My Boyfriend And I Deleted Our Dating Apps TOGETHER And It Was Such A Freeing Experience
It was finally time to turn our "love at first swipe" relationship to "boyfriend-girlfriend" status.
My boyfriend and I met on Tinder 10 months ago, and although we have never met each other prior to that, it was "love at first swipe."
A touchy subject to talk about, the day finally came where we need to establish what we were and what our intentions were. Although most students go through the "talking" phase with their significant other, we knew that we both wanted more.
Because we met of Tinder, it hard to get a grasp on who the other significant other was like. Sure we read each other's bios and saw our profile pictures, but we really didn't know much about each other.
When we finally decided to meet up because I "needed help studying for my calculus exam," it was an experience and feeling that I've never felt before. (And side note, it so happens that we were in the same lecture for half a semester and didn't even know!) From the moment we started talking, we knew there was something more, not a moment of silence or awkwardness even though we literally just met. It was as if I was catching up with an old friend that I've known for years.
After about two weeks of "talking" and honestly being inseparable, we decided to have "the talk." Although we were both a little nervous, we knew that we had a connection that we couldn't deny. Once the conversation happened, we decided to take the big leap to delete our dating apps, i.e. Tinder. Which of course is where we met in the first place.
I have to say, that deleting Tinder, especially together, was the most freeing experiences. No worries that there were other girls, no worries that this was too good to be true. Deleting our profile's together signified that we were in an exclusive and genuine relationship.
No more games, it was just us.
Although it is very "millennial" to say that our relationship was "real" after deleting our apps, it was a way to demonstrate to each that we were serious. We were free from the hookup culture and games that our fellow classmates played.
We finally reached the "boyfriend-girlfriend" status. And it was so worth it.
Bye, bye boys!
