※ Download: Finding a hookup on tinder

While you should be able to understand the basic mechanics of using the app now, there are still some common questions on people's minds when it comes to using Tinder: If You Swipe Left Are They Gone Forever? Many men end up in the friend zone or the girl just stops responding to your messages because you wait too long. It still remains a great site for finding casual sex or a no strings attached relationship.

In short, meet in public. Obviously, if she swipes right on you and you aren't a match, she will know that you haven't swiped right, but this could be for a variety of reasons: either you haven't seen her profile yet, or you are not a frequent user of the app, or you have indeed swiped left for a variety of potential reasons. Tiffanie: Tinder hook-ups are not good in my opinion.

5 Steps To Get Laid Using Tinder - Your profile, photos, and your first message will determine whether or not she will sleep with you. Tinder offers premium features, but the basic functions are still free.

For many of us, Tinder is just about fucking, but not for everyone. Is it mainly to get laid? Some say they want friends, or long-term relationships, while others just want to avoid the emotional turmoil of fuck-and-chuck hook-up culture. Wanting to know a bit more, I asked some women I matched with why they're not down with hookups. Fatima: To be honest, at first, I was down for whatever, but after a year of going wild, I told myself my second year of college that I just wanted a boyfriend. Was there anything in particular that turned you off from hook-up culture? Lack of attractive guys I guess. Have you had any luck with meaningful dates through here yet? Well, I was a sheltered child so going off to college and being free—I went wild with hook-ups, even my guy friends would give me props and say I'm their idol. Do you get negative responses when dudes find out you're not into just hooking up right away? What's your ideal non-hook-up date, if there is one? I'm not a picky person. Like, as long as I'm with them, we could do anything and it'd be fine. But probably outside of a bedroom would be best. Tiffanie: Tinder hook-ups are not good in my opinion. I think it's selling yourself short. What do you mean by that? Like, you don't know these people. That alone makes me skeptical of meeting up with somebody. Why would I want to bang them off the bat? So, are you against all hook-ups or just quick, fast hook-ups? Like, would you go on a date with somebody and then maybe hook-up afterward? For sure, but they'd have to introduce it as a date and I'd have to like them. If someone's just in for sex, that's not something I'm comfortable with. What's your experience on Tinder been like? It's been good—I've met great people on here. I have a few good friends now because we met on Tinder. There was a guy I was seeing for a bit off here, but we're no longer together. Would you say it's built mainly for hook-ups and quick sex? I don't think so, at least, not in my experience. It's a really fast way to meet people, but it's not like, overly-sexualized, y'know? I think a lot of my friends are attractive, and I think I like them more because of that, but does that mean I want to have sex with them? Whitney: I started using Tinder when I first broke up with my boyfriend in May 2014. Why did you choose the no hook-up policy on here? Well, I don't think hooking up with other guys is the right way to get over someone. It just ends up making me feel disgusted and upset with myself. Have you used Tinder for hook-ups in the past? No, I normally used Tinder just to meet new people, but sometimes it leads to hook-ups. Now I just tend to avoid it. What about hooking up casually makes you feel bad about yourself? In the past, I would've used hooking up to make me feel complete. Eventually people started calling me a whore, and I became something that I didn't want to be anymore. On the reverse side, has anyone got mad that you didn't want to hook-up? No, I've never actually had anyone get mad at me, which is kind of surprising since it's Tinder. Karen: Well, just because I'm not on Tinder for hook-ups doesn't mean I'm opposed to it. Like, my general motive on Tinder is just to talk to cool people, but if a hook-up becomes a thing then maybe I would. Do you usually tell people that off the bat or do you wait until they ask you to hook-up? I pretty much wait until they ask. I find it weird to announce a no hook-up policy. It's like, would I go up to someone I just met in real life and tell them I have a no hook-up rule? What's the response been when you tell somebody you're not about quick hook-ups? I usually just ghost those people. Unless I've formed a friendship with them, then I'll tell them. Most people I end up befriending and asking have been super respectful and we just continue being friends. That's something that seems to be a common sentiment about women I know who use Tinder. How often do you find yourself telling people no? I actually haven't been on Tinder for a while. I was in a relationship and completely deactivated my account, I just got back on a week ago. Like I said, I'd just ghost them. With all that stress, do you think Tinder's worth its weight for you? I mean, I've honestly met a lot of cool ass people who have, one way or another, really changed my life and helped me grow as a person. I think the shittiness of it is worth it when you find some people you can bond with that you maybe wouldn't have met in real life. Nikita: Mostly because a lot of my friends have formed meaningful relationships with guys off Tinder that didn't necessarily start off with sex. Do you find yourself getting a lot of people hitting you up just to bang? How long does it usually take before they drop the question? Usually four or five messages, but some will directly message me something sexual as their first message, which I do appreciate more because it's direct and I know what they're all about. Not really, but I am pretty straightforward about no hook-ups in my bio. I do find that guys have trouble believing I'm not looking for a hook-up though, but no one has really gotten angry about it. That's interesting that they ignore your bio or think you're lying. Have you went on any successful dates through Tinder yet? Interviews have been edited slightly for clarity.
