10 Sure Ways To Know If You're Addicted To Online Dating

Online dating is becoming more and more popular -- with every age group. So as we all walk around with our heads buried in our smartphones, keep yourself in check. Here are 10 ways you know you're addicted to your online dating apps.

1. For starters, if you have more than one online dating app on your phone.

If this is you, please, please, PLEASE, just stick to one. Really. It just gets all too confusing. Loyalty, anyone?

2. Furthermore, if you have more than one online dating app on your phone AND you're matching with THE SAME PEOPLE ON ALL OF THEM...

Then it's a sign that you're just trying way too hard, and you're giving that really creepy old guy more than one opportunity to stalk your profile photos.

3. If you have a ringtone set for the notifications of said dating apps...

So you'll know the difference between a new message from a cutie and your mom texting you to remind you to pay your speeding ticket.

4. If your profile photo is one that you've edited and/or filtered the sh*t out of.

It's not really you... and he's not going to recognize you when he meets you for coffee... and that's just embarrassing.

5. If you've found yourself becoming too picky... or not picky enough, for that matter.

Are you even yourself anymore?

6. If you're frequently checking with your roommate to see if "they've matched with so-and-so, too?"

Uninstall it right now. And tell your roommate to do the same.

7. If he's Snapchatting you AND YOUR ROOMMATE AT THE SAME TIME.

Um, goodbye. Unmatch that fella right now, and run very far away. You've become so addicted, you don't even care that you've gone full circle. Quit it.

8. If the past three relationships you've been in have started from an online dating website or app,

you need to get out more. There are actual real people waiting to take you on a date. Get your head out of your hind quarters.

9. If your Saturdays consist of swiping left or right based on instant attraction to a more than likely filtered photo of a person that doesn't even live in your state...

You've gone off the deep end, my friend. You're going to need an intervention.

10. If you don't want to go out on a date unless you can get the run-down of the guy's likes and dislikes, at least four photos, and the approximate mileage he is away from you...

I don't really have any advice for you. You're an addict. And the first step is admitting you have a problem.

That's it for now, folks.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
