Are you single and struggling with a date? Do not go on Tinder. I repeat, do not go on Tinder.
Tinder Nightmare is a real thing. In this article, we are going to get into the horrific dates that my friends and I have encountered.
1. Butt pictures = a big fat NO!
I was talking to someone I met previously off of Tinder for quite some time. After a few weeks of going back and forth with messaging, we finally agreed to FaceTime. We can call him Eric.
Eric and I were FaceTiming for a few weeks well after meeting on Tinder, and he asked if I would want to go on a date when he gets back. Of course, I agreed because a man in uniform, you know?
Flash forward to the next week, and it's 6 A.M. in New Jersey and 8 P.M. his time. He starts trying to talk dirty over the phone and started asking if I liked guys with big butts. Then, I proceeded to say, "What?"
All of a sudden, he was sending me a picture looking back at it, if you know what I mean. I was not attracted at all, and let's just say that was the end of that potential relationship.
2. Choose your dates wisely.
My good friend, Penny, went on a Tinder date to the movie theater with a boy she had matched with earlier in the week. He had his mother drop him off at the movie theater, which so happened to have reclining seats. We will call the guy Dan.
Dan decided he wanted to recline the seat back enough to where Penny would fall into a slump on him, and he would try and pull a move at that moment. That was the first rejection of the night.
The second rejection of the night was when he wanted her to pull over to the side of the road so he can sleep with her. She kicked him out of the car and never heard from him again.
Do not make a girl feel that uncomfortable on the first date.
3. Do not use Tinder while in a relationship!
I see people I went to college and high school with on Tinder all the time. It's very disrespectful and you're bound to get caught.
4. You may find your siblings on there...
I found both of my brothers in my swipes. Talk about awkward.
5. Vaping on the first date = nope.
My hairdresser went on a date a few months ago with a very nice younger guy. He got them kicked out of the movie within 20 minutes because he wanted to blow cotton candy Os all over the theater.
And these are just only five examples of why you should avoid Tinder altogether... completely!
