And, thanks to social media, that person is likely sharing that experience with the world, along with some lessons learned and free advice.

Just because dating is hard doesn’t mean it can’t be fun. It can be a roller coaster ride of highs and lows, but that’s what makes it interesting. And reading other people’s thoughts, ideas, advice, and funny stories can help you learn to enjoy the ride. That’s what is so great about these Instagram feeds — they help you realize you aren’t alone in the dating world.
