So, I have this girl friend of mine who was in a relationship for around 6–7 years who recently went through a messy and tumultuous break up. Plates were thrown. Best friends were kissed. There was a big fight over the Ikea sofa. The usual dreadful stuff.
Tinder is full of a lottttt of people who know the app for what it is – a hook up app
It got pretty bad and I was definitely right in the middle for a while. Luckily, I went overseas and got a little break from the ‘she’s doing/he’s doing‘ stories which was a life saver. Now, 6 months later, they’ve both moved on and basically, they’re all good.
I’m back in the country and my hot-as-anything friend, let’s call her Gloria, is now back on the dating scene and ready to rumble. Do I dare say tumble? First week that I was back she told me story after story of tinder matches, dates, 2nd dates etc.
But then… week 2 came around, we were drinking cheap bubbly ‚cause I came back to London from overseas with ?20 and she told me she’s off the apps.
“Because every second person on tinder is a creep or stupid or boring. Sick of nothing hook-ups.” Gloria informs me not so gloriously.
The last time Gloria dated was pre-iPhone 5 let alone pre-tinder. Poor thing needed some help, so I did my research and came up with a few solutions:
- F*** apps, get retro and find your old Nokia 3315 hit da clubs n bars in East London like in sex in the city. Maybe get a pager? I’ll be your Carrie Bradshaw beb.
2. Single life ain’t so bad. No partner, no mortgage and no kids = trips to Italy for Italian gigolos and pasta.
She seemed like she was committed to the dating app world and was not holding back (you go girl)
3. Tinder is about as saturated a market as the London pub scene. Maybe try something a lil different? happn has very many honeys on it. Celý příspěvek
