1. Taking photos for my Tinder profile.

I always get stressed out when it comes to taking photos. Throw in the fact that people rate my attractiveness based on these pictures. It only leads to chaos. If I want to take a really good photo, I'll take an average of two hours just to look good. Then it takes another 30 minutes to find someone who is willing to help me take the photos. In the end, this plus taking the photos takes about three hours. In the end, I usually end up with zero photos that I actually like.

2. Showing my friends someone you matched with.

Every time I tell my friends that I started talking to a guy, they always ask for a photo. And usually, after a few glances, my friends will either approve or hate the guy for the rest of their life. There are even times where my friends will be on my phone checking out the guys who would be a perfect match for me. Usually, we all make a unanimous decision on who I should swipe for. This is a fun way to spend times with my friends.

3. Going on Tinder whenever I'm bored.

I always had the horrible habit of going onto Tinder whenever I was bored and didn't know what to do. This always lead to me mindlessly swiping through people, not fully paying attention to who I was swiping for. My mindless swiping lead me to some very interesting/unwanted conversations with guys I was never interested in the first place. One of many reasons for why I stopped using the app.

4. Getting excited whenever you have a lot in common with a guy.

I'm terrible at carrying out a conversation. I never know what to say. I always feel very awkward, especially when I'm talking to someone brand new. But if I find out that that person and I have something in common, the conversation gets more interesting. I get more comfortable if someone expresses interests in something I also enjoy. It makes having a conversation easier.

5. Talking to someone who is too forward.

This always happened to me. There would always be a guy who seemed nice. We would talk for a day or two. All of a sudden, I would get a message from them saying, "So. Want to hook up?" I automatically get annoyed and tell them that that's not what I'm looking for at the moment. This usually leads to the end of the conversation and me feeling extremely confused.

6. It's a new person every week.

Once you stop talking to one person, another one starts showing interest. And although it may be fun at first, it gets pretty boring. After a while, you just hope someone just stays a little while longer. Not saying that someone shouldn't enjoy talking to different people. I personally want someone who willing to be apart of my life and not randomly stop talking to me.

Bruce Springsteen's Top 7 Lyrics

Everything Bruce says in his classic rock songs.

bruce springsteen album cover born in the usa

Anyone who was born and raised in New Jersey (or anywhere really) knows of Bruce Springsteen, whether or not they like him is a whole other situation. I hope that his hundreds of classic rock songs and famous high energy performances, even in his sixties he can put on better concerts than people half his age, are at least recognizable to people of all ages. Love him or hate him (I identify with the former) you have to admit that some of his songs and interviews have inspirational quotes and lyrics.
