Dating is something that takes a lot of guts and experience from everyone who wants to be good at it. But nobody, not even your friend Trevor who spends all of his weekends chasing Tinder matches, is safe from making a fool of themselves. And some of these misfires can be painful not only for the two people who are on the date, but to everyone around them.

To prove this point, I'll ask you to take a look at the subreddit r/SadCringe. It's a place for awkward and/or embarrassing situations that also make your heart ache, and while we have already covered it in one of our older publications, this one is dedicated exclusively to pathetic attempts of winning over others.

I don't know if we should feel sorry for these folks or not — many from this bunch sound like they would fail a test in common decency. But let's try to judge their behavior rather than their personalities. If that's possible.

This is so bad, so fricking bad! These types of people belong in mental asylums, if not jail.

WTAF is wrong with these people, are they really so dimwitted they think these sickening texts would persuade anyone into doing anything other than blocking them?

Knock knock guy was cute! I laughed. Funny silly joke. Made her laugh. Possessive boyfriend is creepy. If I were her, I would dump creep and see if knock knock guy is single.
