One lazy afternoon, I was with four of my friends while they were discussing how dating apps have taken over everyone's phones. I sat in bewilderment while they told crazy stories about the ridiculous messages they'd received. "Why would anyone do that?" I asked hypothetically. But after a bit of convincing, I downloaded some apps just to see what all the fuss was about. I was officially on the inside. And here are the absolute gems of guys I found.

1. Mr. Original

E for effort.

2. Mr. The Bars Just Closed And I Came Up Empty Handed

Can't blame him for trying.

3. Mr. Creative

I've never really thought about it, so props to him for getting me thinking.

4. Mr. Mama's Boy

Ahhh so close...

5. Mr. Copy And Paste From Google

I wonder how many times he's forgotten to change the name at the end.

6. Mr. Prince Charming

Confession: I thought this was adorable and almost messaged him back.

7. Mr. Artistic

Oh?

8. Mr. "She Doesn't Even Go Here!"

I had to throw a "Mean Girls" reference in here somehow.

9. Mr. Did You Really Just Say That?

*unmatches immediately*

10. Mr. Unanswered Questions

Still wondering about this one, to be honest.

11. Mr. School Spirit

Finish the drill.

12. Mr. Pickup Lines

Sorry that I ruined it, buddy.

13. Mr. Butt Stuff

The frowny face at the end was a nice touch, though.

14. Mr. Guy From Your Hometown

Boris is my father, by the way.

15. Mr. Tinderator

Still waiting for someone to define this on Urban Dictionary.

16. Mr. Procreate

Not what most people use this app for, but I admire the dude for chasing his dreams.

17. Mr. Emoji

Kind of an interesting conversation starter for real life. I might steal it.

18. Mr. You're Wearing The Visiting Team's Colors In Your Pic

He didn't reply.

19. Mr. I Couldn't Think Of A Name For This But I Thought It Was Hilarious

Definitely the best conversation I ever had on a dating app.
