I found my boyfriend on Tinder, and we've been together for three years ish by now.
Before I met him though, I used Tinder quite a lot. At first I just used it to see if there was any potential anywhere, and later on I started using it more seriously. When I switched strategy it went more smoothly, and my rule was only 3 matches every day, 24 hours to get a conversation going or unmatch and a week to set a date up.
The first date I had through Tinder was so-so. The guy was really nice, though a bit to the shorter side and I honestly liked him a lot. He was also studying law, like I was going to, so it seemed like a good match for something serious. We slept together, where he ended up having to go in the middle of everything because his sister was raining calls down on his phone, because their mother had just gotten into intensive care at the hospital. So it ended quite abruptly. When we tried to see each other again he kept cancelling last moment, and he actually ghosted me once when I was going to see him, so I broke it off, where he said I was a dramatic bitch, so ye.
I also have had a friend with benefits I met through Tinder. His profile text was literally "Have some fun with me and you'll find your soul mate afterwards." which was a weird pick up line, but it worked. 15/10 best hook ups ever. He was also really nice. I hope he is doing well.
I then matched with a guy, who seemed nice at first. The date went okay, but I knew it wasn't something that would last, because he was very traditional (admitted to his parents don't liking each other and considering divorce, so he bought them a dog to keep them together) and he made spaces between his words and punctuation. He didn't like that I didn't talk about myself enough on our date, and said I wasn't "open enough" bad therefore he didn't want to see me again, which was fair. He wrote three months later asking for a second chance.
I then matched with my now boyfriend. We had a fairly normal date and went to see stand-up and when he laughed the first time I just knew it would be the biggest regret of my life if we didn't kiss that night. we have lived together For 3 years now and been together for 3,5 years. I sometimes think about the guy who said I would meet my soulmate after seeing him, and I hate that he was right.
