Five Types of People You Meet on Tinder

Tinder is an online dating app that is used commonly amoung young adults. Many people have it, although not all are able to admit their addiction to the app. If you have Tinder there are several types of people you are guaranteed to meet.

1. The Accidental Swipe Right

There are some people that you just don't feel deserve to be right-swiped. It can be because you aren't attracted to them, too many mutual friends, too far away, etc. But somehow you've managed to accidentally swipe right on this person, and they then proceed to message you. Many people just unlatch or ignore their message, however if you end up giving them a chance it can be an interesting. Often this accidental swipe left is someone that turns into being a close friend or even a possible relationship.

2. The Ghost

So this match starts out like any other match, you both have a few things in common and decide to exchange numbers after some small talk. You talk for a few weeks, maybe even hang out a few times. Things seem to be going great but then all of sudden they stop texting you. It is as if they just disappear into thin air. You look over the texts and ask your friends for their intake. You didn't do anything wrong so the only reasonable explanation is they were a ghost.

3. The Hook Up

We've all been there, you tell yourself that you won't succumb to your primal needs, but eventually you give in. You aren't proud to admit it, but you've had at least one hookup from Tinder. Some people have more than others, but don't deny it just embrace it.

4. The One Out of Your League

Somehow the Tinder gods where on your side for once and you managed to match with someone, who appears way out of your league. You may not always be the one to message first, but this is one person you take no time to type of the first message. It might not work out but just knowing they swiped right on you, whether it was by accident or on purpose, makes your day.

5. The "One"

If you're lucky you will meet someone on Tinder that is worth having a relationship with. Everything goes seemingly perfect: you share a lot of things in common, they aren't too far away and they like you for you. You go on a few dates and eventually you find yourself dating. When people ask you both tend to answer that it was through mutual friend, not wanting to admit you met on a dating app. The relationship may or may not last forever, but meeting them makes all other matches pale in comparison.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

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.
