    Why Dating In Your 20s Is The Worst, Told By Joseph Gordon-Levitt

    everybody knows how frustrating dating is when you're 20something, Joseph Gordon-Levitt feels your pain.

    so you've noticed you've picked up some weird hobbies

    and your friends are worried about you

    and probably sick of hearing you complain

    so you decide to let them set you up with someone

    the night of your date is finally here, and you make sure you look your absolute best

    you end up getting there a little too early and having a decent buzz by the time they arrive

    you actually end up having a lot more fun than you expected

    you're up all night thinking about your future together

    and for the next week you're happy, until you realize...

    ...they haven't called

    you spend hours over-analyzing everything and kicking yourself for stupid things you said

    THEN YOU GET A TEXT! DATE NUMBER TWO!

    date number two is GREAT!

    so are dates 3-20

    then you realized, it happened...

    ...you've fallen in love...

    ...so you decide to have "the talk"

    to which you receive this response:

    and you're all

    until you see their relationship status change from "single" to "in a relationship"

    and you wonder "what do they have that i don't?"

    and you're angry...SO ANGRY!

    you fantasize about bad things happening to them

    and you wonder how long you'll be in this funk

    you avoid going out in public at all costs

    your friends get worried again

    you take up some bad habits

    and give yourself a drastic makeover

    after many pep talks from friends and lots of alcohol...

    ...you decide to get closure via drunkenly texting them...

    ...and lie to them

    so you got your closure, and you're actually happy again

    and as much as you vow to never get attached again, it starts all over a month later with a new person
