That greeting card holiday that singletons criticise as a grossly commercialised mockery of love while couples frantically try to rekindle their original spark, often to be disappointed. But rather than be alone on this holiday, might as well set Tinder on fire, right? What have you got to lose? Pokey tongue, wink face, praise hands, anyone? Yeah, right. DTF Obviously the real reason most people are on Tinder. Although the baos there are quite sexy. XXXLB, anyone? At least they typically suggest meeting for drinks so you can lay eyes on each other before you decide if you want to get a room.
Not much prior banter, no attempt at getting to know you, not even the suggestion of a drink first. Cringey profile photos You know the ones. Photos that show the individual posing with drugged up tigers, or covered in stupid Snapchat filters, hiking a trail or flexing at the gym. Even worse are the photos taken with members of the opposite sex. Are they a sibling?
Best friend? An ex? Same goes for your pet. Threesomers You're swiping through Tinder when suddenly a couple pops up.
Too much, too soon These ones set the red flags flying at full mast with their neediness. Do yourself a favour and un-match, quick-stat. Do you tell the friend?
