The Tinder Date 1

It all started with an app. Mindlessly scrolling through profiles at 2 am in the morning, had become an unfortunately common activity. I finally stopped at a promising one after a slew of disappointments.

He seemed cute and smart, having briefly discussed his positions as a software programmer, attorney, and musician. His pictures were harmless and fun; He wasn't super hot but he wasn't ugly. He was cute in a nerdy, understated way; Was an alumnus from the college I currently attended, and was 10 years my senior.

I checked his pictures once again and decided to give him a right swipe. We didn't match at first and a bitterness washed over for me for just a moment, as I carried on swiping past the plethora of frat boys and possibly steroid-riddled men.

My eyes grew fatigued and I nearly called it quits for the night when my phone buzzed. I had a new match: him.
