If dating were easy, stand-up comedians would be out of material. Thankfully, romance provides endless opportunities for hilarious missteps that we can all relate to. These laugh-out-loud moments prove that sometimes the best connections are the ones that give us the funniest stories to tell later.
Take online dating, for instance. We’ve all swiped right on that intriguing blank profile, curiosity overpowering common sense. One brave soul did just that, expecting little from the faceless match. What he got instead was a walking, talking angel – petite, blue-eyed, with hair like spun gold and a figure that could stop traffic. The catch? She teaches Sunday school. When he casually offered a cigarette during their drive, her horrified “What would I tell my kids?” was both adorable and mildly shaming. The dinner that followed was a study in contrasts – him indulging in steak and expensive wine, her politely abstaining while enjoying lobster. Sometimes the universe sends us exactly the right person to make us question all our life choices – and give us great material for future parties.
