If you've ever been in a heterosexual relationship, you'll be aware that women express their love in a very different manner to men. Now, of course there are exceptions, but in the majority of cases, women tend to be more affectionate than their boyfriends. They're also more into doing conventionally "romantic" activities, which they then proceed to document on social media, with the addition of a litany of love-heart emojis, naturally. This point was rather cogently proven by a young woman who took to Twitter on Monday to share the very different captions that she and her boyfriend wrote about the same picture. [[twitterwidget||https://twitter.com/bellakoval/status/917152057773187077]] The biggest response that Isabella got, however, was more of the same. Boyfriends and girlfriends everywhere took to Twitter to share their own hilarious Instagram captions. And some of them were pure gold:

"Sean choked on a piece of cheese stuffed crust the other day and almost died, I'm glad he didn't" vs. "Mary eats ass."

 "Because of you, I smile a little bigger and laugh a little longer" vs. "Wizard kelly with the Sky Hook".

 "My favorite person" vs. "Ravioli ravioli give me the formuoli."

 "Thanks for being the best date I could've asked for" vs. "Meat sticks or nah?"

And "I like green and dis boi" vs. "Some green shit"

"My boyfriend rarely posts on any social media and I’m always telling him he should post more [...] So Saturday we went to the game, and I know nothing about football, and he was trying to explain the game to me, but I was too into my food." She added that Justin didn't even know that she had posted their posts on Twitter, "It was really unexpected; when he saw our posts side by side he thought it was hilarious, but really didn't think anything of it until I pointed out," she wrote. Isabella and Justin sure did have a great time reading through everyone else's side-splitting captions, "Seeing all the other couples tagging each other was a trip," she added. As cute as this is, I want to know how these guys are all getting so many likes on their posts, share the secret!

Despite the fact that we've now had years to get used to it, there are still plenty of people out there who haven't quite got the hang of texting. I'm not just talking about slow texters or people who include typos all the time, but those who don't exactly have a grasp on the art of messaging. Without the cues we get from body language and vocal quirks, it's often hard to judge the tone of what you're saying. Without the right emojis, your sarcastic joke can sound like a completely serious comment, or your sweet message can sound blunt and rude. Things only become more complicated when you're talking to someone you're attracted to. Whether it's a crush or a long-term partner, it can cause all kinds of problems if there's a miscommunication. Frankly, I'm pretty terrible at this kind of thing, but there are some people out there who absolutely have it down. It's one thing being a supportive and loving partner, but sometimes little gestures like a sweet and original message can do wonders for your relationship. And as everyone on Twitter agreed, this boyfriend nailed it. After receiving a selfie from his significant other, he needed to send an appropriate reply. Going the extra mile, he decided that a photo reaction was the only way to capture how good her picture was. His girlfriend then posted a screenshot of the conversation, along with the caption, "I send my boyfriend some selfies I just took while he's at work and this is his response". [[twitterwidget||https://twitter.com/creoleegyal/status/953375427036409856]] The tweet went viral, and Alexia ended up receiving nearly a thousand comments, over 65,000 retweets and nearly 250,000 likes at the time of writing. Plenty of other users on the social media platform were sure to point out how amazing his response was, as well as how perfect their relationship looks like from the outside. [[twitterwidget||https://twitter.com/DesireeNahFret/status/953379585801977857]] [[twitterwidget||https://twitter.com/Up_At4am/status/953381294192431104]] [[twitterwidget||https://twitter.com/eaaaaron___/status/953457107008827392]] After all, this is exactly the response you want when you send out an immaculate selfie, though I'm sure Alexia wasn't expecting something so dramatic. As one user said, "Bro told a co worker to take a picture of him cause his girl looks good. King", while others simply agreed with his response to the dynamite photo. [[twitterwidget||https://twitter.com/Ayoo_Damoo/status/953406928654225408]] [[twitterwidget||https://twitter.com/Milesc_Webb/status/953402176738652160]] Eventually, the original poster weighed back in, surprised by the amount of responses she received and quick to point out they are far from "couple goals". [[twitterwidget||https://twitter.com/creoleegyal/status/953395607460368384]] Responding to this tweet, another user told her: "Nahhh. Ive been w/my guy for 14yrs and married for 9, we’re best friends. Being sweet, funny, and staying in love is exactly how you do it. You’re a goal!" [[twitterwidget||https://twitter.com/Just_SomeChick/status/953692720811294721]] I think it's fair to say that while Alexia doesn't think so, this kind of interaction is something all couples should be aiming for. Beyond that, you can find out the secret to staying together in a long term relationship.

