Jimmy Fallon recently took to Twitter to ask social media users why they’re single. In typical Jimmy fashion, he shared the funniest, most peculiar, and incredibly honest responses on his show – from finding strange food in your hair to refusing to chase waterfalls because TLC said so (that’s what people said, we’re not making this up). Whether you’re in the dating pool looking for that special someone or already shacked up, we guarantee you’ll get a kick out of these reasons people shared of #WhyImSingle. If you’re looking for a good laugh, we’ve got you covered with this thread. And hey, you might even relate to some of these reasons.

Cereal First, then Milk
We all have red flags we look for to rule out potential partners. Do they have a job? Are they respectful? Please tell me they’re not married! Our friend, Redda, waves a red flag of her own and it’s pretty cringy. Only true weirdos do this and it might just be the reason why Redda is still looking for love.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
Her #WhyImSingle is that she pours milk… before her cereal *GASP*. Only ‘cereal killers’ do that, right? To be honest, I’ve never tried it myself. We’ve heard of people who done that, and we’ve seen them on TV, but we’ve never met one in real life. It just seems so obvious the cereal goes into the bowl first. Don’t worry, Redda, your milk-first partner is out there somewhere, enjoying their cereal.
Miss Independent
Now I’m sure some of our female readers can relate to Nancy’s #WhyImSingle. In this case, her level of independence was threatening to her potential lover’s ego. Good riddance! There is nothing more unattractive than a man who is threatened by your success. A true partner will meet you at your level and support you in your endeavors. Take a look at what Nancy’s date candidly told her.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
She’s an independent woman who doesn’t need no man. Let’s at least commend his honesty. Keep doin’ your thing, Nancy! You’ll find someone who isn’t threatened by your independence but impressed by it and willing to contribute to your health and wealth. Stronger men are out there.
Dog-gone Pajamas
For those of us who have furry friends, we get it, Nicole. We’re on your side. Who DOESN’T want matching pajamas with their dog?! Come on, be honest. The average person might not rummage through four Targets to find them, but hey, that’s dedication – and that’s always a good quality in a partner, right?
.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
You’ll find your Mister Right. He may just have to be as enthusiastic about dogs as you are. Until then, rock those matching jammies. The two of them look adorable, don’t you think? Maybe just hide them in a separate drawer until you get past the first few dates. Hide your crazy until you reel them in, right?
The Awkward Handshake
Imagine being told you’re pretty. How do you respond? A simple “thank you”? Do you compliment in return? Perhaps a solid handshake will do! At least that’s what Siv thought. It’s totally normal to freeze and fumble on a first date but Siv’s encounter is pretty embarrassing. Communication skills are key, but sometimes nerves simply get in the way.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
Let’s empathize here. We’ve all been there, haven’t we? We all know how nerve-wracking first dates can be. You choke, sweat, stutter… and sometimes you shake their hand when they call you pretty. Who knows? Is that really so bad? Maybe she gives an impressive handshake!
Junk Mail
According to Ryan, his reason #WhyImSingle is the curse of junk mail. You know the ones; they’re e-mails with subject lines like “Forward this to 10 people or you will have bad luck forever”. We’ve all deleted those, right? Is anyone forwarding those chain messages? Is Ryan onto something here, or is he coming up with excuses?
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
If that junk mail was legit, I would have kicked the bucket a long time ago. Sorry, Ryan, I don’t think you can blame junk mail for your lack of prospects. Maybe it’s time to look in the mirror and reevaluate your approach to dating. It starts by taking responsibility for your faults and working hard to be the best person you can be.
Hands Off
My food, that is. Aquarius isn’t ready to share food… with anyone. We’re not talking about the sign, but this Twitter user. Her #WhyImSingle is by choice. We understand the fear of sharing your food, and life, with another person. It’s scary and a huge commitment! Maybe one day she’ll find someone worth sharing with.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
I don’t think we can necessarily blame a person for not wanting to share food. However, if you’re lookin’ for love, you might want to consider making an exception. After all, “what’s mine is yours” is what relationships are all about! It’s possible she’ll find someone who dislikes sharing food as much as she does. When you find the one, though, you don’t mind sharing.
A Hot Potato
Riderette showed up to a brunch date, wide-eyed and hopeful, and fell in… a really embarrassing way. I mean REALLY embarrassing. Note to self: make sure the food isn’t too hot before shoving it in your mouth. Didn’t your mother ever tell you not to lean backward in your chair, or blow on hot food before you eat it?
