🖤 17 Pieces of Dating Advice That Will Absolutely Ruin You

You’re going to get ghosted. You’ll catch feelings you said you wouldn’t. You’ll spiral over someone who sends voice notes but never makes real plans. It’s fine. This is dating now.

And the worst part? You’ll follow advice you know is trash. Because it sounds smart. Because your friend swears it worked for them. Because you want chaos and closeness and maybe a little validation on a random lonely night.

At Bad Advice, we turned all that into a game. But before you play it, here’s what’s coming your way.

💔 17 Tips That Will 100% Mess You Up (Sorry In Advance)

1. “Just vibe. Don’t label it.”

You’ll say this with your whole chest while developing deep emotional dependence and pretending not to care.

2. “Wait to reply. You don’t want to seem too into it.”

You’ll wait so long they’ll get back with their ex. You’ll find out via Instagram Story.

3. “Just DM them. What’s the worst that could happen?”

The worst? You’ll unsend the message five times and still lie awake wondering if they saw it.

4. “Block them for closure.”

You’ll unblock them three days later and spiral all over again. Rinse, repeat.

5. “Hook up first. Feelings later.”

Spoiler: feelings will arrive immediately, and they’ll be loud.

6. “If it’s messy, it’s real.”

You’ll confuse cortisol with compatibility. Again.

7. “Ghosting is self-care.”

You’ll avoid conflict, then accidentally run into them at a bar and disassociate for 48 hours.

8. “Date multiple people. Keep your roster alive.”

You’ll be emotionally attached to one, physically into another, and forget the third’s name entirely.

9. “If the group chat is sick of hearing about them, it means something.”

It means you’re entering your obsessed clown era. Again.

10. “Don’t say how you feel. That’s embarrassing.”

You’ll say nothing, and then panic when they don’t magically read your mind.

11. “Crash out fast so you can move on faster.”

You’ll fall hard, get weird, overshare, and then ghost yourself out of shame.

12. “If they follow their ex, red flag.”

If they don’t follow their ex? Even worse. Now you’re suspicious and curious.

13. “Lie on your dating profile. It’s just a persona.”

You’ll say you love hiking. Then you'll end up scaling a cliff for someone who barely texts back.

14. “You’ll catch feelings if you keep hooking up.”

You’ll pretend you haven’t, while casually stalking their tagged photos like it’s your job.

15. “Let them come to you.”

They won’t. But their roommate will. And now it’s messy.

16. “No label doesn’t mean no loyalty.”

It absolutely means no loyalty. You’ll learn this the hard way.

17. “Post a thirst trap. Regain power.”

They won’t like it. But their ex’s sibling will. Now you’re texting them. You’ll say it’s revenge. It’s not.

You’re Gonna Live It. Might As Well Play It.

Dating in 2025 will be unhinged. You’ll overshare. You’ll pretend to be chill. You’ll catch feelings when you said you wouldn’t and send “u up?” texts you swore you’d deleted.
