The number of people on Tinder is insane! I just moved to the middle of nowhere (population: me and a dog), and opened Tinder and it was full of people!

Maybe the cows are signing up, or something? I didn't look too closely because it would be sort of embarrassing to swipe right on the postman.

You are truly in the middle of nowhere. How'd you get there? What's it like?

:) My cousins had a vacation cottage here which I loved as a kid. This February, after two and a half years (a LOOONG time in film-editing terms) on a gruelling job in London I upped and quit. I booked an air bnb on the bus on the way home, shoved the dog in the car, and drove to France.

Six months later, and I've sold my place in London and bought a (dream) house out here. OOOOPS

I've seen people I know from classes and work already. Which is fun, but that's not something I'm going to pursue, or maybe I will? Who knows? The world is full of fun ways to mess up.

It is nice that Tinder shows you if that person has a connection with any of your friends on Facebook though, because there have been people that I might have swiped right on because I don't want to deal with the 'you're cheating on your wife with my friend!' because no one knows about my divorce but Hubski so far.
