42% said they are looking for a long-term partner. Alternatively, 48% of women said they are using dating apps to find long-term partners and only 37% are using apps to date casually.
However, although the majority of people agree that dating is easier through apps, a whopping 88% of adults are disappointed by what they’ve seen on the dating apps. More than half, 55%, of adults feel insecure from the lack of messages they receive. However, men tended to feel this way more than women.
