Adventures on Tinder.

First things first, a small disclaimer. I will not name any names here (so if anyone here is on tinder I wont out you), nor will this turn into a thread to comment about any meetings I have as a result of the app. I am tinder a little like a social experiment and this thread is for documenting that.

I downloaded tinder about a month ago (early November). I'd heard all the hype and figured "what the hell can't hurt right." Worse thing that can happen is no one matches with me. Best case scenario is I meet a new partner or two and end this abysmal dry spell I'm in. Besides I was once told by someone here on fet that I needed to go out on dates and have lots of sex. So maybe this will help ... not holding my breath.

My profile reads as follows:

"I'm new to this. Not sure what I expect to fine here. But I figured I would check it out and see. That said small talk isn't always my strong point and I can be a little on the shy side. So I might be slow to send and opening message.

I'm a nice, laid back guy. I have interests in both monogamy and polyamory (I know I'm a walking contradiction). Channeling my inner Oliver Queen by self teaching at an archery rage. I don't get to do that often. I don't drink, smoke or do drugs."

My profile picture is this one. My second picture is one of me at the MOA's Star Trek exhibit.

I wont list the number of matches I've had or anything that in depth. But here are some of the stand outs from month one:

- I have seen three people I know on there. One of which was someone I had a minor crush on in high school. I may have even matched with one of the three.

- I was approached about a hook up. It didn't and will not happen. I got a<b> vibe </font></b>from the get go that there was something not right about it and it sounds like she would likely be cheating, which I want nothing to do with.

- I have had a few short conversations and a even more people that never returned a message. I'm assuming this is a normal thing.

- There is actually one person in particular that I have been chatting with fairly consistently for a couple weeks now. But due to being stuck living with her ex for a couple more months she doesn't see herself being able to actually meet someone until she moves.

We'll see what happens in the next month. For now I'm going to go make sure I fill my quota of messages there and on OKC for the day.
