Why I'm Tired of Dating Apps

Online dating apps like Tinder and Hinge are sort of exhilarating at first. There's a sort of thrill finding out if someone is interested/attracted to you, especially because you don't have to deal with the possible humiliating rejection that could come with it. Plus, these types of apps open you up to meeting so many more people than you would've been able to before. Distance doesn't mean a thing when you get connected online.

After a while, though, the dating apps get old. Truth be told, I'm tired of dating apps and here's why:

  1. I'm tired of guys with a fetish

People have types or certain features on a person that makes them more attractive, but my ethnic background should not be a factor. I can't count off the number of guys who message me creepy and weird messages that pertain to my race. Some straight-up tell me they have a thing for Asian girls or they make a racially charged sexual comment towards me. If you couldn't tell, these are not the kind of guys I want to attract.

  1. I'm tired of messages that don't go anywhere

I admit I ghost people and get ghosted. In my defense, it's tiresome having the same conversation with different people. And constantly messaging isn't really my thing. I'd rather have an in-person conversation because you get to know a person so much faster and more in-depth. I enjoy getting to know a person and learning about them but maybe not like 20 at the same time.

  1. I'm tired of the silent game

I'm sure we all have a bunch of matches but we don't talk to them. Maybe you're both waiting for the other to make the first move which can lead to nothing. Other times you match just to match with them and don't plan on doing anything afterward. People like to do that for the gratification of knowing someone found you attractive. But truth be told I'm tired of having these matches and not doing anything about it. Sure I could take initiative and talk to them but it all goes back to having to talk with too many people.

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.

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.

1. The Legacy.

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.
