Well, hello there, audience; my little squad of unique and brilliant people. I'm here to tell you a little story that went horribly wrong. Now, a lot of what I do nowadays is for you guys. I brainstorm ideas, ask others' input, and do a little bit of researching here and there. The life of a blogger, am I right? Well, this time, the story that I planned, moved in inexplicable ways.





It all started with a little prank that I decided to do on Tinder. The reason for why I did this wasn't for content (I would never do stuff just to write about it, come on now), but I wanted to retaliate against the whole system. It didn't even work, at least for me, because obviously, I'm still single (As of right now). All the trouble of writing a perfect bio, compiling the best pictures, and the strenuous effort to talk to people, ends up in relationships that don't lead anywhere, boring dates, and dick picks. Come on gentlemen (specifically those who appreciate to send imagery of their phallic region, keep it to yourself unless it's asked for), be a little bit classy. However, some might say that I shouldn't be worried about getting a date at this age, and they're right, maybe the reason for why I end up in such predicaments is that I'm not really looking for someone (other than a cool friend to talk and bounce some ideas off of) and my age might attract men with adverse intentions. Nevertheless, the experience was below sub par and so I grew an increasing amount of resentment (not because I'm lonely...), that's why I decided to play a prank.





I wanted to see how people would react to a profile containing just an anime pillow. That's right, an anime pillow, with a caption of "swipe right for me senpai". Then I laid back swiped right a couple of times until I received my responses. Honestly, this process took a lot longer than any time before and I had a lot of people either ignored me, asked for pictures of myself, or talked about anime (which I didn't mind because the topic was relevant). A lot of guys asked for pictures to validate that I'm a girl, which also made sense in the context.





Thereafter, two days have passed and I swiped right on a guy who claimed to be an engineer. After some initial dialogue had been exchanged, I've asked him a little bit about his job. After a few moments, we realized that he actually worked for my father's company, of which my father was the manager. Or more importantly, his boss. This initially turned me extremely red and I've begun shaking because I wasn't sure of what to do. I mean, we had something in common that we could talk extensively about, but it dawned on me that if my father were to find out, he could get fired. Plus, him being 27 didn't help my case because I'm only 18. Therefore, I decided to not get too attached to this gentleman even though he seemed very chivalrous, intelligent, and courteous. However, I realized this a little bit too late as I've dragged the dialogue on for five days ('Cause I'm a horrible human being. Thank you) and finally, I've had enough time and courage to just be his friend. Honestly, I have no idea why it's so hard to end a relationship, even if both parties haven't gone out or known each other for an extensive amount of time. It's just so tedious and emotionally draining. Plus, this cycle repeats itself until you find "the one" or end up lonely... with loads of cats... Doesn't it make you not want to start a relationship like... ever?





This experience taught me that I really, really should stay away from Tinder because I don't really need a significant other at this point in my life. Plus, it's better to find someone organically, through friends, or a coffee store, or a library, or a club; all in all, places where people of the same age range roam the room. Plus, they're real. Sure it's easy to just swipe on other people's profiles and sit on your couch all day but going out is a lot better. Plus, it keeps you away from awkward situations, just like the one I've mentioned in this blog, and both parties end up keeping their emotions and self-esteem intact. There you go, don't commit to a relationship, ever (I'm kidding, of course. It's not like anyone can control their emotions). This will save your feelings in the long run (In other words..., I just want you to understand that an end of a relationship brings wisdom for a better relationship in the future) and keep you sane in the short run.
