This makes me want to try Tinder. As I mentioned elsewhere, I played with it for the first time on my roommates when we were both pretty drunk. It seemed like a really shallow game, not a way to make viable connections.

I am also legitimately surprised that it actually works. Grindr was all the rage when I was living in NYC and surrounded by gay guys. The difference is gay guys are totally okay saying, "I WANT TO FUCK...or give you a bj behind the library...NOW." Girls typically play more coy.

I've been talking about girls, sex, coyness, the game and the chase with a couple different friends recently. Guys love sex and want sex and download a Tinder app to try to have NSA sex. However, not playing the chase and catch game is a major turn off for some guys. I noticed my roommate hates it when girls text him "I want to fuck you" or equivalent sexy bluntness. He gets legitimately turned off by it and wants to chase - even after he has already had emotionally/intellectually devoid sexy-times with the person.

It's interesting that Tinder has found a way to make it work for the straight demographic. I'm sure they are still struggling with a skewed guy-girl ratio though.

"uh...craigslist killer?",

I never knew guys had the same "is this person a secret serial killer" worries as we do!

The guy I met a few weeks ago has an amazingly odd sense of humor and made Dexter jokes the first time we met. It was sincerely creepy until I realized that they were totally about Dexter. The references weren't super obvious - he picked the smaller details.

I got him back by making Overly Attached Girlfriend jokes the second time we hung out though. :P His attempts to not seem concerned were pretty epic. He caught on (thank God - that could've really fucking backfired!) and just texted me a couple hours ago:

Next thing I know she says "hey" and pulls me in to kiss her

I'm guilty of doing this too. I get impatient when I've decided I want a guy. It's nice to be kissed, though.
