In the 21st century we are all guilty of online dating—I have also tried it. I am not really into the online websites as much as the applications such as Tinder, since it just seems easier to swipe left for the people that are not so attractive and right for the ones that spark your interest a bit.

However, I feel as if me and Tinder are in more of a relationship than the guys I have met on the application itself. I will get the app and have it for a couple weeks, find a cute guy or a couple cute guys, talk to them, meet up and it never goes anywhere. Then I delete Tinder because I feel like it is not working, but then I get a bored a couple weeks later and download Tinder again. The cycle just keeps repeating over and over again.

Therefore, Tinder is more like a "boyfriend" than the ones it you actually helps you to find on the app itself. I feel as if me and Tinder have an on-and-off relationship that will never end because I will always have a phone or it will end when I have that real life boyfriend and Tinder is no longer needed. I even tell my friends about this and they go through the same situation.

I am not saying that the guys you meet while on Tinder can not one day be your boyfriend because I have seen amazing relationships come out of Tinder, but I am saying that the deleted and re-downloading of Tinder is like the breakup and makeup of a boyfriend. I hope I am not the only one feeling as if Tinder is my boyfriend.
