We all have cute photos with bae that we desperately want the world to see. Putting them up on Instagram, or even sharing them on your Stories makes you feel good, because bae makes you feel good. However, despite the mushiness, there is an acceptance threshold to the lovey dovey content you’re posting on social media. You do not want to become the couple who posts five paragraphs praising each other on your three-month anniversary! Trust us, the rest of us are simply rolling our eyes. If you’re looking to upload an aww-worthy pic with bae, make sure the caption is chill rather than an outburst of emotions.
Sure, letting the world know that you love someone is truly an empowering experience but in the right words. Too many, and you come across slightly obsessed; too little and people might be confused if he’s just one of the fellows. Truly, it’s a tricky situation. If your captions are cliched or have been in circulation since 2002, there is a chance that you might go viral but not in the way you’d want.
Here are some captions that you should definitely not post anywhere under your couple photos.
1. I discovered true happiness the moment you walked into my life.
Umm, isn’t that like saying you were never happy on your own?
2. He stole my heart so I decided to take revenge and steal his last name.
Okay, we get that you’re in love. We out here, though, aren’t so much!
3. I just want to be yours.
You really need to reconsider your life’s priorities.
4. I love you with all my butt. I’d say heart but my butt is bigger!
We left this ‘quote’ behind in 2008.
5. Somewhere in between all our laughs, long talks, stupid little fights and our jokes, I fell in love.
If that isn’t the natural trajectory for everyone, we don’t know what is!
6. You are the sun in my day, wind in my sky, the waves in my ocean, and the beat in my heart.
Can you tone down the cheesiness? Even pizza is jealous.
7. It’s amazing how one day someone walks into your life and then the next day you wonder how you lived without them.
Again, Tumblr caption circa 2001.
8. Dear tummy, sorry for the butterflies. It’s not my fault, I swear it’s his!
There should be a trigger warning right before this one.
9. Being in your arms is my happy place. I don’t want to be anywhere else.
Slightly cute but still cliched!
10. When I listen to my heart, it whispers your name.
*Gag*
