When 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.

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!
