By now Bumble and Tinder have rightfully claimed a spot in Millennials social lives. But seriously, if you’re single and between the ages of 19 and 30 and you don’t have a dating app, "wyd"? Regardless of your intentions, I think we can all agree these apps are a source of entertainment. People can throw out some borderline raunchy and debatable pick-up lines on Tinder, but what do they really mean? I’m here to help.

1. "Hi"

The most classic form of social interaction, this potential suitor wants to keeps it short and simple.

2. "Hey b"

Now here, the person tries to go one step further than “hi” and addresses you as ‘b’ which can be short for “babe”, “bae”, or even “baby”. That’s nice, I guess.

3. The gif-ter

Gifs can vary on meaning, but they can be applied to literally any situation, so it’s no surprise your lover wants to put minimal effort into looking up a pickup line online.

4. The artist

Like a gifs, emojis are always used and vary on meaning. The guy will express his feelings through creating an artistic composition of little pictures to create something greater than himself to impress you *insert eggplant emoji here*.

5. Captain Obvious

Yeah… tell me something I don’t know. This person is trying to get on the same level as you and expects a “you’re really cute too!” back. But hey, he knows how to use "you're" correctly.

6. First, comes Tinder, then comes... marriage?

Jumping to conclusions, eh?

7. The f*ckboy

“DTF”, short for, “down to f*ck”, is a common slang term used for exactly what it means. At least they know what they want?

8. The dog

Okay, so this person is smart. Such a gifted individual deserves your attention. Or honestly just meet them to meet the dog.

9. Your interests

Wow, this person is into you already. So interested that they read through all of the embarrassing Facebook interests you don’t know how to remove from your profile.

10. What's so funny?

I don’t really know why it’s funny, but this guy does (whatever, he thinks you're pretty).

11. "So where have you done 'it'?"

The dude is trying to test how adventurous you are. He probably has a sex checklist and I guarantee the 'Mile High Club' is checked off.

12. The borderline cannibal

This person exhibits a cannibalistic mentality, I’d pursue with caution.

13. The storyteller

This guy probably has this lil’ story typed up, saved, and ready to copy and paste it to anyone he messages, so don’t feel special. Can we just talk about how the heck he came up with that story? 8.5/10 for creativity.

14. "Girl what's yo numba?"

First of all, why is my phone number your password? Do I know you? I guess this is clever, but who texts nowadays? Geez ask for my Snapchat or add me on LinkedIn, either is better than this.

15. Santa Claus

This pickup line is not seasonal or Santa approved. Does he really think Santa is going to get him what he wants for Christmas if he asks for nudes? Yeah I don’t think so, see ya on the naughty list.

16. The skier/snowboarder

This applies if you have anything ski/snowboard related on your profile… and yeah it’s a deal breaker. Haha, he thought.

17. The zipper with a mind of its own

A classic line, this dude definitely found this on some Instagram pickup line account. But you should be more concerned he doesn’t own a normal pair of pants.

What's the success rate of Tinder or Bumble matches? Yeah right, like I would know. But hey, your Tinder/f/ella or Bumblebae (is that what you call them?) is one right swipe away. Get out there, socialize, and be the millennial you were born to be.
