Here's the only good use for 'alexa play despacito' in a Tinder message

We feel for you, Alexas of the world.

Though women named Alexa the world over are likely over the Amazon Alexa jokes, one Tinder user still managed to squeeze one in during a DM conversation.

Reddit user u/weedlewarrior69 shared a conversation with a recent Tinder match named Alexa, in which they decided to take a shot at a classic Amazon joke--a fairly common occurrence these days.

U/weedlewarrior69 asked Alexa how likely it was that she would "unmatch" in response to a joke about Amazon's AI assistant, to which she replied: "Very likely." This prompted the response: "this is so sad alexa play despacito"--a reference to one of the best memes of the year thus far.

Alas, it's probably safe to say that this Tinder match didn't lead to a meeting IRL, but at least the people of Reddit are amused.

We feel for you, Alexas of the world. We really do.
