I went on a few dates with a chick I met on Tinder. It seemed like everything was going well but I often thought about that underlying social stigma that is attached to online dating. Obviously it is going to be dependent on the person, but I reckon we both weren't keen to start an official relationship because of people asking how we met. Anyway it has now ended (probably for the best as she was probably looking for something more serious), but I think it's interesting how some people have successfully used Tinder to meet people and don't care about using it, while others are more hesitant due to that 'stigma'.

Got a tinder bird coming around this weekend. Dont know how to feel really. Says she just wants to hang out and smoke a little green but all we know whats going down. Im feeling anxious, happy, a little nervous and a little scared. I dont know if she is a cop, if this is real, a dream, the beginning of the end of my life. :p

Wouldn't say it's desperate, it's just another avenue for people to meet. Would you say meeting people from Bigfooty is a desperate way to make friends?

In some cases, yes

But dating is different from friends

Most dating sites these days are just hook up sites but if you're actually after a relationship you probably are similar to this guy

If I met a girlfriend on Tinder or a dating site I wouldn't want people knowing where we met. Sounds pathetic when people go online looking for a gf/bf. So ruddy desperate

However if I was only looking for root then I would be happy tell people we met on Tinder etc etc

The day you stop worrying about what people think about you and your life is the day your life will start.
 
After having tinder for a week and not really taking any of the convos too seriously I had my first tinder date experience today.

I was more nervous than I usually was for a date, I just felt like a bit of a liar if I didn't look as good as the pictures and was really unsure of what was standard "tinder date conversation" but I decided I'd go along with whatever. Our texts had been kind of vague so I wasn't sure if she would be sussing out my personal life and my potential boyfriend marital or whether I'd be getting asked about my favourite sex positions. It didn't take long to realise she was after the former.

I was happy enough with how she looked, she'd certainly picked her best photos but that's hardly a crime. I kept the conversation bubbling along pretty well like a regular date but little things kept annoying me. She seemed to have really poor listening skills. I'd tell her something about me and then she'd ask a follow up question but she'd misquote me or mix up simple things. I just found it hard to get any sort of rhythm going. We'd talk about sport, and then we'd talk about family, then music, it never really had any reference points any of it.

By the end of it she seemed nice enough but it was pretty clear neither of us were really interested and I was fine with that. Then on the way to the train stop she asked me if I'd been on many tinder dates, up until this point neither of us had brought up tinder. I answered her honestly and said I'd only got it last week and this was the first meet up from it. Then we talked about something else.

On the train together the conversation had died so I asked "you never told me, how many tinder dates have you been on?" she hushly mumbled "one". I asked her if she'd been on tinder long and then she quietly but sternly said "I don't want to talk about it on the train." That was the nail in the coffin for me. If you're that immature and insecure of yourself that you care what random people you will never meet again on a train thinks of you then GTFO.

I doubt I'll be hearing from her again but it was still a fun day out and an interesting experience. It certainly appears alot harder to have that great organic conversation flow that you can get from a regular date with someone you've met in person before. I think I'll stick at it for a bit longer and see what else comes up.

your mistake as not setting the agenda. first line should have been "im gonna **** you like a pr0n star. lets go back to my place. Next time, lead with that.

I don't really see much difference between picking up a bird at a club or online.

In some cases? What cases would they be?

Are you afraid to use online dating because you might match up with Meghan Trainor?
 
I'll put my hand up to trying an internet dating website. (a while ago but anyway- not in the young crowd to use tinder, would have NFI about that...)... it was pretty horrendous. Some guys would even message you up to 3 times and still not get the hint. It was all quite awkward, don't think I'll be trying that ever again soon.

Well maybe you should take a hint yourself and block them so they don't pester you with messages. This is what annoys me about tinder...when people don't respond and just ignore you when not interested. Why not just unmatch?

Because when they unmatch that is one less match to show their friends.

Yay and nay. It's not pathetic if you end up getting a girl into bed. I'm not really into it and if a girl knocks me back I'll just move on and back myself to find another. But I've seen and hung out with guys who are just relentless with a girl on a night out. Sometimes it works.

Persistence is my charm

As long as you don't lose your dignity and become a lil bitch during that time you can keep going for it. But when it comes to messaging someone you've never met or even someone who you've met only a couple of times, you only come off as a lil bitch by keeping persisting when she's clearly not keen
