Back in the day, chatting up a hottie at the bar was a pretty nerve-racking experience. You had to plan what you wanted to say, wait for the opportune moment, and try not to look too disappointed when you inevitably got shot down. Really, it's a lot more hassle than it's worth.
However, with Tinder, all that pressure is lifted off - and the fact that you've already achieved a right-swipe means you've already got a little bit of a chance.
Unfortunately, thanks to this great place called The Internet, it also means your conversations will live on for all eternity...

Ok, so maybe some of these would have worked on the right person - but they're still pretty bad. So, if you're planning on using the internet to find your next potential Netflix and chill partner, perhaps avoid making the same mistakes these guys did.
