I'm not saying there aren't any funny, smart, interesting boys just waiting in the depths of the world of Tinder, but after messages from dozens and dozens of boys who all seem to say the same things, you start to recognize patterns. They're not all bad either, but some of them are downright intolerable. Just for the record, Tinder boys: there is no excuse for drastic grammar or spelling errors when you can literally take as long as you please to proofread before you hit send. There is no faster way to end a conversation than proving you never learned the difference between "their," "they're" and "there" in school.
1. The Unoriginal Complimenter
Opening one message after another after another of "your cute" gets old fast. (P.S. It's "you're" not "your.")
2. The "Add Me on Snapchat" Guy
You already told me your Snapchat. Three times. And I still haven't added you, so please stop saying it. I don't want to have to look good to talk to you all the time.3. The Guy Who Answers After Several Days
When you actually bother to message someone first but then they don't answer, it's kind of a bummer. It's more of a bummer when they answer finally, but it's like three days later, and it doesn't matter so much anymore.
4. The Bad Conversationalist
Oh no ... your bio was so funny. I had so much hope for you. What happened?
5. The One Who Always Wants to Meet Up
You aren't particularly interested, but don't worry: he will still be patiently waiting for you to agree to go out for coffee, or lunch, or dinner, or to a movie...6. The Conceited and Proud Guy
He sure thinks a lot of himself, and he wants you to know it.
7. The "I'm here to make friends" Guy
His bio is probably something along the lines of "I'm here to make friends, but I'm really up for anything..."
8. The Conversation Killer
Probably responds with a lot of "lol"s or "yeah"s. If I'm boring you that much, just stop answering.
9. The Paragraph Writer
Honestly, this is one of the best types of boys out there. If you can come up with that much to say just to start the conversation, you're probably going to be pretty interesting.
10. The "you're the only real girl on here" Guy
He really wants you to think you're special and his one and only, but can we stop pretending we're not on an app specifically designed to talk to as many people nearby as possible?
11. The Clever One
He always has the best comebacks and will probably make you feel undeserving. You knew he'd be too witty for you when you first read his bio, but you still swiped right out of hope. Now you can only hope to try to hold up your end of the conversation.
