Dating__With__Tinder__!!!

These days, Tinder is a one-stop shop for anyone looking to date, hook up or simply see what kind of interesting people might be in their area. Online dating sites have been waning in favor of dating apps for some time now, and Tinder has cornered such a large portion of the dating app market that, for many young people, the very name of the brand and its functions have become synonymous with dating – you’re likely to hear young singles saying “I’m back on Tinder again!” as a shorthand for their relationship status, and “I’d swipe right!” is a widely-understood shorthand for finding someone attractive.

How Do You Know Why Women Are On Tinder?
If Tinder is used for so many different purposes, how can you tell whether the women in your queue are looking for friendship, hook ups or serious dating? Well, there are a few key signs and phrases.

What Are You Looking For?

You can use Tinder for any of the above reasons too, but it pays to be clear with yourself and everyone else exactly what you're looking for. If you're not looking anything more than a casual hook up, you should make that clear, ideally in your bio ("not looking for anything serious," "seeking hook ups") or at the very least once you start chatting to your matches (and more on that below). If you're looking to date seriously, that should also be immediately evident to anyone interacting with you.
