5 Reasons Why You Should Delete Tinder RIGHT NOW (While there’s Still Hope for you):

  1. You are not an option to be weighed:
    With a whole world of pretty faces at your fingertips, it’s temptingly difficult not to get wrapped up in the endless swiping of a finger. But, your pretty little face is 1 in a million & you are worth more than a swipe. The composite list of all that you could offer someone is worth so much more than you could summarize in a two-sentence bio that Mr. Right-Now probably isn’t even reading anyway.
  2. Tinder is an app based on convenience:
    Do you really want someone to date you because it’s merely convenient for them? Because you live less than 25 miles away? Because you have blue eyes that fit their preference? Because you’re 5’6 and they wouldn’t want to have to bend down too far?
  3. You’re not a “hook-up”, kind of girl:
    Let’s face it; Tinder got its bearings as an app for the lonely “hook-up” seeker. You can’t turn to Tinder looking for a worthwhile relationship & then be surprised when everyone you talk to turns out to want just what the site advertises for: a hook-up.
    Guard your heart; it’s the only one you’ve got. Don’t offer it up to the undeserving on the tip of your swiping-finger. Because if he can’t have sex with it, he’s going to return it.
  4. Tinder is the support group meeting place for those with commitment issues & the emotionally unavailable:
    I’m serious. They should do a survey. It’s not going to be so “convenient” anymore when you’re elbows deep in his ex-issues, or his trust-issues, or his two-steps-forward-six-steps-back issues. You will get tired of dancing. You will get tired of fighting someone else’s battles. You will just be inconveniently tired.
  5. Romance doesn’t deserve to die:
    You are worth a chance meeting in a coffee shop when you were just trying to avoid the rain. You’re worth an “I just had to introduce myself,” from the kind smile of a nervous stranger who didn’t want to miss his chance. You’re worth respecting and honoring. You’re worth not having to worry that your Tinder-date is back online the moment he drops you off because for a moment he forgot anyone but you existed in the world.

There is an endless list of all that you are worth & at the very top it says that you deserve to be reminded of them. So here’s your reminder: delete Tinder, because (spoiler alert), it’s not on the list.
