Since Match.com wasn't really working out for me I decided to give Tinder a try, after my friend kept suggesting that I download the app. For those of you who don't know, Tinder is an app that pulls in Facebook profiles from a radius around your location and you basically judge guys on their looks since minimal information about them is provided. You swipe left if they are gross/scary, and your swipe right if they are good looking enough to possibly talk to. Tinder then notifies you if you match with a guy you swiped right on. After you're matched you have the opportunity to text within the app. I went out with 2 guys from Tinder, fortunately neither were serial killers.
The first guy lived a few blocks down from me and we had 3 dates until I cut him off. The first 2 dates he seemed nice and relatively normal, meaning no red flags went up. On our 3rd date he said some shit that caught my attention. We were at a local bar watching a soccer match and eating/drinking. We got on the topic of relationships and he mentioned he hadn't had a girlfriend in 3 years by choice. I thought that was odd, then he said that he dated a lot of girls but then would only like "the chase" and got bored after. Oh the dreaded "chase." Apparently all guys like this "chase," and once you show the slightest bit of interest they magically lose interest.
That comment really bothered me because so many guys I've dated in the last year seemed to have the same affliction. They like the chase and then they move on. So I decided I was done with him so I stopped talking to me. A few days later he asked me if there was a deal breaker, so I was honest and said I was looking for a guy who wants something serious and isn't just into the thrill of the chase. He tried to say that he was being sarcastic and he was looking for something serious now, but I didn't believe him and that was that.
Bachelor #26 was also from Tinder and I was convinced he was my soul mate because our personalities totally clicked. Our first date was on the 4th of July and we had sushi. He was so sassy and funny and talkative. We really clicked immediately. We hung out all night, watched fireworks from his house, talked all night... it was a perfect evening.
We had one more date after that, which also was great. After that he totally flaked out on me like a dickhead. I was really surprised to be honest, but then again I am very naïve and blind most of the time. He was supposed to come over for dinner one night and they morning of he sent a lame text saying that he had to help his friend out with some "crap" after work. By "crap" he probably meant he had some chick to bang after work. Who knows.
Promptly after that I deleted my Tinder app and vowed never to use it again.
