Oh yikes, ugh
Can I claim some kind of Viking heritage? Blonde, blue eyes, come from a country that was settled by Scandinavians who founded all of our cities?
Iāve got auburn hair and hazel eyes, and they still seemed convinced I was Danish (and Finnish friend was like āoh yeah you could be Danish actuallyā), so youāre way ahead of me already, so might as well claim it.
Iāve read this book in Swedish, mind, so perhaps Iāve already got my licence. I also like salmiakki/Tyrkisk pepper if thatās on the checklist.
All these things are only as creepy as the user.
chatted to someone a bit a few weeks ago, got asked out for a drink. complete radio silence between us after weād agreed on a place without confirming a date. like neither of us spoke to each other at all.
weird.
did the no pants dance with someone off there who I really liked like a year ago but she ended up moving back to LA like two weeks later.
and now sheās a thespian
@whiterussian how long before my new passport arrives in the post, and do I get to decide which country, or is it just a Scandi lucky dip?
QUESTION: What is the general etiquette on liking people that you already know on tinder, and fancy a bit? I know that some people ālikeā everyone they know on there for fun but I donāt. Iāve seen two people (who I both know as a friend of a friend, and of the same friend as well in fact), one I swiped past on instinct and the other one I am deciding on AS WE SPEAK.
Come on DiS, tell me what to do
Also i just canāt believe how many people have such shit profiles on tinder. Incredible.
Just like them FFS! Then youāll find out!
So many. Iām on it in right now and there are so many people I swipe past without even thinking anymore. A group photo as your first picture? NOPE
Whatās the worst the could happen?
Whatās the best that could happen?
The best probably far outweighs the worst. So do it!
(I donāt take my own advice)
This is exactly the kind of advice I would give to someone else, so i completely get where youāre coming from. Literally the worst that can happen is a bit of mild awkwardness but seeing as weāre all virgin indie bedwetters here, that is pretty bad.
Do you have them on facebook, etc? Would probably be better messaging rather than on tinder. Idk, whenever I see someone I vaguely know on online dating stuff I head for the hills immediately out of sheer anxiety. Maybe thatās just me though.
Basically if you canāt contact them elsewhere still ask them out anyway tbh.
Nope donāt have him on fb or anything. I hardly ever meet this person irl but our mutual friend is quite close with both of us, you see.
I had this happen once and chicken shitted out of swiping at all (thank fuck, he was only within a 10 mile radius of me for a day before he went back to Somerset). Sent him a FB message like LOL JUST SAW YOU ON TINDER, AWKWARD!! HOW ARE YOU ANYWAY
Tinder in the UK has ads! Ads! Fucking Hell!
Pretty much always swiped right with anyone I recognised. On two separate occasions it resulted in me going on dates with people Iād previously like but not done anything about because I didnāt think they were interested. To counter this humblebrag Iāll end the story with both of them realising how boring I am and calling things off with me.
have heard questions on podcasts/seen them sent into agony aunt columns that are along the lines of āiām on tinder so i can be a wingwoman for my friend and scope out her optionsā¦ā
maybe itās a real thing???
First person I matched with here is Irish. Hadnāt even looked at her profile properly. We canāt go anywhere.
Obvs I am going to say nothing. I am only here 'til Sunday morning.
