You see a guy (or girl) that you like the look of, you click on their profile and flick through their pictures, you think their profile sounds interesting.. maybe it says:
"i'm an easy going guy that likes a good night out but appreciates a night spooning on the sofa. I love adventures and just want a Jane to my Tarzan"
You think, "I love going out, I love spooning and I love Tarzan!"
You match and get chatting.
Tinder guy: hey, how are you? what do you do?
Tinder Girl: hi, i'm good. I work as a ....... (it doesn't matter what you do for a living he doesn't care). What do you do? where are you based?
TG: I work as a *insert any job that involves travel* So I'm only in this area for a couple more days. You fancy meeting up for a coffee?
Girl: Yeah that would be good. Are you sure though? You're leaving soon....
The girl starts envisioning a romantic coffee shop date, longing looks over lattes, mind blowing conversation, she'd be witty, he'd be charming. By the end of the date, knowing he'd soon be leaving on the next ship to Timbuktu, they kiss and promise one another that a long distance relationship could work for them. Maybe a bit over the top but you catch my drift.
Instead she receives.....
Ah, silly naive Tinder girl, the "only in town for a couple days" tactic - the oldest trick in the book, she'd seen it before but fallen for it again. Exhausted by the arduous throws of online dating
tinder girl doesn't click "un-match" straight away...she goes in for a dry, sarcastic response - that'll show him.
In retrospect this wasn't as witty as she initially imagined and obviously the sarcastic tone of voice could only be heard in her head..... Tinder girl essentially gave Tinder guy the green light to be as colourful as he wanted.
In fact Tinder guy was so colourful that the full message cant be published.
So Tinder Girl learnt a valuable lesson, don't use sarcasm - especially when referring to sex.
Authors Note: this is a true tinder tale of which the author has meticulously kept all individuals identities anonymous. (SEE sarcasm can be read!)
