Meeting for Dating has Changed!

The dating game,  has always been about the romantic desire to find that perfect match, that everlasting love, that significant other.  It’s an innate part of human nature.

Today, the way we work and communicate has been totally revolutionized by the internet.  In recent years, the way we play  has also been revolutionized. More specifically by the dating app, “Tinder”.

Launched in 2012, this omnipresent social media app is known the world over. Its use and effect, can have a profound outcome on its users. A profound outcome in one of the biggest decisions that people make in their lives; i.e. finding a partner. Tinder is a social media app that helps people connect with other users (through clever use of algorithms); and figures out that they may be a potential match. Back in the day (early 1990s), the idea of meeting your partner online seemed futuristic, if not a little sad.

 However, in today’s society smartphones have replaced bars and clubs and make meeting your potential soulmate. Today you can do it as easy as 123 with the swipe of your finger. Singletons can mingle with potential partners from the comfort of their own home.  No longer is it necessary to go out and meet people in bars, cafés or dance clubs.

How does Tinder work in this new world of modern love?

To swipe (left or right) or not to swipe, might be the modern dilemma.  But how does Tinder match people?  And how do Tinder matches work? The truth is, that no-one actually knows, except those clever tech guys whose algorithms are a closely guarded secret.  The reality is that Tinder cleverly (and very quickly) produces 10-15 potential matches in seconds. Thus creating intrigue, excitement and a short adrenalin rush with users dreaming that true love might actually just be a swipe away!  Before you know it you’re hooked – and if you’re very lucky, hooked up!

So, for the completely uninitiated, let’s take a closer look at how Tinder works and see how you match on Tinder.

How is it Done?

First things first, you must download the Tinder app and create an account.   This is done using your Facebook account (all very user friendly with easy to follow prompts from the app) which will be useful for choosing photos to introduce yourself to the Tinder population. Here is where you can give a brief description of yourself – a short, casual bio.

How the Tinder app works once it has been set up is through its now infamous “swipe” option.   Once your account is up and running you can immediately start “meeting” other people and looking into their profiles.   The profiles of the other people will be similar to yours, giving information such as name, age, how far away they live from your location and in some cases education might be given.  You will also see if and how many friends you have in common (through Facebook).

Users swipe the screen to the left or to the right of the profiles they see (if you swipe left on Tinder it means you do not wish to see that particular profile again and by swiping the screen to the right means you like what you see and you are giving the profile a  “yes”). This is the basics of how the Tinder app works. If the person whose profile you “liked” also swipes right and gives your profile a “yes” you will see a “IT’S A MATCH” screen flashing, followed by general enthusiasm,  excitement and the feeling that “happily ever after” might just get real!

It is all in Your Hands!

One reassuring feature of how Tinder works is that, even when you have been matched, your fate is in your own hands. You can still decide and choose what is best for you.  You can stash away your matches and never get in touch with them. Or you can begin communicating with your matched person and find out more information about that person.  Chatting or messaging your match is easy and casual. The app allows you to build up a better picture of the person on the other side of the screen. It also gives you vital time to decide if you want to continue with that match. Perhaps you may want to bring things to the next stage, which might include meeting up.  Tinder, how it works is a safe, modern ,and an easy way to find new friends or your perfect match.

Probably one of the best features of how Tinder works is the fact that the safety of the user is of utmost importance.  Having said that however, not everyone on Tinder may be the type of person you would like to meet . Nor should you feel in any way obliged to take things further just because the Tinder app matched you.   The block button option on Tinder gives you the possibility of eliminating profiles, which you may have been previously matched with. Don’t be afraid to use it, especially if you feel in anyway harassed or not comfortable with the behavior of another user.  Safety first always!
