So I recently downloaded the Tinder app on my phone as a joke, and my friend and I were creeping it up big time. Here is what we learned from our experience on the new dating/matchup app:
Desperate Dave
This guy seems normal at first, maybe even pretty generic and cute. But as the convo goes on, he gets especially clingy. When you don’t message back within 5 seconds, he sends follow-up messages of “hey”, “where’d ya go?”, “??”, “DON’T LEAVE ME”.
NEXT PLEASE.
Comical Corey
Corey is pretty funny, or so he thinks. He overuses LOL to the max, has at least two smiley faces for every 5 messages, and his opening line consists of something along the lines of “I won’t tell our kids how we met if you won’t…”. These guys think they are hysterical, when in reality they are usually just not attractive enough to attract anyone’s attention otherwise.
No thanks.
Already-Know-You-Adam
Adam is the guy that you have 20-some odd friends in common with, and of course you accidentally “like” him. He will then proceed to tell you how he knows pretty much everything about you, or you both will just awkwardly ignore each other. Or you find your friend’s boyfriend, and then it gets awkward.
Hard-To-Get-Harry
Harry. Harry Harry Harry.
This dude is the most elusive of the bunch. You guys are a match, you message him, and he takes two to three days to reply back. Pretty much nine times out of ten he has a girlfriend who is unaware of his existence in the Tinder universe, and is looking for an ego boost by seeing how many girls will match him based on his party pictures.
Grammatically Incorrect Greg
This is one of my personal pet peeves - people who don’t understand how to use spellcheck or don't know their grammar. Their, there, they’re are all used interchangeably, too and to - wait, there’s a difference? Please go back to middle school and figure your stuff out, because I can’t deal with you right now. I actually once had a guy who was messaging me an actual lovely conversation about our weekend, who said “2Mar” instead of saying “tomorrow”.
Please. Just... Don’t.
I give up.

What a great post, Anna. I laugh out loud at your posts and can't agree enough with Grammatically Incorrect Gary. Oofta.
