These hapless boyfriends and girlfriends might not be quite ready for marriage just yet, but they definitely have this "romance" thing nailed down. Because, after all, what's "romance" without making fun of your partner?
Fried Chicken-Scented Chaos
This conniving boyfriend has a deep-fried trick up his sleeve and even the Colonel himself is partaking. Armed with a fire log that smells like KFC fried chicken, he plans to light it during a visit with his girlfriend and her vegetarian family.
"Time to unleash chaos," the boyfriend wrote. After this escapade, I can't imagine he'll be invited back to his girlfriend's home anytime soon. Worth it.
The Maternity Photoshoot
A current trend for expectant/new mothers is to have a maternity photoshoot near the end of their pregnancy and then another after the baby is born. This couple might not have a bouncing baby boy, but they do have a bouncing baby PlayStation 5.
Finally scoring the gaming console for themselves, there was no better way to celebrate than with a photoshoot.
Wholesome Messages
Some people leave romantic messages for their partners in the form of greeting cards. Then there is this woman, and her preferred artistic medium is snow.
Before leaving her boyfriend's apartment, she writes a life-sized "I love you" message in the snow with her feet before happily disappearing into the night.
The (Hilarious) Sins Of The Father
While looking through old family photos, one girlfriend came across this photo from 1985 of a scowling and very unimpressed baby boy. Who's that baby in the photo? Why that's her boyfriend.
"And in unrelated news, I've decided I don't want children," she writes.
Extended Warranties
This boyfriend explains that he and his girlfriend got into a fight and didn't speak to each other for three days. As a peace offering, he sent her a gift from Amazon with this romantic message.
Although it begs the question, if this was the message he sent her, what on earth was the actual gift? Perhaps it was a Dating For Dummies book.
Seeing Double
A man came home one day and was greeted by the sight of his girlfriend and their cat in matching salmon-colored hoodies.
By the looks of this photo, perhaps the girlfriend loves her cat more than her boyfriend. Where's his matching hoodie?
A Trip To Niagara Falls
On a trip to one of the natural wonders of the world, this woman couldn't help but be amused by her boyfriend as he takes a trip in a barrel over the edge of the falls.
By the way, the Canadian side—Horseshoe Falls—is the superior side of Niagara Falls. Don't fight me on this.
A Moment Of Silence For This Guy
Any man who's asked his girlfriend to move in with him before will empathize a lot with this photo.
Sorry, dude, but once her belongings make their way into the bathroom and onto the vanity, it's officially her space now. Accept your fate.
Clever Girl
Ladies everywhere, between endless games of football, basketball, and hockey on TV, certain months of the year are very dangerous for us. Why? Because our partners aren't paying attention to us.
But if you're this woman, then that sports addiction can be used to your advantage.
Befriending A Water Puppy
Happy couples consider their significant other their best friend and another hallmark of happy couples are adults who are simply big kids at heart. This woman realized that her boyfriend is definitely both.
While on a trip to the aquarium, he befriended a playful sea lion, much to his own enjoyment and that of his girlfriend who's behind the camera.
Shrek Is Love, Shrek Is Life
This woman shared a cute selfie of herself and her boyfriend, and in response, her boyfriend shared the photo on the right. We'll hazard a guess and say that she probably isn't a big fan of being referred to as a donkey.
"Bold of your boyfriend to assume he's as sexy as Shrek," one Redditor commented.
A Toilet Paper Tyrant
Imagine meeting the woman of your dreams, deciding that you want to spend your life with her, and then learning that this is how she changes the toilet paper roll.
"How do I tell her she needs to move out?" her boyfriend asked.
Gotta Catch 'Em All
This man was given a Pokémon coin by his son and kept it tucked away in his wallet. But then came the awkwardness of explaining to his girlfriend that it was not something else.
His butt was officially saved by a kids' anime show.
And Finally
This boyfriend was taking a posed photo of his girlfriend along the shoreline of a popular beach when he suddenly realized, "so was every other Instagram boyfriend."
Is it an original concept? Oh god no, but these boyfriends get points for making their girlfriends Instagram-ready —especially the guy using an actual DSLR camera.
When You Love Your Boyfriend Almost As Much As Chocolate
Any couple knows that just because you love your significant other doesn't mean that they can help themself to your food. As Joey from Friends once eloquently said, "Joey doesn't share food!"
Confronted with a boyfriend who loves Reese's peanut butter cups but hates eggs, this girlfriend found the perfect way to keep her precious junk food safe.
