Twitter is often full of some serious foolishness, but every once in a while, the Twitterverse is surprisingly on-point with its wisdom. One of the things Twitter always gets right? Dating. I'm so glad I never have to date again because the struggle is real, stalkers, the struggle is so very real. If you want a summary of what dating is really like, don't ask your friends or read a Cosmo article, oh no. just take a look at these tweet, which are hilarious but so, so honest, too. (A/N: Full disclosure, there are some Tumblr dating posts slipped in here, too. #sorrynotsorry)
