With all the rush of everyday life, it can be difficult for a couple to find the time to talk on the phone or even text. But there’s one easy way to stay in contact during even the busiest of times: trading love memes.
If you’re just beginning to date, it can help to understand each other’s sense of humor, and if you’ve already been together for a while, it can be an excellent relationship extracurricular to maintain intimacy.
The Instagram account 4relate is a perfect source for this. It regularly shares funny and relatable memes about all sorts of romantic situations!

It's saying that in a self ashamed way. The meme isn't ignoring consent, it's reassuring that she's pretty either way and should choose what to do based on her feelings instead of what she thinks her partner feels.
Load More Replies...But the internet has entered our romantic lives for more than meme sharing. According to a 2019 survey of 4,860 Americans, social media plays a much bigger role.
Roughly eight-in-ten social media users (81%) report that they at least sometimes see others posting about their relationships, including 46% who say this happens often, but few say that these posts affect how they feel about their own love.
I was in love once... I took some antacid, belched and it went away.
Load More Replies...Social media has become a place where some users discuss relationships and investigate old ones. Roughly half of its users (53%) say they have used these platforms to check up on someone they used to date or be in a relationship with, while 28% say they have used social media to share or discuss things about their relationship or dating life.
For adult users under the age of 30, those shares who have used social media to check up on a former partner (70%) or posted about their own love life (48%) are even bigger.
That's not even enough, sometimes I just wanna go full parasite mode and burrow beneath their skin
When you have small children, this is often how you wake up in the morning.
yeah i've never quite understood physical touch. I let my gf kiss me and cuddle but anyone else is a huge no
no but all my friends are anti touch so i gotta respect their boundaries while also needing.a hug
If you feel this way, you'll love the article link below talking about the role of touch in raising children; it certainly adaptable to adult relationships. Too many people, myself included, were raised in families devoid of touch, physical displays of affection and even dancing. As a child, it left me hating being touched. The good news is that I overcame that aversion in a big way. https://www.npr.org/sections/goatsandsoda/2023/11/12/1206275300/calm-down-grumpy-upset-kids-with-parental-massage
You know some very manipulative people can be super fine around some friends and then act like psychos around other people?
Load More Replies...It can even be a source of annoyance and conflict for some couples. Among those whose partner uses social media, 23% say they have felt jealous or unsure of their relationship because of the way their current partner interacts with others on these sites, and this share rises to 34% among those ages 18 to 29.
I get flustered very easily, I don't know how to respond to stuff like this
My bf just sent me a good morning text like this and my heart melted :)
when people play with my hair it kinda makes me fiddle with my hands a lot and sometimes my friend laughs when i do it and their laugh is so pretty so sometimes i fiddle more on purpose
Not my Wife, she hates anyone touching her hair (except for herself, as can clearly be seen by the number of hairy "Mummy spiders" she leaves around the house :)
gah soooo tingly! :) works better if i straighten my hair though... otherwise we need a search party to rescue my hubby from the jungle on top of my head!
Still, some people view these platforms as an important venue for showing love and affection. This is especially true for younger couples: 48% of 18- to 29-year-old social media users say it is very or somewhat important for them to show how much they care about their significant other.
If you're looking for more memes to send to yours, however, fire up our publication on a similar Instagram account, 'Soft and Wholesome Love.'
... and then I keep arguing with him for no reason...😅
The BEST relationship dynamic is big calm man and tiny aggressive woman. Interpersonal or romantic.
idk who downvoted you. whatever floats ur boat man don't kink shame.

Nothing unsolved by plenty of love and attention and reassurance. That I can tell you. Not always the time, mind.
Not necessarily. Maybe he's actively listening and is just looking for a good time to reply
Is it the one where his pants got ruined in the wash?
Load More Replies...nah I wear an XXL, she wear a M. this would be me putting on her shirt.
I guess it worked when they were a toddler and they never grew out of it.
Load More Replies...That would make me upset ngl, if you want attention just ask don't give me attitude
my friend does this and it's so annoying so i completely agree with you
Load More Replies...for anyone who is confused, he isn't touching the other lady so his girlfriend wont get mad
men: normalize not touching women not because we're afraid of what anyone else might think about it, but because we respect women. of course, if you're in a relationship, keep your hands off of other women. but also being single doesn't give you license touch women. consent is a thing, even in the picture here. a quick "is it okay to put my arm around you?" is always appropriate.
Load More Replies...Dude's playing ot pretty much exactly right. It's just how it is. But according to feminists, guys get a huge patriarchy to play with in return, so no biggie.
Load More Replies...he isn't touching the girl so he's girlfriend won't get mad :D
Load More Replies...I hope you never befriend someone with anxiety issues
Load More Replies...nah, that's toxic and doesn't allow people to live life. if I have to be in a certain mood every time I see you, then you're the problem. people in actual relationships living life together are going to have moments where they are just around and not "noticing" each other at every turn. doesn't mean something is wrong.
Um, ok. Still. I’ve been married 20 years and every time my hubs looks at me like that, it’s the best day of my life.
Load More Replies...I've had those dreams a few times while single. Then I wake up and think, "Wait. Who am I mad at?"
Load More Replies...Is it just me that doesn't like clingy guys or soft, hopeless romantic types? Idk why, they just ick me out. Please don't downvote me to hell, I'm not trying to be rude.
i hate clingy people. i broke up with my most recent gf over this she would constantly say I want my wizzy and i'm like stop talking like a baby and girl i am in math class.
Load More Replies...Depends on the people. Sometimes that works for people, and sometimes it doesn’t. Just let people be people. Unless they are horrible or murderous robots. Then F them.
You mean your man has to fuse himself onto your body ?
Load More Replies...I honestly don't find the majority of these funny or relatable. The level of low-self esteem and/or toxic behavior in them are a little sad. Okay---really sad.
Some of these are cute and relatable, but I agree with you Tammy, a lot of these aren't great.
I respect women and their feelings so much that I'm single for 12 years now. Hoverhand 4 life!
