Reading this title, you may be wondering why is it weird. I am a heterosexual woman who has her tinder set only for men, that is why this is strange.
It gets weirder.
There is a profile for a cute guy and his bio says that he is not him, but his best friend's girlfriend. She wants to find him a girlfriend and a new friend. I thought that this was darling, so I swipe right and match with her/him.
She messages me and we decide to get coffee, we instantly click (in a friend way). We talk about the boy, her, me, and everything in between. This went well so she invites me to come to her boyfriends house the following weekend for a party.
I show up, meet the boy, and we all have a great time. She neglected to tell me "the story" of how we met. Supposedly, we met in the union in a very rom com style. She complained about a rough day, and I ask her about it. Boom. Instant friends. Although she didn't tell me about it, so I just played along when she was telling the story to the friends that didn't know about the whole Tinder bonanza.
Later on, I think I am not into the boy anymore (he liked my friend and she liked him), so I stopped pursuing, even though I didn't really start. Then, she and I decide to tell the boy how we really met. We sit him down on the couch, and casually tell him that she made him a Tinder and we matched, went to coffee, and the rest is history. He was genuinely upset because apparently he never wanted to make a Tinder. We blew his mind. He got over it eventually.
The entire story is one to make me laugh when I think about it, but I wouldn't trade that Tinder profile for anything in the world. I met some amazing people who I enjoy seeing every week and making memories with. That girl is now one of my best friends and I wouldn't ever want to lose her and her beautiful soul. *cue Jesse McCartney*
