forever alone
What does forever alone mean?
The early-2010s meme persona of the perpetually single, perpetually rejected guy. Used self-deprecatingly when something romantic falls apart, when you spend Valentine's by yourself, or when you third-wheel hard. Equal parts joke and cope.
"Got ghosted again after one date — forever alone it is."
Origin
A 2010 rage-comic face — a crying, smiling man — that exploded across Reddit and 4chan and became shorthand for romantic loneliness. Spawned r/ForeverAlone, which kept the persona going long after rage comics died.
