Dear Bachelor,

So I downloaded this dating app called “Bumble.”I downloaded it one afternoon after my roommates would not shut up about it. and the first thing I noticed was that it’s addicting. That’s because you’re swiping either way so fast that you don’t even have time to think. But that’s the beauty of it all — no overthinking.

On Bumble, both men and women can swipe. However, only women can make the first move. The best part is, they only have 24 hours from the moment they match to start the conversation before the connection disappears forever. To the men out there who AREN’T on Bumble yet, y’all are missing the boat. What are you doing? Let me break this down for you guys in a way you’ll understand.

There’s no pressure.

Which is why it’s so great for guys. You seriously don’t have to do much. It’s easy! You just create an account you can even do it through Facebook, and then right there in front of you is hundreds of pretty girls who are eager to meet you.

Women are comfortable.

When women are comfortable during dating, you can be comfortable. The opportunity for women to be the deciding factor on the first move makes it a lot more natural for us in the conversation. We don’t feel like a creepy guy is hitting on us when we start the conversation. And this way when we initiate, you know we’re interested.

Other guys are doing it.

It’s not “weird” to sign up for Bumble. There’s certainly stigma associated with dating apps. That is non-existent on Bumble! My first 20 minutes on Bumble I found four UGA football players-- call me ;), a few guys I already knew and hundreds of people I was excited to meet.

It’s not just for “hookups.”

Any dating app that promotes hook-ups is definitely not somewhere I or most girls would consider meeting my future husband. Bumble is different. Why wouldn’t you download an app with the hottest of the hottest girls who are all interested in possibility of meeting someone you can make an actual connection with?

You don’t have to sit and wait.

There is no sitting and waiting thinking about whether or not she’s going to make a move. There’s a notification for everything! It makes the process more efficient because you don’t forget to accidentally reply to your connection.

The opportunities are endless! The prettiest girls from across the globe are waiting to connect, all you have to do is swipe.

So instead of rolling your eyes this holiday season, ranting about the folly of #relationshipgoals and “cuffing season” you will be able to tell your great-aunt that you finally found a nice girl. Good luck, and may the odds be ever in your favor.

Bumble is a female empowering dating, friend finding, and networking app that takes the pressure off of guys and puts the women in charge.
