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)
1. Friend-zone? Nope!

The relationship zone is the flip-side to the friend zone, and man, I think you gotta be bold to pull off a move like this. Why don't you try it with your crush?
2. Ice Water, Please!
/filters:quality(70)/content/n4/v2/tneetbgk570a9e8b0b4d8212776729_600x366.jpg)
The true progression of a relationship. When you're really comfortable with somebody, you jump right to pizza with everything on the first date.
3. #relationshipgoals
/filters:quality(70)/content/vr/mb/vs3kytxy570a9e8b1ea08544841176_600x318.jpg)
But seriously, Pakalu is the funniest.
4. Netflix & Dating?
/filters:quality(70)/content/fh/zi/bzbgpjo9570a9e8b4cf02291803856_600x90.jpg)
This is actually genius, right? Netflix should get on this and make it happen. Maybe then they could stop raising our streaming rates.
5. Want a Dog?
/filters:quality(70)/content/ps/qo/m2gqybe0570a9e8bdcc9a536988459_600x399.jpg)
This is my idea of a perfect date, actually.
6. Yep, Me All over
/filters:quality(70)/content/r0/h8/p7uiuh4v570a9e8b66fca234533589_600x162.jpg)
Always be explicit. Leave no room for misunderstanding.
7. Always Say You're Not a Creep
/filters:quality(70)/content/yl/f0/oslya3d4570a9e8c0d98e008511008_600x265.jpg)
Except not really because if you have to say you're not a creep, I have some bad news. You're probably a creep.
8. All the Butterflies
/filters:quality(70)/content/mr/ys/b6dwiw8v570a9e8be1fcc819553250_600x156.jpg)
DIGEST THEM. SWALLOW THE BUTTERFLIES. POWER PAST THE FLUTTERING.
9. No Talking, Just Creepy Staring
/filters:quality(70)/content/qm/q8/k5fa2ypg570a9e8bd04d7295607655_561x267.jpg)
*Braver. But other than that … yep. I remember that.
10. The Lesbian Dating Struggle
/filters:quality(70)/content/iu/rm/yrddme9r570a9e8c160a7444062297_563x204.jpg)
This legitimately happens. That's usually a sign for us to pick up our game and back away slowly.
11. Best Dating Profile Ever
/filters:quality(70)/content/xc/tl/nl6sncrr570a9e8cebebe348396677_600x285.jpg)
I don't know about you, but I totally want to date Jess. Jess is my kind of girl
12. Happens All the Time
/filters:quality(70)/content/kr/fi/xc73182g570a9e8d142e2477599265_600x389.jpg)
What a difference a semicolon makes...
13. Oops
/filters:quality(70)/content/tt/b5/tgc2xx86570a9e8d02e6f664007099_400x188.jpg)
The problem is that it's way too easy to accidentally let out a little poot when you're laughing.
14. Attempting to Flirt
/filters:quality(70)/content/xn/sb/sibec9w4570a9e8dd16df379185703_600x314.jpg)
Personally, I prefer Eddie Izzard's flirting technique. Just hit your wannabe boo with a loaf of bread.
15. Yep
/filters:quality(70)/content/iz/c0/i9i5wbot570a9e8d6e636772283491_492x207.jpg)
Yep.
16. The Confusion of Flirting
/filters:quality(70)/content/vc/gy/coctrxky570a9e8dd86b2774901242_561x159.jpg)
Been there, felt that. Pro tip: if you have to wonder, it usually means you're screaming, not flirting.
17. Sometimes It Happens That Way
/filters:quality(70)/content/l9/ji/jh7gknnp570a9e8e25c59944488873_600x424.jpg)
I think Sarah is secretly me.