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
Not the love story they were hoping for, I’m sure. We’ve all had our clumsy moments, but I think Riderette takes the cake. And topped it all off with a fart. Also, who washes hot potatoes down with hot coffee? This was literally a series of unfortunate events.
The Belch
Have you ever been so excited you accidentally let out a burp? Poor Betty has. She was finally asked out by the boy she liked and it didn’t go as expected. Gassiness can be a symptom of nerves, so she’s not completely to blame. However, covering your mouth or holding that burp in might have saved her chances at a date with her object of affection.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
She spends countless days longing for her crush to ask her out. Then comes her time to shine! He makes his move and she… burps in his face. I agree with Betty- that’s a pretty good reason #WhyImSingle. At least she didn’t sneeze, right?
Must Love Dogs
As a dog owner, one of the worst things that can happen on a date is finding out they aren’t a dog person. At the very least, your date could appreciate your own furry friend. It’s rude to leave in the middle of the date, but I don’t blame Jesse for leaving this one. We would’ve done the same.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
I don’t think we could fault Jesse for cutting the date short, especially since he showed his date a picture of her OWN loveable, furry friend. His date responded with a comment of disgust at a photo of his (probably adorable) dog – a dog who is a well-loved member of his family, I’m sure. Best to weed them out early, I guess.
Killer Date
When asked about yourself on a first date, it’s probably best not to respond with “I love serial killers”. Save some mystery for the second and third dates. A typical response will be to talk about your family, your job, hobbies or interests. The last thing you want to do is leave your date wondering where you’ll hide the body.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
I applaud Weslee’s honesty, though. It’s important to always be yourself. Maybe next time ease them into your murder fetish or save it for an actual conversation related to TV or entertainment interests. I doubt the most interesting thing about yourself is your crime doc obsession. Sometimes it helps to plan topics of discussion ahead of time, so you don’t word-vomit your guilty pleasures best left for date two or five.
Big Appetite
Who doesn’t love an all-you-can-eat buffet? We can’t deny the urge to stuff your face. Though I think Jeanne may have gone a little overboard. She must have fasted before this date because I don’t know that we’ve ever been THAT hungry. Perhaps a Korean all-you-can-eat grill buffet isn’t the best location for a first date.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
It’s possible her date was intimidated by the 20 plates of meat, or her endless gobbling. Don’t lose hope, Jeanne. Some men can’t appreciate a woman with a healthy appetite. Or maybe the gobbling can be toned down on the next date. In the meantime, try your hand at an eating competition because 20 plates of meat is impressive!
Chivalry Isn’t Dead
Giving a little curtsey is about as polite as it gets. It’s also a pretty awkward way to introduce yourself to an attractive woman in the 21st century. We all know nerves can get the best of you sometimes, but I don’t know that I’ve ever been so nervous I curtsied at someone.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
Emilie may have missed her shot this time. Given this is the reason #WhyImSingle, I doubt the attractive lady found her curtsy charming. The lady probably had no clue how to respond to her greeting. I think a simple “hello” will do just fine next time, milady.
Ingenuity
Not gonna lie, I think Jackson’s a genius for this one. We don’t know about you, but we wouldn’t break up with someone over this one. We all love snacks, especially popcorn while enjoying a good movie. Jackson has come up with the lazy man’s snack bowl, and we think it’s great.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
Gather round, snack lovers, because boy do I have the man for you! Jackson throws a hoodie on backward and BAM, he’s got himself a popcorn bowl. The best part? He doesn’t have to hold it, and his hands are free. He might get a few crumbs in there, but that’s what laundry is for, right?
Don’t Touch
…this Twitter user’s fries. It’s a dealbreaker for them. Sharing is not caring. This seems to be a recurring theme among single people. The fact that she is “extremely strict” about her no-sharing policy leads me to believe she is not afraid to slap a hand away from her plate unapologetically.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
To be fair, we all know those people who say, “I’m not hungry”, only to reach for your fries 5 minutes later. In the effort to find love, though, maybe loosen that policy just a tiny bit. After all, dating operates under the assumption that you’re ready to share everything with your partner, right?
You Shall Not Pass
The first date, that is. Lord of the Rings fans can probably relate to Lindsay. Holding out for Gandalf is certainly an effective way to stay single. I hate to tell you, Lindsay, but I don’t think he’s coming anytime soon. It’s a nice fantasy, though.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
Who doesn’t wish Gandalf would show up to take them on an adventure? He’s such a lovable character. The Lord of the Rings series will leave any fantasy lover dreaming of an action-packed adventure with loyal friends. However, Lindsay may have to leave those dreams in the Shire if she wants a second date.