Text messages have changed the way we communicate, but it hasn't made anything less awkward. We've all had those moments where you don't know if someone is sarcastic, or you see that your friend "read" your message but didn't respond (WHY?!), or Siri accidentally texts your crush "Will you ever text me?" (Okay, that situation is more rare, but it happened to one woman.)

Today most people would rather text than talk, which means that arguments can turn into essay battles. Each party rambles, pouring their heart out, dropping blocks of blue and gray text like the saddest game of Tetris. When you're typing, it's easier to articulate your thoughts, but the responses - and non-responses - can be frustrating. Luckily, they can also be hilarious.

Twitter user @XOashh_ shared a screenshot of a text conversation with her boyfriend. "I send this 3 page essay to my bf in a argument [and] this is what he texts back," she wrote.

As you tell from the screenshot, she went an epic rant, filling the screen with at least six huge paragraphs. The words are redacted with red hearts (just like the FBI does), so we don't know exactly what her meltdown was about. But it's clearly pretty intense stuff, warranting a thoughtful response from her romantic partner.. However, her boyfriend wrote back a six word non-sequitur: "Jc penny have 2$ big towels."

The Twitter-verse found his random response hilarious. I mean, we've all gotten flat, lackluster replies before, like "ok" or "cool" or "ok cool." But mentioning a sale on big towels at JC Penney is so weirdly specific.

Someone asked @XOashh_ if they had been arguing about towels - the color, the fabric and the size. How big is big? One person’s big could be a medium! And is there such a thing as too big? Unfortunately, this was not the case.

[[twitterwidget||https://twitter.com/XOashh_/status/970706380146597888]]

Many people asked if the sale is still happening. It is a pretty good price. $2 for a small or medium towel is a ripoff, but for a big towel, that is a steal.

The conversation ends here, so we don't know how she responded to that towel sale text. Maybe she brutally clapped back, or maybe she sent a crying-laughing emojii, or maybe she hopped in the car and drove to JC Penney to take advantage of that sweet ass sale.

I like to think that the boyfriend made the perfect response, and that the text message is a metaphor. JC Penny represents the world. The big towels represent their love; soft, but tough, a comfort when you’re at your most vulnerable. The two dollars represents them as a couple. They've had their troubles, but they shouldn’t throw on the towel.

In a related story, a hungover college girl woke up to a bizarre text about her drunken antics the night before, involving a goat...

 

If I were to mention a news story about a boyfriend and his girlfriend's bikini photos, you would probably automatically begin to cringe, bracing yourself for an awful turn of events.

And you'd be right to. It seems that everytime you check the newspapers, there's some new revolting tale of an ex-lover leaking explicit images online for the world to see without their old partner's permission.

But calm your worried mind, because the story you're about to read is one that features a boyfriend, his girlfriend's bikini pictures and sheer hilarity.

Twitter user Marissa Tee was recently in the middle of a deep and meaningful conversation with her boyfriend when he sent her a collage of her bikini photos. However, it sure wasn't your average skimpy collage, with the unique photo series being musically inspired by the song Cotton-Eye Joe by Rednex.

[[twitterwidget||https://twitter.com/Marissa_Tee_/status/1007442437009272837]]

Perhaps we can agree that it wasn't exactly perfect timing to send it, but the musical collage sure was entertaining. It turns out that thousands of other people appreciated it too, with Marissa's post on Twitter gaining an incredible 211,000 retweets, 578,000 likes and 3,600 comments. Not bad for a rookie collage-maker and singer, eh?

