The 5 Guys You Meet on Tinder

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at JMU chapter.

We’ve all been there, and if you haven’t been there yet I promise you will be. Here are the five guys every girl meets on Tinder.

1. The one with the most ridiculous pick-up lines

Having unique first-liners on Tinder is an art form. I seriously think some of the guys I talked to when I used Tinder should have put that skill on their resume.  A simple “Hey :)” likely woudn’t have earned you a response from me, and if I had to hear, “So does this mean we’re dating now?” one more time I probably would have thrown my phone against the wall. Seriously, where do some of you even get these lines from? Take note: first impressions are important. Don’t try too hard, don’t steal other people’s lines, and please, do NOT be creepy. 

 

2. The one who has already picked out your wedding date

Look bruh, we just met and chances are we’ll never actually meet in real life. I’m not going to give you my ring size and tell you my mother’s middle name. Please leave me alone.

 

3. The one you know in real life

Uh…wait a second…don’t you sit next to me in Spanish? Didn’t I hook up with your roommate? No, now I remember! You tutored me in Chemistry. I think? Now that we’ve matched with each other, do I message you? Or did you just right swipe me because you felt obligated to? Gah, this is weird.

 

4. The one just trying to get some

 

 

Forget introductions, this guy is making his intentions clear from the start. Didn’t you read my bio, sir? It clearly states I am not looking to hook up. Gosh! 

 

5. The normal one! 

 

 

Can it be? He didn’t give you some creepy or generic introduction, you have similar interests, and he invited you to get coffee in a public, safe place! Wow, this guy seems like he has genuinely good intentions which makes him pretty hot in the Tinder world. It might not turn into anything, but hey, at least you’re getting a free cold brew out of it. Those aren’t cheap.
