40 Funny Tinder Chats That Might Not Have Ended In Love, But Definitely In Laughs (New Pics)
Interview With ExpertWhen online dating was introduced to us, it brought the hopeful promise of making love easier to find. But as so many apps and years of swiping have shown, it’s far from perfect.
Having access to an endless menu of potential matches doesn’t mean they’ll choose you back. And even if they do, there’s always the risk of ruining it with a bold (read: cringe) message.
Still, those embarrassing exchanges often make for great entertainment. So, we’ve rounded up some of the funniest and most awkward Tinder conversations people have shared with the internet. Scroll down to enjoy them, and don’t forget to upvote your favorites!

I love little moments like this when the world feels small :)
The modern love scene leaves much to be desired. Nearly half of those actively dating believe it’s harder now than it was a decade ago. Men say they’re lonelier than ever. Women, on the other hand, are happier staying single.
There’s no single answer to why this is happening. But for many who haven’t given up on the dream of finding “the one,” the struggle often points to dating apps.
A 2022 study revealed that four in five U.S. adults feel emotionally drained from using them. Plenty seem to be walking away, too—a recent survey from Ofcom found that user numbers on platforms like Tinder, Hinge, and Bumble have dropped for the first time.

Frankly it’s nice his precious manhood wasn’t fractured into a thousand pieces by her response. …. Something to think about
Load More Replies...Don’t get me wrong—I’m not an avid hater of dating apps. I know that Tinder, along with the countless platforms it inspired, has brought together people who might never have crossed paths otherwise. In fact, a 2023 study shows that one in 10 people in committed relationships met their partner online. Even among my friends, many found their soulmates thanks to the internet, with some even having tied the knot.
That said, I also have plenty of screenshots buried in the depths of group chats—disastrous conversations they endured on dating apps before finally stumbling upon their happily-ever-after.
Hehehe
Keep Trying
🦤 Aw man Frank get back here. Sorry, he waddles off sometimes. (TIL that androids have a dodo emoji and I could not be more thrilled lol)

Love, dating, and relationship coach Vicki Pavitt agrees. “Dating apps can open up more opportunities to meet people, but dating fatigue and burnout are common,” she told Bored Panda. “The sheer volume of options can lead to ‘decision fatigue’ and the paradox of choice, making commitment harder. This has also given rise to trends like ghosting, orbiting, and breadcrumbing.”

In some parts of China dog is considered a delicacy... But then again in Africa people eat ants, bee larvae, etc.
Load More Replies...I used to have a shirt that I had to stop wearing. The front said "PETA" and in very small print "People for the Eating of Tasty Animals" and the back said "I like cats. I just can't eat a whole one by myself." Too many PETA nuts (the actual crazy kind) would stop me for a conversation thanking me. Ditto the opposites who wanted to proselytize against PETA. For the latter I'd just turn around, they'd laugh & walk away.
Dating and relationship coach Emma Lorraine Pask adds that this overwhelming element of choice, combined with the technical interface of dating apps, often makes the experience feel impersonal. “This creates a sense that people are disposable, which at its worst encourages bad manners and poor behavior online,” she shared with Bored Panda.

When we first started going out, my boyfriend would actually put stuff on top of the fridge often. He's tall, so for him it's apparently just another surface to put stuff on, but I'm petite so for me it's completely out of sight and I can't even see that there's anything up there. I'm very glad that he taught himself to stop doing that, cause I spent so much time looking for things.

I mean dates looking physically attractive is a plus, but I never really understood those who were exclusively dating only certain physical traits. I’m a very personality-oriented person lol
It’s just a matter of preferences. If I meet someone whose personality I like but they aren’t what I find attractive physically, a romantic relationship probably isn’t in the cards. Personality definitely helps, and physical attractiveness is hardly the only deciding factor though.
Load More Replies...Please don’t hate me, but on my phone with my eyes the person in that profile picture looks either like someone with a snout or a girl with a mustach. Combine that with the “girl” statement and it makes it hilarious.

If Tinder Would Have An Option To Review After Date With Star Ratings
Please someone explain why Americans say "would have" when they mean "had"? "If Tinder would have an option..." is just wrong.
I recognize that construct from several foreign languages. On Bored Panda it can always be a non-native English speaker translating from their own language. OP posted in the post on Reddit, "I’m Cambodian, but I usually think in English."

Are you too young to know the website “Hot or Not?”? We did it to ourselves… I met some pretty decent guys from it in the early-mid 2000s though, apparently before the online dating scene went to complete shít.

For gauging if you have the same sense of humor. Humor is very subjective. (and nope, I don't find opening lines on dating apps about wanting sex with the person you match with funny.)