Social media users also showed their appreciation in the comment section, with many losing it at the video. "I am beyond impressed at how well he knew all the "notes" and also how he didn't crack up way sooner. I would have lost it the first second," wrote Twitter user @cmiller9813.

User @mamiimini also praised the post, writing: "I could not... she said she was having a heart to heart someone could have told me they were dying and I would have busted out laughing that’s too funny lmfao".

What a fun boyfriend to have around, huh? Well, you're about to get an even bigger taste of the green-eyed monster now when you see another post that Marissa made about her boyfriend. Not long before she went viral with the video, the Twitter user uploaded another Tweet that spoke of how she'd finally found the perfect guy.

"After years of constant heartbreak & my heart being used and dragged around i thought it was impossible I’d find someone who could love me for me," she wrote. "So, thank you to the universe for giving me a love i thought I’d never find. Everyone was right, the wait is worth it."

[[twitterwidget||https://twitter.com/Marissa_Tee_/status/975771473028829184]]

Beneath her caption, Marissa had uploaded screenshots of the adorable conversations that the two had shared. One read: "You are the one person that took an actual chance on me. Without hesitation. And I just want to thank you for believing in me. I love you with all my heart and soul and will continue you strive to make you the happiest human on this planet. I love you. I'm going to marry you. We are going to have a family. You are my everything."

Pretty darn adorable, right? Now, tell us, Marissa, where exactly do we find a guy like this?

The world of dating is a strange and confusing place. Now, there are so many apps and avenues that you can use to potentially find The One, that it is easy to become overawed by the whole thing. It can quite often be hard to believe that people used to physically meet each other before going on a date. While it is now common for couples to form on Tinder, it used to be that you met someone in a bar, club or somewhere else. Apps like Tinder and Bumble have changed that game and have also brought in new and confusing dating terms such as ghosting, micro cheating and sidebarring. Such is the intimidating nature of the online dating scene, some people have now taken matters into their own hands and are using less-than-conventional methods to find their beau. Meet Rachel Salisbury, an actor and writer who has taken to Facebook in order to bag herself a boyfriend. Rachel claims that she was inspired by her friend Katie, who met her husband by doing the same thing just a few years ago. On her personal profile Rachel posted an advert for a boyfriend, which you can read below: "Ok guys. This is probably the scariest post I’ve ever written but here goes. I, Rachel Salisbury, would like a boyfriend. "I have been inspired to write this because someone I know wrote a post like this a few years ago and is now engaged (thank you Katie Brennan!). So I thought – right. Online dating is such a pain and I can’t quite force myself to use the apps. And in the olden days people did a bit of match-making for their friends (as my mum constantly reminds me). So here I go – I’m putting myself out there." "I am an actor and a writer and I work on a box office and I run kid’s parties (phew!) I love theatre and films and music and books. I love singing and dancing (but not in a musical theatre way) and spending time with friends and my family and laughing and having interesting chats. I flatter myself I’m quite funny (RIGHT GUYS?). "I try very hard to be a good person and am in general day to day in a pretty sunny mood. I’m a vegan and a socialist and a feminist and am very passionate about the above. I also lovesss to cook and bake and I love being in nature!" "I am looking for… ideally… a) someone who’s got their sh*t together. Can’t be doing with flakiness or unreliability b) someone interested/involved in the arts in some way c) someone who’s generous and kind and warm and shiny and positive and happy to be silly and funny and have a great old time. "If you have any friends and you think me and him would get on, drop me a message! I’ve attached some pics of my FACE. "KTHANKSBYE *runs and hides in the corner of the room rocking* *awaits tumbleweed* *ripme*" While Rachel's method of dating may be unconventional, it does have its benefits. Meeting people through friends is ideal, as it allows you to find out more about them, you already no their friends and you can have a good stalk of their profile when they land in your DM's. Who knows, maybe Rachel is about to change the dating game forever?