Sister Sabotage
We all want the best for our siblings, including a good partner. However, Sara’s sisters may have taken it a little too far. It sounds like they don’t trust her judgment when it comes to dating. Maybe they’re right and they know better. Either way, it’s probably not their place to scare away her dates.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
Maybe the first guy she dated is the one she’s meant to be with, or maybe her sisters should give the new guys a chance. They might be pleasantly surprised. Are they taking out the trash, or ruining Sara’s chances of finding true love? I guess we’ll never know.
Take Off Your Clothes
Your dirty street clothes, that is. Darcy doesn’t want anyone near her nice, clean bed with their street clothes on. We can’t say that we blame her. I completely understand if their clothes are actually dirty. No one wants to sleep in dirt and grime from who-knows-where. But do you change your clothes when you come home before even touching your bed?
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
Cleanliness is not a bad quality to have, by any means. Though her dates might find it a little misleading when she asks them to bring a change of clothes. Is Darcy over-dramatic or is she simply preserving her clean sheets? We’re on the fence with this one.
Stony Bark
Tanya tried. She really did. Unfortunately, she also lives under a rock and has clearly never seen the Avengers movies. In her #WhyImSingle, it’s hard to tell if she was just trying to impress her date or if she was trying too hard to be someone else. Either way, it doesn’t sound like her date was impressed at her attempt.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
I do commend her thoughtfulness, though. Knowing her date liked the Avengers, she wrote the character names on her hand but the ink smudged. She should have written them on a piece of paper or, better yet, left that trick to high school math tests where it belongs.
The Other Civil War
History buff, Grace, misunderstood her date’s reference to Civil War. When someone in 2021 mentions “Civil War”, we immediately think Captain America. Not Grace! She must have been so excited to think she was on a date with another History nerd, only to find out she may be a little out of touch with modern dating conversations.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
Thank you, Grace, for keeping history alive. Maybe consider brushing up on newer topics, though, before your next date. Twenty minutes is a long time to talk about the wrong subject. Perhaps if she put her excitement aside and let him get a word in, she would have noticed they were not talking about the same thing.
A Man Named Tigger
At least that’s what Isabella thought his name might be. This guy comes in with a fun ice breaker, having Isabella guess his name. This was a great opportunity to get to know someone, starting with his name. What “T” names might you come up with if you were asked the same?
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
When you think of guy names that begin with the letter “T” you might think “Tyler”, “Thomas”, or “Ted”. Isabella came up with the first “T” name she could think of. It just happened to be the name of her dog, Tigger. He didn’t seem flattered to be called by her dog’s name. Although, we hardly think this is a deal-breaker.
Negative
O-negative. In case you were wondering what this Twitter user’s blood type is. When someone asks what your type is, you typically think of physical or character qualities you’d like to see in a potential partner. Erin had a different association in mind and an unexpected response.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
When asked about her type, Erin answered, embarrassingly, with her blood type. To be fair, the inquisitor didn’t specify that they were asking about her taste in men. To be honest, do you think they needed to? We’re not sure the first thing that would come to mind was blood type, but they could’ve been more specific.
Cannibal Cousin
This one is straight out of a horror story. This Twitter user should probably save her little cousin for last as she introduces her beau to the family. And it won’t be saving the best for last. Family introductions are awkward enough as it is, never mind walking in to find a cousin with cannibalistic tendencies.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
To be fair, if I saw an 11-year-old gnawing on ribs and threatening to eat mine, I might not come back. This is the stuff horror movies are made of. We find it hard to decide if it’s creepy, funny, or both. What do you think? Probably creepy, more than anything else.
Pretty Ugly
Telling your crush he’s pretty is one thing. To take it back and call him ugly is another! In a moment of panic, Sarah accidentally gave an embarrassing compliment and an even more embarrassing insult. Her nerves got the best of her in this #WhyImSingle story. She should’ve left it at “pretty”.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
Sarah clearly panicked and we can’t blame her. So how does one recover from nervous word vomit? You probably shouldn’t ask Sarah. Walk that one-off, girl, and try again next time. It’s actually not that bad, compared to some of the other stories on the list.
Mommy Issues
Asking someone to characterize their relationship with their mother might not be the best way to learn about someone’s family. A simple “tell me about your family” will do. This Twitter user, however, watched so many episodes of Criminal Minds she went on a date as a member of the BAU.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
Although a man’s relationship with his mother can indicate how he will treat other women in his life, Michelle uses it to weed out potential serial killers. I think someone watches a little too much TV. Even if she wasn’t using the question to weed out serial killers, it’s a bit too personal for a first date.
Accents
We all have strange hobbies we enjoy when we’re bored. Rae’s is probably one of the funniest. Have you ever muted the TV to make up your own funny dialogue for the characters? We have, as kids, and it’s definitely an entertaining way to kill some time. See how Rae uses it for practice.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
Potential suitors will never get bored with Rae, that’s for sure. Who knows, maybe she can make it big as a voice actor or narrator. She might have a real talent. At the very least, she can tell you how handsome you are in 5 different accents.
Baby Talk
Some people don’t have a lot of experience with babies, which makes them pretty awkward around them. Maybe they are an only child and come from a small family or just aren’t fans of small children. Those uncomfortable around babies might relate to Adriano’s #WhyImSingle.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
In any case, Adriano prefers to ask a baby how the weather is faring or what their thoughts are on the Presidential debate. I’m sure some lucky woman will find that charming, in a weird way. Just because a person is awkward around babies doesn’t mean they won’t be great parents.
Butterflies vs. Eagles
Expressing your feelings for someone can be extremely difficult. It might be cliché to say “You give me butterflies”. Don’t worry, C.L. has you covered with an alternative. You don’t want to sound cliché – it’s better to make up your own romantic sayings. Though, it doesn’t seem to be working in their favor.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
I give him props for trying to one-up butterflies. What’s bigger and better than butterflies? Eagles. His attempt was as clever as it was silly. We can’t blame him for speaking from the heart. We might even adopt this saying. Strangely, we like it! Too bad his date didn’t feel the same way.
Ramen
We’ve all had days where we’re pretty lazy, un-showered, and a little slovenly. But have you ever found old food in your hair? That’s taking sloppiness to another level. I wonder how long Marie went before noticing her unwanted hair accessory.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
Marie’s #WhyImSingle is an unpleasant surprise she found stuck in her mane – a stray noodle from who knows when. Hop in the shower, girl, and keep that one to yourself. The good news is that’s something that she can easily change. It’s a matter of habits.
Too Bass-ic
Is there a particular reason why bass players are some of the most mocked and undermined musicians? Quentin believes that his reason #WhyImSingle is that he plays bass. It’s my understanding that women gravitate towards musicians. Is his particular instrument an exception?
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
We seem to be out of the loop here. What’s wrong with bass players? Quentin sounds like a stand-up guy. Keep in mind, Quentin, ladies love musicians! Maybe it’s your skills as opposed to your instrument. In any case, woo her with your sweet tunes and I’m sure she’ll fall in love.
Ugh, Shaving
Laura has some commitment issues, but not the kind you’d expect. Women everywhere can probably appreciate Laura’s #WhyImSingle. You have to look your absolute best when dating, and it can be pretty time-consuming! Besides, you don’t always feel like putting in the effort – you want your date to like you as you are, a natural.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
Who wants to commit to shaving every day? Ladies, we can all agree that having to shave every day is a real pain. In Laura’s extremely relatable tweet, she says her reason #WhyImSingle is the thought of having to shave on a regular basis. We don’t blame you, Laura!
Wrong Date
To be fair, this guy should have been more clear about what he was asking for. A one-word question can be easily misinterpreted, as was the case with Shi’s #WhyImSingle. It can help to ask for clarification next time to save yourself the embarrassment.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
Was it wishful thinking on Shi’s part, or a simple misunderstanding? This could’ve happened to any one of us, right? Poor Shi. Do you think she was able to talk her way out of that one? Either way, a cringe-worthy #WhyImSingle.
Full of Regret
If you aren’t in a relationship on valentines day, then there isn’t much to be celebrated for the single folk. It just turns into this whole day of feeling like you have something to prove if you are alone, so it is really just better to have an enjoyable night in for 1.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
But even when you decide to have a date night with yourself, it can turn into something less than desired. Especially if you find yourself eating a meal you had prepared for 2. No matter how many times you convince yourself that it is a good idea, eating for 2 always leaves you feeling sick…
She Can Hear You…
When it comes to companionship, there are some people that manage to find that special someone early on and doesn’t have to even worry about spending time trying to seek out the perfect friend/partner/companion. But companionship can look different for everyone…
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
Isn’t it the worst when people assume things about you and your life? Like this guy had already found his companion and she happened to be sitting right next to him, on the ground, barking in disgust. Who cares if his companion is a dog… Dog’s really are man’s best friend.
Au Naturale
Have you ever felt as though some people naturally attract good things to them? No matter what it is, they just have this aura about them that acts as some sort of magnet for people and things. Well, not everyone can be this lucky.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
As much as we would all like to be the kind of person that attracts everything to them, not having to pay for any sort of contraception is a much more affordable model in life. Having natural abilities to deter people can really make a difference to your bank account at the end of the month.
