40 NBA Memes To Perfectly Describe How Your Boyfriend Feels About You

Ahh, good ol' memes, the bread and butter of the Internet.

You know, even though memes are just pictures with captions on them, they can actually exist in any form of media.

Just ask Wikipedia, which as we know, is the most reliable source for anything.

Anyway, when it comes to producing the best memes, no sport tops the NBA.

There's a basketball meme to describe practically every feeling you ever have, even during your relationship.

And for the ladies who want to know how their relationship with "bae" feels from his perspective, worry not. Elite Daily's got you.

Here are 40 NBA memes that perfectly describe every stage of your relationship:

When you guys first make eye contact, but he's trying to act like nothing happened:

When he's clearly asking "get to know you" types of questions but feels the need to disguise it as just being friendly:

When he takes you out for the two for $20 at Applebee's, basically because he's not sure you're worth the money yet, and the bill still comes out higher than he expected:

When you tell him, "we need to talk," for the first time and it's out of nowhere:

When it's finally time to talk, but you tell him, "it's fine," which obviously means it's not fine, so he's stuck trying to figure out why it's not fine:
