For example, my best friend swiftly swiped right on a Tinder profile advertising a free front-row ticket to an NYC Paramore concert and ended up at the show that same evening.
But sometimes dating apps do lead to positive - or at least interesting - experiences that aren't so run-of-the-mill. Personally, I can't tell you how many photos I've swiped through featuring men proudly holding a freshly caught fish or "I'll fall for you" prompts that are finished with "if you trip me." It all starts to feel pretty tired after a while.
If you are "on the apps" like I am, then you've probably grown accustomed to many of the usual trends - ghosting, catfishing, and even "OnlyPlans," Plenty of Fish's newly coined term that refers to plans repeatedly never coming to fruition.