Mr. Potato Head
There is nothing quite as nervewracking as going on a first date with someone you don’t know. There are so many different possibilities of things going wrong that just the thought of leaving the house makes you want to puke.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
Unfortunately for this guy, he experienced many, many bad things on his brunch date. What can I say? Some people just don’t have the gift of being smooth, but rather manage to make it a memorable date, in the most awkward way possible.
Free Donuts
What do you think of Uncle Rob’s #WhyImSingle? What appeared to be a sweet, romantic gesture turned out to be nothing but a free donut. His response is one way to squash the spark.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
Even if the donut was free, he had the perfect opportunity to use that free donut to his advantage. He didn’t have to be honest about the origin of said donut. Next time, Uncle Rob, a simple “You’re welcome” will suffice.
Cap’n Crushed
Who doesn’t get nervous when a cute girl says hi? It’s the perfect time to strike up a conversation or even just say “Hello” back. We couldn’t go through this compilation without a response from Jimmy himself. The comedian always starts his viral threads with his own embarrassing story.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
I can’t help but envision how this hilarious encounter went. At least Jimmy seems to have worked on his greetings since then. We wouldn’t say he’s a shy guy, but I guess when it comes to a cute girl that catches you off guard, you can never tell what might happen.
Worth a Shot
People have different “moves” they pull on dates that they think are romantic or smooth and might help them get to the next level with their date. However, most of the time, these moves aren’t romantic or smooth, but cringe-worthy. This guy’s move in the story below is definitely a bit creepy.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
If he pulls this move on every first date, we can see why he’s single. If he’s doing it half-jokingly, maybe some girls find it funny and it’s a good ice-breaker. Otherwise, we can see why he never goes on second dates. It sounds like he knows this isn’t a successful move, though.
Street Magic
Why do guys think girls find magic attractive? We always thought it was just a movie cliché that nerdy guys are into magic and think they can win girls over, using magic tricks, but apparently, this happens in real life too. If you show a girl magic tricks on the first date, don’t get your hopes up about a second date.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
Don’t get us wrong- we’re big Harry Potter fans and we enjoy a good magic trick as much as the next person, but that doesn’t mean we want our date to try and impress us with magic tricks on the first date. There’s a time and place for everything, and the first date isn’t the time to show off amateur magic tricks.
Wink, Wink
It can be very creepy and awkward when you catch a guy checking out your body, and most girls would be frozen with shame or embarrassment and wouldn’t know how to react. A note to all guys- it’s not flattering when you check out our bodies, not even on a date. It’s the opposite of flattering, it just makes us feel creeped out.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
This woman offers solid advice to all women out there- the perfect response when a guy checks out your body. It’s a sure way to get him to stop staring and maybe even think twice the next time he’s about to glare at another woman’s body.
Don’t Go Breaking My Heart
Our friends and family are trying to be supportive when they say stuff like “you’re going to break some hearts one day”, but we aren’t really buying it. There’s nothing that can make people feel better about being single, except maybe a good sense of humor and self-deprecation.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
It sounds like this woman has got some self-humor to help her get through tough times. She’s already come to terms with the fact that the only heart she will be breaking is her own heart, time and time again. That counts as something, right? At least she’s putting herself out there and giving love a chance.
Why I’m Single
There could be a lot of reasons why some people are single that have nothing to do with their looks or personality. Some people are just too particular or unwilling to put themselves out there and risk getting hurt. Some people just haven’t found the right person yet. And others are simply too good.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
At least this guy can laugh about it. A sense of humor is a good quality in a partner- we all want to spend the rest of our lives with someone who makes us laugh and can always put a smile on our faces, right? So, we’re sure this person will find his person one day.
Ouch
This Twitter user got BURNED by his match on a dating app. Brendan’s match went out of her way to give him a piece of dating app advice. Do you think she was rude or helpful? Or maybe a little bit of both? She probably had good intentions, but that’s not something you want to hear on a dating app.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
This one wasn’t Brendan’s fault. Dating apps can be shallow, impersonal, and full of crazies. Props to Brendan for trying to put himself out there! Maybe change your profile pic tho. Hey, this must’ve been a hurtful comment, but the least you can do is take her advice.
Hands on the Wheel
Holding hands while driving is a sweet and intimate experience, especially if you’re driving through beautiful scenery. Makayla doesn’t seem to agree. Safety first, after all. Or maybe she just didn’t want to hold hands with the guy; that’s okay too.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
It’s not necessarily a bad thing to be concerned for one’s safety. Car accidents happen every day all around the country. Do you think she made him hold the wheel at 10 and 2? No one likes to be criticized for their driving skills, but we can’t say we blame Makayla for this one.
Febreeze
Betty should probably work on thinking before she speaks. Her #WhyImSingle might have something to do with her big mouth. On the other hand, we’re not sure she was the problem in this case. She found a very clever way to comment on her date’s particularly messy living quarters.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
To be fair, the guy probably should have cleaned his apartment before inviting guests over (especially romantic ones). I wonder if he found her anecdote as hilarious as I did. In any case, a messy apartment can be a deal-breaker for us, so for all we know, Betty was looking for a way out, and she knew exactly what she was saying.
Chasing Waterfalls
This is probably the funniest #WhyImSingle thus far, and it’s tough competition! Let’s take a look and see why Caitlin isn’t interested in hiking to a waterfall. Perhaps her match didn’t get that she was joking… she was joking, right? At least we know she has a sense of humor, so that’s a plus.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
This dating app guy, on the other hand, clearly has no sense of humor. This one isn’t your fault, Caitlin, he was probably a scrub anyway. And you don’t want no scrubs. This is a timeless song that will forever be engrained in our hearts. Maybe she isn’t the hiking type and she was looking for a fun way out of this.
Her Majesty
Cat enthusiasts will love this Twitter user’s #WhyImSingle. I’ve heard plenty of funny pet names, but Erin’s takes the cake. She may want to consider giving her cat a nickname because by the time she gets to the end her date has already left the building.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
I can’t help but picture Erin “psst, psst”-ing around the house calling her cat’s incredibly long, extravagant name. I think that’s the perfect first date ice-break, don’t you? We don’t see why this should be a deal-breaker for anyone, besides dog people maybe.
Sleeping Beauty
This Twitter user may have their priorities a little askew, or doesn’t understand that you don’t have to choose between sleeping and dating. This #WhyImSingle is for sleep-lovers everywhere. At least if you fall asleep, you know your bed is there to catch you. Your bed will always be there for you. It’s the only constant in your life.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
We all know the importance of a good night’s sleep or a solid nap. Why bother falling in love when you can get some shut-eye instead? Forego the stress of dating – just pop a melatonin and hit the hay. Jordan here makes a solid point. Although, as we’ve said before, it’s not necessarily one or the other.
Sirius Problem
Rhiannon has a Harry Potter obsession. To be fair, many people do. The books are great, the movies are cool, and it’s truly an iconic universe. but is Rhiannon’s #WhyImSingle too much? I’m sure her constant references would get annoying after a while.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
Even I, a fellow Harry Potter lover, think this might be HP overkill. I wouldn’t call it a Sirius problem for Rhiannon, but she probably leaves her dates Stupefy-d. either way, there are plenty of HP heads out there, waiting to find their Hermione Granger.
Grammar Police
Grammar police everywhere will LOVE this Twitter user’s #WhyImSingle. We all have that friend (or maybe it’s you!) that feels the need to point out grammatical errors. Probably not very police to correct someone like this Twitter user, but some people just can’t help themselves.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
While grammar is important, some errors are typically missed and often ignored in electronic communication. We don’t pay attention to everything we type on social media. Not by this Twitter user! Is this something you would do? We can definitely relate to that, but is he taking it too far?
Mmm, Flowers
How sweet is it when a boy picks you a flower? It’s a simple gesture that says a lot. You’d probably respond to such a sweet gesture with a “thank you!” or “it’s beautiful!”. You might even blush. That’s how most people would probably react. Check out Berty’s response. It’s not exactly what you’d expect.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
That’s a new one, for sure. “How was your day, Berty?”. “Oh, it was fine, I panic-ate a flower”. Some flowers are edible – let’s hope this was the case. Even if it was, though, we’re pretty certain this wasn’t the intention. Note: if a boy picks you a flower, please do not eat it.
Starfish
There are all kinds of sleepers – side, front, back, even sideways or diagonal. What about Page? She tends to take up the entire bed, leaving no room for anyone else. There’s simply no room for love in Page’s life, or her bed. There’s literally no room in her bed for anyone else.

I don’t blame her for not wanting to share her bed. It can be difficult to share your space with someone else. Maybe she can make a little room though, for the right person, right? Think lobster or shrimp. I guess when the right person comes along, she’ll be willing to make this sacrifice.
Health Inspector
It can be difficult for some people to separate work from home life, and leave work matters at the door. It’s not uncommon for people to let their jobs take over their lives. This seems to be the case for Twitter user SquawkYou. I don’t think his dates enjoy the professional commentary very much.

