Online dating is a lot of fun, from the sidelines. Just two people trying to get to know each other from nothing but a profile picture and a short bio. It’s an awkward conversation factory that keeps on giving. 

The Overheard Dating Instagram account gathers all the funny, awkward, and strange conversations people have encountered when texting a possible partner. We also reached out to James Preece, a dating coach & relationship expert to ask some questions about finding love in the 21st century. So keep scrolling, upvote your favorites, and check out Bored Panda’s other article on online dating conversations here.

    In 2019 holidaying in Iceland, I met a nice USA couple. I told them that not all of us (the world) blame all of them for Trump. Him: Big grin. Her: "Oh thank Dog!" My wife: "You can't say that! They might have voted for him!" Me: "Nah, they're outside the US." Her: "That's about right." All laugh.

    Do they not have decaffeinated coffee where they live? Yes I know there's still a bit of caffeine but it should help with those palpitations. I have to drink non caffeinated everything now.
