#DatingIsHardBecause hashtag lights up Twitter, resonates with all of us

Raise your hand if you think dating, sometimes, ain't all that grand...
Leonardo DiCaprio

It’s official: all it takes is a trending Twitter hasthtag to bring people of all different ages, genders and ethnicities together.

And there’s nothing quite like bonding over the fact that, sometimes, hitting the dating scene can, well, kind of suck!

Introducing the Twitter hashtag we can all relate to…

DatingIsHardBecause has allowed singletons across the globe to air their thoughts on the trials and tribulations of finding love.

Twitter user Clyde Donovan wrote, “#DatingIsHardBecause nobody will make me feel as good as the first bite of a taco does,” while Moshow admits, “#DatingIsHardBecause most people don’t understand my cat level”.

Singleton Jared Leto told Rolling Stone earlier this year about the one thing he’s learnt about women: “I know absolutely nothing about women.”

Then there’s Shea Browning, who blames Siri for his dating mishaps (“Siri is awful at making her mind up on a dinner location”), and McMannofthepeople, who doesn’t “have a single thing to wear [that] goes with this ankle monitor”.

Too. Much. Hilariousness.

Leonardo DiCpario has dated an assortment of beautiful Hollywood babes (including Gisele Bundchen!), but the 50-year-old is yet to settle down.

Taylor Swift has very publicly documented the times she’s dabbled in dating in almost every song she has ever written…

But these dating confessions – like when Twitter user sahil(-: told the internet that “#DatingIsHardBecause I like food more than I like most people” – is where celebrities and us mere mortals have more in common than many may think.

From Charlize Theron and Leo DiCaprio to Taylor Swift and James Franco, each of these A-listers, who have been linked to a handful of wannabe suitors, claim to still be single.

Even rocker-slash-actor Jared Leto has said being a bachelor “is just how things are”.

We here you, Jared. We here you.
