Back in the days when Tinder started, I wasn't a huge fan of it. I simply couldn't imagine that my soulmate was on the other side of the dating app, just waiting for my picture to show up, so they could swipe right. I mean, come on.

I had the app for about a day. I have to admit, it was somewhat addictive, and the responsible me decided it was time to delete the app before it would cause any trouble in my life.

I was completely fine with my decision, until one of my closest friends told me about how she met her current boyfriend on Tinder. Let me tell you, they are perfect for each other, indeed soulmates.

So, it was true, you really could find your soulmate on Tinder. I instantly regretted deleting my account and limiting my chances of finding "the one." I downloaded the app again and started swiping right. It didn't matter who they were, I swiped right on everything and everybody. I am sure they had all great personalities.

I got a few matches, but I wasn't entirely sure what to do with them. Was I supposed to message them first? I didn't want to seem desperate, but I was also debating if my match might be thinking the same, which means we both would waste our chance. I figured with the right approach, sending the first message wasn't necessarily a bad thing. After all, who doesn't like a girl who takes the first step?

After receiving some extremely troubling responses, I figured it was time to look past the first picture (stupid beginner's mistake, never trust the first picture). I now only swiped right for a selective few. Everybody else was a hard left.

Do you think I am heartless? Let me give you some examples of the people I matched with because I mindlessly swiped right.

Meet Walter:

Walter is, according to his profile, 26 and likes to adopt Haitian babies. He also likes to point out that he has a sensitive side.

Next up is Jonathan:

Jonathan is 21. He is a firefighter, and yes, he is cute. The only problem, he is taking selfies, and probably uploaded them to his Tinder profile before doing anything about that fire. Do better, Jonathan.

Last, but not least, meet Robert.

He is 31, who is trying to be the best man that he can be.

I am sure all of them are extremely nice guys, just not quite my type.

And just when you think you finally found the one cute, interesting bio, and most importantly, they swiped you right, as well, they turn out to be complete idiots, who's only intention is to hook up with you. No, thank you, I am not interested. Please continue on with your life, while I keep swiping right until I find the love of my life.

If you think about it, Tinder is good for one thing: learning to deal with rejection. You like this cute boy and you patiently wait for him to like you back because hello, have you looked at my profile pictures? After three hours of patiently waiting, you start to get a little worried that something is wrong with your internet connection, you check all the other apps on your phone, but everything else seems to work just fine. Weird. After waiting for another two hours, you are convinced Tinder is broken. I mean, it clearly must be; otherwise, the cute guy would have swiped right. See, what I mean when I talk about dealing with rejection? Do better, Tinder.

Another super awkward thing about Tinder? Meeting the person you just swiped left in the coffee shop sitting next to you. I mean, come on, what are the odds? You suddenly feel extremely guilty. I mean, you really wanted to swipe right, but it simply didn't seem like the right time. You consider paying $9 a month to get Tinder Plus, so you can go back in time and when his profile comes up, swipe right, but you quickly realize you can't afford that.

You keep wondering if he maybe knows, that you swiped left when his face came up. You get nervous because what if he is trying to take revenge? You quickly drink your coffee, leave the place and hope you will never see him again.

Even though I am pretty close to getting a swipe-related repetitive strain injury, and I am handing myself out there for every stalker to find me, I am still not giving up, at least not yet. I am still convinced that my soulmate is out there, and eventually, he will swipe right. Until then...
