Why are girls on TikTok asking their boyfriend âwould you still love me if I was a wormâ?
What if we kissed in the compost heap đł
Girlfriends love to incessantly ask their boyfriends the most bizarre questions. Fact.
Itâs like there is always a burning question that has to be asked, whether itâs at one in the morning when all he wants to do is sleep, or on a long drive. Thereâs a buildup, and then it ends up being something like âif you had a pet unicorn, what would you name it?â. Of all of the stupid questions that girls across the world ask their boyfriends, one seems to be particularly prevalent currently on social media â âwould you still date me if I was a worm?â
There is so much to unpack here. Why has this become a trend? What the fuck does this even mean? This is the understandable reaction of many, but where exactly did this trend start? Why are girls asking their boyfriends this question? Why a worm?
Where did the âwould you date me if I was a wormâ trend start?
This whole weird trend seems to have evolved from the general joke of girls asking ridiculous questions to their boyfriends, which has seemingly been about since dinosaurs roamed the earth (2019, to be precise). The first example came from Twitter user @niall_gee, who got into an argument with his girlfriend when he said he wouldnât be with her if she didnât have skin. Sounds totally fair enough to me:
Imagine having a girlfriend without skin? No thanks â fully on your side with this one Niall mate. From the weird skin tweet must have come the worm question, which is most notably tweeted here:
In a more broad sense, it then went to @kohlgrrl in 2019, who likened this montage of clips from ### as her pestering her boyfriend in the early hours of the morning. Perhaps inspired by the aforementioned two questions:
Either way, this trend has morphed into its final form on TikTok, where youâve most likely seen it. Theyâre all uploaded with the hashtag #ifiwasaworm, where there are some amazing reactions from the boyfriends being asked. Some boys try and play along, whilst others respond in the most unimpressed way. Hereâs some of the best:
This isnât the first time that girls have been totally epicly troll-memed by gamers on TikTok. The song âHeart on Iceâ by Rod Wave has become an extension of the worm question, becoming practically synonymous with behaving in a silly and over the top way, both in a couple and on your own. Brilliant stuff:
