Find the humor in dating disasters with these laugh-out-loud dating quotes that address everything from blind dates to texting.

Mae West
"Save a boyfriend for a rainy day - and another, in case it doesn't rain."

Dating quotes from the Golden Age of cinema can still be a good reminder that like the weather, you can't predict men.

Helen Fielding, "Bridget Jones's Diary"

Playground rules that still apply to adulthood.

Zac Efron
"Dating is kind of hard. Like dinner or something like that. Like a forced awkward situation is very strange. Especially for me, for some reason."

A reminder that even Zac gets weird feels!

Kelly Osbourne
"I was dating this guy, and we would spend all day text messaging each other. He thought he could tell that he liked me more because he actually spelled the word 'you', and I just put the letter 'u'."

For single girls who have spent their fair share of time analyzing a guy's text.

Aziz Ansari
"One girl raved about a nice voicemail a guy had recently left her. I kindly requested she play it and heard this gem: 'Hey, Lydia. It's Sam. Just calling to say what's up. Gimme a ring when you get a chance.' THAT WAS IT. I pleaded to know what was so great about this. She sweetly recalled that 'he remembered my name, he said hi, and he told me to call him back.' Never mind the fact that what she described was the content of LITERALLY EVERY VOICEMAIL IN HISTORY. Name, hello, please call back. Not really a boatload of charm on display. To fail this test, a guy would have to leave a message that said: 'No greeting. This is man. I don't remember you. End communication.'"

That event predictably leads to the magical moment of their first kiss. Please. I fall ALL the time. You know who comes and gets me? The bouncer."

Unless you're Kate Hudson, here's most women's typical Friday night.
