16 Horribly Awkward Moments You’ll Know If You Use Tinder In Dubai

Avatar

Tinder…It’s perfect really, you may not have time to go to the club or a bar, but you still have access to Dubai’s dating scene at your fingertips. Swipe right if you like, swipe left if you don’t. Simple. (Ask anyone you know, they’ll probably have tried it) 

But, as with dating in ‘real life’, Tinder comes with it’s own particular set of awkward moments; from choosing pictures, the difficulties of striking up a decent conversation, to the whole ‘like’ / ‘super like’ dilemma. Here are the absolute worst:

1. When you start a conversation but get no response

The 21st century mystery. Was it an accidental like? Or, on second glance, did they realise they’re not interested?… We’d rather not know.

2. When you change your profile picture hoping to score some more matches…but still get none

3. When you wave at a familiar face in Barasti, but then realise you recognise them from Tinder

Happens to us all, right?

4. When you pay to update the app so you can expand the distance settings

5. When the conversation starts with ‘how are you?’ and you immediately know it will never work
