I decided to reload Tinder.
Don't ask me why. I think I wanted to start dating again. I think I thought I was ready to find someone and that I was ready to be in a relationship again. I'd quite like someone to spend time with. I'd quite like a partner. So I turned to Tinder. Good lord. I was clearly at rock bottom.
New account. New profile. New photos. Hi ho, hi ho, it's off to swipe I go.
So I started swiping and to be honest, there wasn't much chat at all. Matched with a few good looking men.
Then I swiped with this pilot. Carlo. Italian. Very handsome. Pilots are notoriously bad news. Very bad news. I wouldn't normally swipe right on a pilot but desperate times, called for desperate measures and they can't all be bad can they?
I was sat on the sofa, it was a weeknight and the pilot popped up for a chat. It was pretty clear, as clear as the bloody sky that he flies in, that all he wanted was fun but I was in a playful mood.
After a little flirting and I mean little.
P for Pilot: "Do you want to come round?"
H: "Well I am a little busy.
P: "Well if you aren't interested, then stop wasting my fucking time you fucking bitch".
Delete and unmatched. Someone is clearly a little sexually frustrated but he certainly wasn't going to get any with that attitude.
Honestly I was shocked. It made me feel like absolute shit. I spoke to this guy for less than 5 minutes. I there and then, deleted my account and the app.
I wasn't going to be looking for anyone for the foreseeable and I was ok with that. I decided that I just wanted to my thing and if I found someone that was cool and if not, that's also cool but Tinder was not an option no matter how low I was feeling.
So Tinder and I unmatched and that was that.
