Valentine’s Day is supposed to be all roses, chocolate, and romantic gestures, but as these funny fails prove, love doesn’t always go as planned.
From cringy gift exchanges to dinner dates that took a turn for the awkward, these moments are a reminder that Cupid’s aim isn’t always perfect.
Whether you’re single, taken, or somewhere in between, these photos and stories might just make you feel better about your own Valentine’s Day experiences—or lack of them.
Keep going for romance gone wrong.
