I did it.
I succumbed to the peer pressure and opened a tinder account.
I'm sure you are asking,
Why??????
Good question.
And though this may seem hypocritical considering my earlier post, the truth is I was curious. Having never used any online dating tools, I wanted to give it a shot.
And I must say, I was met with great success, achieving countless "matches" and developing a strange addiction to the app. There is a guilty delight in knowing that numerous attractive men also find you attractive.
And so my tinder adventure began.
After the first couple "matches," I was hooked. I began tindering all the time. As soon as I woke up in the morning, I would fire up the tinder app and start browsing. I would tinder before work. I would, discreetly, tinder at work. Out to lunch with friends? Tinder under the table. Time for bed? What's one more hour of tindering going to hurt? I was completely consumed.
And I was matching left and right!
(OMG I am soooooo popular!!!)
And then the messages started to trickle into my inbox. Sometimes a simple greeting and other times a clever line or reference to my profile. Charming, intelligent men hoping to strike up a conversation and find some kind of connection with....
ME
This was followed by dinner invites, salacious requests, drink dates, vulgar offers, creative date ideas...
I was swimming in possibilities. My ego was growing by the second.
I developed a strict screening process before accepting any date offers. I must have an intelligent (this includes spelling and correct grammar usage), non-sexual conversation via tinder messaging or text before I would even consider meeting in person.
And so the dating began.
I was going on multiple dates per week. And continuing to add more matches to my list. And continuing to chat with all the men who messaged me. It became a game. An extremely exhausting and exhilarating game.
Every bit of my time was occupied with some form of tinder.
Until I met Mr. Tinder. The game changer.
And now...
