Tinder Romance

This so-called day in age has improved and decreased in it's culture, love, politics, employment and so much more. Today, however, I am going to tell you about our current social media and dating from a personal perspective. Everyone knows about Tinder, it's nearly how almost everyone meets now a days. That is where I met my man, and now we are almost to a year and planning ourselves a wedding for the new month of December. Being the age of 19, I know there are some judgments that come up, one definitely being the fact that I am 19 and getting married. There is also the fact, however, that anyone that gets married will almost always say that when you know, you know, and heck 100 percent I definitely know.

Now, I know you want to hear all the details, right? This article may only be for the ladies, since we know most men don't love the mushy gushy, but if there are any guys that love a romance stay tuned. Let's turn the clock back to the very beginning, shall we? I am 19 years old and I had just the gotten dumped. I know that sucks and some may not care, but I did get dumped, and I will tell you I was heartbroken. I never really dated until my senior year, that's when I got my first boyfriend and that didn't last long because he was not a good guy in any way. So the break up I am talking about was my second boyfriend, and man oh man did that come out of nowhere. I literally had seen him the day before, everything fine and wonderful, and then I get a text conversation about how he just didn't love me anymore. Not what I wanted to hear but there is was on text.

So after being dumped with no real context of why or what I had did wrong, I just hung out with my friends I did stupid after breakup things for probably about a month and then said eh what the heck let's check out some dating apps, probably not the best timing to do it. Some may think I am crazy, but I wasn't just going to wait for a Prince Charming that I thought never existed so I got onto tinder and made a profile. I will then definitely tell you that not all the guys were amazing, some were plain old jerks as being the nicest way to say that, and some were just not my type. Then I met Dakota, we texted on the app a bit and then moved over to text messaging. He lived in a very small town about an hour and a half away from me and a small town I never heard off. We made plans to meet halfway and then I would come over to his place to hang out and go to these hot pots near his place.

I can't not tell you how nervous I was and especially some seemed great over text could be not so great in person and trying to date through social media can be a little sketchy and some people think that it is down right stupid but as soon as I met him know joke I felt like I have known him for years. I was waiting at our halfway point in a parking lot so that I was where everyone was and he had came up and had smacked my window to scare me and he definitely got me. We were laughing so hard and it really broke any potential awkwardness. That whole day he made me laugh harder than I had after the break up and he was such a gentlemen. That day became a weekend each week, then more days, then months. It wasn't until a few weeks after we met that he had asked me out to officially become his girlfriend. I will also tell you that it isn't all rainbows and unicorns. We have had our fights and quite a few downs, but one thing about him is he was always willing to work through it, and so was I.

I also know though that if it wasn't for tinder I would have never met him or known that a guy like him existed. He always and still brings out the best in me, spoiling me and making me laugh. I use to be so lost and thought all guys were bad, but it was because I was looking in the wrong places, and I don't mean that just because I found him in tinder that is always the right place to look. I mean I have seen unsafe things that can happen with Tinder and other online dating/meet up sites. The main point is that I wanted to share my Tinder romance to other people, it has been amazing and now we are going on almost one year and the wedding in the next month. I had a rough go with guys, and I know males and females both have had a rough go with relationships as well. Dating is not easy whatsoever, but it can be made easier when you find the right person.

I found the right guy that gave me a new meaning to life, that brought the best out in me and made me feel loved and cherished. I thought that my ex was the one and I thought he made me fill good but he only brought me down and I never truly realized it until months after we parted. If it wasn't for Tinder, I wouldn't have Dakota and I wouldn't feel like a whole new person. Tinder was a hidden secret for an amazing soon-to-come romance, it was finding love in the unknown.
