15+ Clueless Girlfriends Who Missed The Mark And Might Be Single Soon

There's nothing better than a love story. While everyone dreams of a romance like Jack and Rose (you know, before the freezing to death part), some relationships are less epic Hollywood romance and more hapless romantic comedy.

From girlfriends who are clueless like adorable puppies to girlfriends whose clueless nature leaves behind a trail of destruction, these women get a C+ for trying—but ultimately failing.

This woman shaved her boyfriend's hair, but then realized they didn't notice this pesky patch of hair until after their friend's wedding reception when "everyone had already seen it."

Her boyfriend refers to her misunderstanding of hair color and genetics as a "brain fart," but considering neither of their families has blonde hair, that's not a "brain fart," that's a brain methane explosion.

Remember being an awkward high school student who posted cringe statuses to Facebook? Me neither, because I've blocked them all from memory.

But people still do this 11 years later as adults, so I suppose we've learned nothing, haven't we?
