Tinder Lessons

After being in Tinder for over a month now, I met someone in person for the first time last night.

Here's a rundown of how it went.

We just became a match Sunday evening, and we started corresponding then. We seemed to have gotten along well enough, since we had things in common. He was only in town for the week so we decided to meet up before he leaves. So we met up last night. He isn't the one (not because I'm THAT picky, but I'd rather not go on detail why I know he isn't it.). I know I may have earned a new friend though.

Here are few things I learned from my first Tinder eyeball (is that what you would call it?):
1. Obvious thing is to tell a friend or two the name of the person you're meeting, where and what time you're meeting. Always be careful. I didn't have problems with that though since I instinctively knew the guy was legit. (You'll know by the way you chat)
2. As soon as you THINK you've hit it off with someone, schedule a meet-up ASAP. Why? Because if you prolong chatting with him via Tinder or Whatsapp, you build an image of him in your head that's not how he actually is in person.
3. Some people have other reasons to join tinder -- I see a number of people who are obviously married and have kids and still join it; some just want a good time. But I'm sure majority are still in it mainly to find potential partners. Hey, if you meet-up and he isn't the one, there's nothing wrong with making new friends :)
