When She Finally Gets a Boyfriend

Text on the meme

“Sir the girl you made eye contact with 3 years ago found a boyfriend”

What it means

A suited middle-aged man sits at an event as someone tells him that the girl he made eye contact with three years ago has found a boyfriend. His expression slowly tightens into stunned, devastated disbelief, turning an insignificant old interaction into an absurd romantic tragedy. Pixies’ “Where Is My Mind?” plays underneath, adding dreamy melancholy and making the overreaction feel dramatically profound. It is used as a reaction to discovering that a long-shot romantic hope is finally impossible.