He knows a sure fire way to ruin your appetite, and not get a call back. Please take your Health Inspector hat off for the next one, Squawk! It’s not very appetizing, nor very romantic, to hear all about a restaurant’s health violations while you’re trying to enjoy a nice, romantic meal.
Your Problem
Twitter user Wawa has proved that Chivalry isn’t dead. Unfortunately, his chances with his crush are. You don’t see many people opening doors nowadays, so he was off to a good start. He gets a little tongue-tied with this #WhyImSingle and accidentally jumbles up what was supposed to be a simple “you’re welcome”.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
I wonder what his crush thought of that response. It’s always embarrassing when you get tongue-tied, especially in front of a crush. Hopefully, she thought it was just as funny as we did, and realized this was nothing but an honest mistake. At least he had the door thing going on for him, right?
He’s Too Hot
This clever Twitter user’s #WhyImSingle is incorporating a catchy song into every conversation. I think this was Matt’s attempt at getting Jimmy’s attention with a solid joke – and it worked! Very clever, Matt. He’s certainly a creative guy, and he’s pretty funny too. We see how this habit can get annoying, but it’s also pretty entertaining.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
We will now apologize for getting that song stuck in your head. Don’t blame us, though, blame Matt. Hey, look at the bright side – at least that lines from “Waterfalls” is replaced with a better tune.
The Hot Mom
This is a simple case of a compliment gone wrong. Way wrong. Katy tried her hand at flirting with a hot guy and got a little carried away. Nothing like ruining a conversation by telling a guy his mom is hot. Hey, we should cut her some slack – flirting can be pretty tricky. Always saying the right thing is a lot harder than it looks.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
She should have stopped at the smile compliment. That would’ve been more than enough. Then again, if she did, she’d have nothing to share in this thread, and we’d have nothing to laugh at. How do you recover from, “your mom must be hot”? What do you say next?
Klumsy Kate
We can all be a little accident-prone – tripping over our own two feet or poking ourselves in the eye. We all have our embarrassing moments of clumsiness. Katelin has her own accident-prone #WhyImSingle and I just cannot figure out how she did it.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
Were you trying to pull your quilt out of Narnia?! Was there a dryer troll tugging on the other end? I have no words for Katelin’s self-inflicted quilt injuries except proceed to the dryer with caution, Katelin. However, when those bruises heal, feel free to put yourself out there. You clumsy guy is out there, waiting for you.
Stalker Alert
When someone tells you they’ve been watching you, you immediately think “stalker”. Why else would they be watching you? What does that even mean? Ring accidentally got himself into one such predicament. He probably could have said something less threatening like, “I’ve seen you around before”.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
I’m sure he didn’t mean it the way it came out, but the poor girl probably pictured Joe from You and ran for the hills. Maybe it’s better not to say things like that, or better yet – avoid watching people in a creepy manner. Better luck next time, Ring.
Patches
Another shaving #WhyImSingle, but this one’s quite unique. Read about Nicole’s selective shaving. If you’re going through the trouble of shaving, why not just finish the job, Nicole? It will only take a couple more minutes to share the entire leg. Are we right, or are we right?
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
Maybe there’s a guy out there that digs the haphazard hair patches. Maybe he can draw shapes around them or enjoy the comfort of both smooth and furry. That felt weird saying. I have to admit, more than anything else, this is an alarming new level of laziness.
That Was Intense
Have you ever gone to the movies and when the ticket taker says, “enjoy the movie”, like an idiot you respond, “you too”? Well, that’s what Twitter user Avi did, but a little bit worse. What drove them to say that? We’ll probably never know.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
It was clearly a hilarious accident that could have happened to any of us. I’d like to see the worker’s response to Avi’s declaration of love. It’s too bad no one got it on camera. Of all the things to say back to a stranger, “I love you” is not one I would have expected.
Biscuits
Let’s admit it – we’ve all been curious to know what dog biscuits taste like. Not many of us had the courage to actually try them, but we’ve all been curious. Don’t worry, Lauren fills us in with her #WhyImSingle. I still don’t think I would ever eat one and if I did, I’m not sure I’d be bold enough to admit it.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
Thank you, Lauren, for taking one for the team and letting us know what doggy biscuits really taste like. However, maybe don’t tell your dates about it (or at least stick to “it was an accident”). Surely, there’s no need to admit you’ve eaten more than one by choice.
Super Fan
It’s totally normal for a teenager to frame a photo of their favorite celebrity and post it on their wall. What about an adult, like our friend Katie? I imagine her dates might be a little intimidated if they see a photo of a handsome celebrity plastered above her bed. How could they compete?
