Why Tinder Is Like A Boyfriend

The on-and-off relationship with Tinder.

In the 21st century we are all guilty of online dating—I have also tried it. I am not really into the online websites as much as the applications such as Tinder, since it just seems easier to swipe left for the people that are not so attractive and right for the ones that spark your interest a bit.

However, I feel as if me and Tinder are in more of a relationship than the guys I have met on the application itself. I will get the app and have it for a couple weeks, find a cute guy or a couple cute guys, talk to them, meet up and it never goes anywhere. Then I delete Tinder because I feel like it is not working, but then I get a bored a couple weeks later and download Tinder again. The cycle just keeps repeating over and over again.

Therefore, Tinder is more like a "boyfriend" than the ones it you actually helps you to find on the app itself. I feel as if me and Tinder have an on-and-off relationship that will never end because I will always have a phone or it will end when I have that real life boyfriend and Tinder is no longer needed. I even tell my friends about this and they go through the same situation.

I am not saying that the guys you meet while on Tinder can not one day be your boyfriend because I have seen amazing relationships come out of Tinder, but I am saying that the deleted and re-downloading of Tinder is like the breakup and makeup of a boyfriend. I hope I am not the only one feeling as if Tinder is my boyfriend.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
