How To Tell If People Are On A Tinder Date

You meet someone at a bar or in class. You two spark interest in each other and things just start flowin'. Everything is natural and seems pretty ordinary in the grand scheme of the dating world. However, sometimes this whole social plan gets old and you need something to jog your emotional or dating itch. Thus, you turn to new and highly glorified app that brings you total solace for your adventurous ways. Why hello, Tinder!

Just like any normal first date, it is pretty awkward and there really is no way to get around it. You just have to let it happen. But, ever since you went on your very first "first date," which was probably back in middle school, you can easily recognize others on their own first date. And, it is pretty hilarious, to say the least. 

But with Tinder, there is a whole new ball game. And, these Tinder first dates are even more humorous. So, next time you are out on the town, here are some obvious ways to tell if a couple is on a Tinder date (courtesy of The Daily Share).

1. The Arrival: A goofy grin as if to suggest "this is really happening," followed by the dates sizing each other up. Guys usually go for the hug, otherwise they stick with the handshake or a half shoulder hug (girls much rather prefer the handshake).

2. The Bathroom Escape: It's not uncommon for one of the two daters to ask the bartender or waiter for their opinion on how the date is going if the other person is in the bathroom. If the date is going down in flames, sometimes the person not in the bathroom will just bail right there and then. Awkward...

3. The Conversation: Has there ever been a non-awkward first date conversation? Or at least one that doesn't touch upon where each person is from, what each person does for work and how the weather is right now?

4. The Bad Date: When the date's going really badly (assuming that one person hasn't skipped out on the other), either one or both parties will pull out their phones. The particularly shameless ones will, in fact, pull out their phones to find OTHER TINDER DATES. Ballsy.

5. The Good Date: Take heart Tinderers; there is such a thing as good first Tinder dates. You know you're having one when there's lots of laughter, the rest of the bar is a blur and you feel each other drawing closer and closer to one another. You might even touch/graze hands. Good job, kids!

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
