Easier. I can Tinder without looking. Sort it all out later.
Message them?
I'm trying to nail down first meet up plans for tonight with a girl I met on Tinder.
Ah, I see. I was referring to appearance.
Like GqueB said, its a lot easier that way. Just swipe. Even if you dont think you'd want them, chances are they aren't going to be a match anyways, so just right swipe and then once your matches roll in you can sort it out.
Same response. Not everyone's a 6.

Installed this app yesterday, have had 2 matches already. Now I just need to figure out what to send. Especially for the other one, cause shes really cute.
What's the difference between swiping no, and blocking?
TinderGAF how do y'all think the algorithm works.
Is it random? Are people prioritized if they like you? If that's the case then any remotely attractive girl is going to have a line of hundreds of guys that liked her and you might never show up.
I wonder if the best strategy is to barely use the app or constantly use it so you're always seeing the newest people.

Just downloaded because it sounded fun, but read about the strategies and stuff. I don't know if I should try it.

My friend uses Tinder and he gave it 2 thumbs up. Said if you're just looking to hook up - swipe right on all, and everything will sort itself out. Even if no remote interest.
Dunno how it worked - no FB here so I can't attest.

You should post some if you don't mind. They can be funny depending on how good or bad they are.

I mean in this thread. Also I think I made a mistake logging in with Facebook, I had terrible profile pics.
first show us picture of the person so we can judge for you

Don't have the app. Have any Gaffers gotten lucky using it?
My buddy uses it and he says its hit or miss... literally

Yes. But as your buddy said, it is literally "Hit or Miss". Just fiddle with it when you have free time and expect disappointments. Matches (that actually respond) will work themselves (in or) out.
"Hey ___, what are you up to?"
I think I have seen about 20 "I'm going to lie about where we met"s.

I would too, if only.
Should try it next time I visit NY, because around here no one likes me

Been addicted to tinder for the past 2 months and have about 300 matches. Im pretty picky too. I had to go off of it for a few weeks because it got too time consuming and was distracting me at work. Im gonna deff gonna get into it again within the next few weeks before Memorial Weekend.

Chick I'm meeting with this weekend wants to know if I want to dance, drink, or talk. What do I say? I suck at dancing but I have the best chance of getting to mess around.
Do you just want to fuck? If so, dance and/or drink. Want to meet her for the purpose of maybe dating? If so, talk.
So basically you wanna drink/dance.

OK, that's exactly what I was going to tell her. Dancing is better when drinking so the combo seemed best.

Do all three. Drink while talking. Start dancing. Do a two-step. Get close. Do some touching of her waist. As alcohol sets in start grabbing ass.

Well it's not like I'm going to be a mute. She clearly means if I want to sit down and have dinner or go to the club part and drink and dance.

Used tinder awhile back. If I reinstall will it reset my shit? Can I go back through all the girls I negged?
Halcyon

Well you probably should do both. If you go to the club just to dance and drink then you won't have any time to talk a bit without Ace of Bass pumping too loud to hear.
Do you already have all the introductory information about each other?

Uhh, I saw a coworker on mine here when we're friends on FB...
Why?
Why?
If you just deleted the app no, it's saves that. If you deleted your account then probably yes.
You made the right choice. What does "talk" even mean? Just sit on a couch and talk at each other? Watch some Omarion and Justin Timberlake videos to bone up.

Pretty much yeah. We've been texting the last day or two trying to set this up. Don't Know if I really want to sit through a whole awkward date for that.
I'm pretty sure she wanted to go to dinner then the club. She responded with "lol, I'll eat before hand. I can't handle drinking on an empty stomach" so I guess we're good.
Halcyon

yea just skip that and go for rubbing your junk on her while she twerks.

Lol, she's asking me for pictures now. I guess saying I wanted to drink and dance clicked her mind over. Her grammar is so bad, it's rough to talk to her at times haha.
I see it as:
Drink/Dance - go out to a club for a bit, get those inhibitions low, then fuck.
Talk - go for a meal, talk for a bit, then go out to a club for a bit, get those inhibitions low, then fuck.

Yeah, that's pretty much exactly how it is. Or that's always how I've understood it to be.

I matched with a girl this morning and got a date like 2 hours later.
Got 2-3 others that I'm lining up as well. This app is pretty great. Sobering reality though, I never get matches with girls under 25. /oldmanface

I don't know about that. Most chicks I knew wanted older guys, not people their age.
That's awesome! Have you been using it long? Haven't gotten any matches on Tinder in the past couple of days, having decent luck elsewhere though. Seems to go in waves for me, all of a sudden I'll get a ton of matches and then nothing for a while.
I have a date tomorrow. We've been talking so long it's like we already know eachother......which frankly might backfire in the pursuit of quick sex.
If it does, this will be the first and last time I do it that way. After that, it will be get a match, plan a hookup ASAP, then close the deal. No more get-to-know-you-via-text-for-10-days-to-the-point-I-run-the-risk-of-getting-friendzoned stuff.
Hopefully I'm just being paranoid though and having some comfort with me will make her all the more DTF. Guess I'll find out soon!

Bingo.
In that case I hate "talk" dates because they feel like a job interview. I feel all first dates should happen on the dance floor, at a bowling alley, or invite her over and cook for her. Conversation is easier in all cases.
Museums are also good.

Yeah, kind of why I don't want to talk to this chick too much until Saturday either. I'm not looking to have some deep relationship.
I've been in that situation and it helps to do something that doesn't require you to sit and talk for a long period of time. I feel that ship has long sailed at this point but I think you'll be fine. At least you have a strong base so it's less introductory talk.
