A GIF Guide To Every Bad Date You’ve Ever Been On

We’ve all been on terrible dates, when he’s just not that into you, you’re just not that into him and neither of you are that into existing right now. They’re a part of growing up, and we all have to survive them. This is how it happens. And this is how we make it through to the other side. Let Tina Fey be your guide.

When You Don’t Know What To Wear:

When You Almost Give Up On Finding Anything And You’re Like, “Aw, Fuck It”:

While Tweeting And Responding To Text Messages

He Even Takes A Call:
