Though some may say a picture is worth 1000 words, IMHO, a caption is worth 1000 likes. Whether you pump yourself up or make a totally witty joke, these 31 Instagram captions about dating are so good that they'll have you asking yourself out to dinner.

There's no way around it: Being single rocks. You get to go wherever you want, meet all sorts of cool people, and explore new parts of your personality you never knew existed. Maybe you planned on being single for a while, or your "party of one" status came as a surprise (read: rebranding getting "dumped"). Regardless, playing the field and dating around can be a super fun way to connect with the people around you.

Of course, if you don't want your ex lurking on your stunning selfies or you could live your whole life without seeing blurry skyline photography from that person you made out with once Sophomore year, that's OK. You never need to feel bad about blocking or unfollowing. No matter your romantic status, Instagram is your place to post and to see whatever you want.

And if you're looking for the perfect way to encapsulate your dating adventures, here are 31 captions.
