'It's just so convenient' is the go-to answer you give to people when they ask why you're using dating apps. Of course, the only people who would have the audacity to ask this question are the couples that have been chained to each other's ankles since middle school and take pride in the fact they are a living example of 'real, true love' (yuck). Behind the scenes nobody really knows what's going on.
Tinder is easy enough to use, and feels like a practical way to get to know people because let's face it — approaching people in real life isn't an option. Not if you're me, anyway.
But then once you're on the stupid app, excitedly swiping away, left and right, back and forth… you find yourself in a different predicament that doesn't involve a deep fear of being laughed at face to face — no, this is a whole other ballgame. It's called 'Choice overload', or in simpler terms, 'FOMO'. When you have so many endless options available, you begin to adopt the 'grass is greener' attitude. Unless you're one of those people that open Netflix and settle immediately on something you want to watch, you know what I mean… the temptation is real.
As for the ghosting, benching, breadcrumbing, yada and bada and gada… FFS, it's exhausting. Tinder promises good things to those who swipe, but it LIES. Anyhow, it's not like I'm gonna stop using it or anything, I'm just here to complain and bring on the good ol' fails other people have kindly shared with the rest of us. I dunno about you, but they sure make me feel better. Scroll down to check out some of the best dating app fails of the week.
