And so we turn to online dating in the hope that we’ll find someone that’s a little different than the others. Some of us choose Grindr, some of us choose Bumble and most of us turn to Tinder.

Here’s 8 things that have definitely you’ve definitely thought to yourself while using it.

1. ‘Is that a dick pic?’

2. ‘Which one are they?’

3. ‘Please don’t open with a line’.

‘Hey baby, did it hurt when you fell from heaven?’

4. ‘I wonder if they like more than food and movies?’

5. ‘I seem to have something really good with this person’.

Then it turns out they’re only here for the summer or they’re about to move to Siberia or something.

‘Oh so you want women to be BETTER than men?’
