While dating can feel like a high-stakes game, I think many of us could benefit from a little levity and a good laugh. Hopefully, this article will highlight the humorous side of navigating the dating world.

We all need to find the funny in everyday situations and enjoy a chuckle now and then, even if it’s at someone else’s expense (within reason, of course!).

*WARNING: Please don’t actually try any of these at home!

Online Dating Funnies:

Anyone who’s ventured into the realm of online dating knows the pressure of crafting that perfect, attention-grabbing profile header. It’s supposed to entice people to click and read more about you. Well, this has always been a minor annoyance for me. Despite my own (humble!) belief in my brilliance, translating that into a witty or profound one-liner for strangers online often feels impossible.

So, I’ve done a bit of digging and found some individuals who clearly do know how to attract attention, even if their methods are a little… unconventional.

10 of the Funniest Online Dating Profile Headers:

  • You must be over 5’10” to read my profile
  • Is this thing like eBay?
  • Shopping for Guys – And They Said There Was No Such Store
  • I am like poop. The older I get, the easier I am to pick up.
  • I bathe everyday!
  • Feel free to interact with me. All my shots are current!
  • Coffee, Chocolate and Men – some things are just better rich.
  • I believe in dragons, good men, and other fantasy creatures.
  • You can’t ALL be the one I am looking for!
  • Willing to lie about how we met!

Would any of those entice you to send a message? I know some of them probably would for me. A good sense of humor is definitely an attractive quality.

Meeting the Parents:

Ah, meeting the parents. A truly nerve-wracking experience, as I know all too well. Upon meeting my fiancé’s parents almost three years ago now, I have a hazy recollection of drunkenly informing his mother that I would totally “shag” Will Smith if the opportunity arose. Seriously?! What on earth was I thinking? Needless to say, I’m not the only one who has had a less-than-perfect first parental introduction. So, to help you avoid similar (or perhaps even more bizarre) scenarios, I’ve compiled a list of 10 things you should absolutely never say when meeting the parents for the first time (make that 11 if you include my Will Smith confession).

10 Things You Should Never Say When Meeting the Parents:

  • “Shall we get take-out instead?”
  • “Is that your car in the driveway that I just backed into?”
  • “This house could really do with a lick of paint.”
  • “I am glad I ate before coming over.”
  • (To the mother) “You are as sexy as your daughter.”
  • (To the father) “That shelf looks crooked; did you put it up yourself?”
  • (If they smoke) “Did you know that smoking causes cancer?”
  • “Do you want me to cook?”
  • “Can I sleep in (girlfriend/boyfriend)’s room tonight?”
  • (To the mother) “Have you tried that new anti-wrinkle cream?”

Pick Up Lines:

I’m sure we’ve all been on the receiving end of a pick-up line at some point, or perhaps even used one ourselves. I know I’ve had my fair share tried on me, and I mostly just laugh them off. But the truly funny ones sometimes manage to grab my attention.