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
Chris Hemsworth. I mean, how could anyone compete with that? But if you’re dating and trying to attract a partner, you might want to take the celebrity crush off your bedroom wall (and maybe tuck it under the mattress because, you know, it’s Chris Hemsworth).
Man in Black
Joe is concerned the lack of color in his wardrobe will hinder his dating life. If his Twitter handle doesn’t give him away, he cracks a joke at his all-black attire. Though, I’m not convinced it’s such a bad thing. We all have certain preferences when it comes to fashion.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
Is wearing all black really a turnoff? It’s not as uncommon as you’d think. For some people, wearing all black is a life mantra. Black looks great on everyone. It’s slimming, flattering, and super easy to work with. For some people, it even matches their personality. Keep the black, Joe.
Couch Potato
Twitter user, New Year, is my spirit animal. Their #WhyImSingle sounds like the perfect Sunday afternoon. A lot of people might relate to this guilty pleasure. You’re not alone in your weirdness, fellow Twitter user. Your weird girl is out there somewhere, eating leftovers on the couch while watching reruns of her favorite movie.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
After all, who doesn’t love vegging out on sleepy Sundays? Is there really anything wrong with that? Grab some snacks (or mashed potatoes), some sweats, and pop on Netflix and you’re good to go. Your couch potato is out there, New Year.
The Joker
There’s nothing worse than ruining the punch line of a joke. In this #WhyImSingle, it’s Justin telling the jokes, and Justin ruining them. Sometimes, a joke is funnier when delivered with laughter, but not if that means you can’t get the whole joke out.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
Maybe he has an incredible sense of humor, which is always a good thing to look for in a partner. We all want someone to keep us laughing and smiling, and pick our spirits up when we’re in a bad mood. There’s still hope for you, Justin.
Uh, Duh
Will mustn’t have known how to take a compliment, or maybe he was nervous. His #WhyImSingle is stating the obvious. At least he said “thank you”. Obviously, this was meant as a compliment and a way to strike up a conversation, and it flew right above Will’s head.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
In case you didn’t know, glasses help you see. Of course, some people wear them as a fashion accessory, but most of us use them as an aid to improve our vision. While we laugh at the expense of Will’s pain, at least we can agree he isn’t wrong. We see you, Will!
The Sneeze
Think of the absolute worst time to let out a sneeze. What comes to mind? Ricky doesn’t have to think, he knows. He’s lived it. In an embarrassing turn of events, Ricky sneezes at the most inopportune time you can possibly think of. This is certainly a unique way to ruin a first date.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
Post-movie, they approach the most exciting part of a first date. The kiss! They both lean in, sparks are flying, and Ricky… sneezes in her face. Oops. Perhaps he should have turned his head first and excused himself but it sounds like Ricky was simply too late, and far too caught up in the moment to miss his chance due to a silly sneeze.
Stay Hydrated!
There is nothing more exciting than a cute girl flashing you a smile. It might be a good time to smile back, say hello, or ask for her name. That is, unless you are Zack filling a water bottle. The thought of sweet liquid gold filling your cup might be so distracting you can’t help but express the importance of hydrating.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
It’s more likely that his response was a nervous one and he wasn’t actually that into his water bottle. As for the moan? I don’t have an explanation for that one. It’s a slip-up. It’s possible Zack’s dry phone has to do with his poor communication skills. What do you think?
Out of Words
Is there anything more embarrassing than grunting at someone in an elevator? In Tess’s case, the answer is yes – when that someone is a hot guy that lives in your building. Yikes! Tess got a little tongue-tied, which is understandable when you’re faced with someone attractive. However, her response is unique all on its own.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
Tess is a manager at a communications company, but it seems like her work experience didn’t come in handy with this particular hot guy run-in. It’s always difficult when these moments catch up by surprise! We suggest taking some time to practice in the mirror and maybe you’ll have better luck next time!
I Need My Pen
Asking a cute boy to borrow his pen is a great ice-breaker. First, you’re borrowing his pen. Next, you’re borrowing his clothes (and never giving them back *evil laughter*). If you’re Ann, though, that ice-breaker might turn into the cold shoulder. Just because someone gives you a pen doesn’t mean they’re into you.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
To be fair, he held out his hand. Who knew he just wanted his pen back? Probably any normal person. Ann couldn’t help but take advantage of the opportunity to hold hands with the cutie- and she succeeded! Awkwardly and embarrassingly, but Ann held hands with a cute boy that day and no one can take that away from her.
