People think tinder is a dating app. Really? Honestly, I have experienced it myself. And I truly believe it is just not a dating app, its there for hookups as well. There are guys who just mess with you for a physical relationship with no emotions at all. If you are one experienced girl, you would understand a guy’s intentions in his first few words! Way of talking speaks a lot about a person’s personality! I still am not able to decipher the significance of the tinder app! Why cant people learn to stay happy single? The more you get into a person, the more power you give them to destroy you. One thing we must understand that if we don’t hold the power to keep ourselves happy then nobody else in this world can do the same! Believe in yourself and carry on with life. You can make world a happy place to live in by learning to support yourself and not by depending on others . Ask yourself the question,’ Am i a tinder boy or girl? Or I’m sufficient enough to support myself? Ask you inner self and decide what course of action you wish to take in life. Tinder is not an apt application to find your soulmate. If somebody has to arrive in your life, he will gradually come and leave you lovestruck forever and ever.Learn to be your own friend first. Make more friends but don’t trust anybody easily. Trust doesn’t mean trust anybody, only people you think are worth your trust and wont leave you broken later. Be yourself,love yourself and don’t give people an opportunity to destroy you at any point of life. Tinder maybe good for people who have lost hope completely in life and do not have anymore energy left to make themselves stand again.
