18 ‘New Year’s Kiss’ memes that sum up romantic expectations hilariously

Everyone wants a New Year's kiss... unless you just don't function that way. Well, virtually everyone. For those who have partners, no need to rub it in everyone's faces. For those who don't, cheer up lads, maybe next year?

Either way, it feels good to be loved and wanted, and what better way to do that than to begin your new year on the right note with someone you love by your side? Though... these things don't ALWAYS go right... right?

In this list, we're taking a look at some of the funniest memes we've found online, proving to you that perhaps romantic expectations are not always the best idea.
