How to: Pickup the Tinderettes

Gaining popularity over the past year, the dating application Tinder has officially reached 1 billion matches as of March 2014, according to CEO Sean Rad.  Being an experienced user of the app myself, I can assume that of those 1 billion connections that were made, only a small percentage of them have resulted in conversation.

When "how to start a conversation" is searched on Google, the first suggestion offered is "how to start a conversation on Tinder", proving that a fair amount of users have difficulty taking the first step.  I consider myself one of the lucky ones though and have no problem starting a conversation with my secret lovers.  These are my secrets to Tinder success.

There are 5 simple ways to win your wife-

1.) Simply say hello:  This is the most simple way to start a conversation on this dating service.  It is also the most common.  Make sure you grab her attention right after she responds, otherwise she may write you off as a potential soul-mate.  Ask her about her family life, as most women enjoy talking about that.

After successfully cracking through her tough exterior by discussing family
life, the girl opens up and praises my "silly" trait.  Check-mate.

2.) Ask a question:  Make sure that the question you ask intrigues her, and makes her think deeply about herself before giving an honest answer.  Once you think you have learned enough about your match, the next step is to move the conversation to texts.

Although the first few messages go well, I feel like I may have overstepped the line asking for
feet pics.  Don't be afraid of rejection though! Just move on to the next match!

3.) Be completely honest:  Let them know a little something about yourself.  It's important that your match knows the fine details of your life.  Don't be afraid to open up about your relationship with your mother either! Women like to learn about the relationship between their man and their soon to be mother-in-law.

It is important to connect over common interests.  In this case, Nintendo Wii.  By asking for her
Wii system, I have now opened many doors, many of which lead to
us growing old together. (It's cut off, but she actually said I could have it!)

4.) Be charismatic:  Show a little excitement! You may have just met your wife!  Send your lover a wake-up text that puts a smile on their face.

Tip: If you think your match may have a neurological disorder, be straight forward about
 your concern and ask them.  It's better to know now rather than after you've tied the knot.

5.) Show a little love: We're all here to find love! Just don't go over the top.

Remember, there's never a "right" time to say the L word. Just
make that you just don't throw the word around too much.

Happy hunting.
