In today's society it's not uncommon to start a conversation in someone's DMs and go on a date that involves Netflix and maybe some chill. Twitter's newest trending hashtag, #My5WordRomanceNovel hilariously sums up what it's like to date in 2016. These 19 romance "novels" are way too funny and a little bit depressing.
We live in a time where dates are met online, dating involves Netflix and chill and sharing every detail of our life is normal.

Hey, as long as the disappointment is mutual.
The greatest thing to come out of the 2016 dating era has to be this Twitter hashtag.

Whoa, things are getting serious.
People are describing their dating life in a short five word statements…

Sounds like the best kind of relationship.
And using the hashtag #My5WordRomanceNovel

Eh, good enough.
This is the time where sliding into someone’s DMs is the new pickup line.

That's how all conversations start, right?
And filling the void in your heart with endless amounts of pasta is totally okay.

Breadsticks > love.
From hilarious tweets exclaiming the joy of finally getting a text back…

Started from the bottom now we're here. It only took a whole year.
To tweets about modern day flirting…

It's true love.
The #My5WordRomanceNovel hashtag is showing us what it’s really like to date in 2016.

We're done. Why are you still here?
This hashtag just goes to show you that dating definitely isn’t what it used to be.

No romantic walk in the park? Okay, cool.
In a culture where one night stands are the norm…

It was nice knowin' ya.
And stalking can be done over Facebook…

YASSSS! He followed me back.
Finding someone who truly enjoys your interests can be rather challenging.

No? Yeah, this can't happen.
But don’t ever lose hope, because you’ll always have your cat.

This is really what love feels like.
19 cats and counting.

Sounds about right!
And fried cheese will mend any broken heart.

Food will never break your heart.
So just go on and keep kissing all the frogs you need…

Even if there are way too many to count.
Until you finally find out what true love is.

Math may not be your favorite, but love is.
And when all else fails, you’ll always have pizza, Netflix and whiskey waiting to be your knight in shining armor.

And that my friends is the best date anyone could ever have.
