HELLO WORLD!
This post makes me a little embarrassed but I must tell you what happened to me when I used one of these applications to meet people, before in my city everything was easier to make friends and meet people to go out, but because people emigrated the city was running out of young people and at the same time I feel that on my side the pandemic also helped to close the doors a little, I became more lonely...
Un día de la nada me cansé y decidí ampliar mi circulo amistoso, también quería conocer a una persona para poder salir y tener citas, pero como ahora todo es mas fácil con la tecnología dije porque no! y descargue una aplicación llamada Tinder, básicamente te muestra las personas que tienen cosas en común contigo y que se encuentran cerca de ti y si a ti te gusta y el a ti hacemos match y podemos enviarnos mensajes.(una mala idea)
One day out of the blue I got tired and decided to expand my friendly circle, I also wanted to meet a person to go out and date, but now everything is easier with technology I said why not! and downloaded an application called Tinder, basically it shows you the people who have things in common with you and who are near you and if you like him and he likes you we match and can send messages.(a bad idea).
al principio la usaba para ver a quien de mis amigos encontraba en esa aplicación y cuando los veía les escribía para reírnos un poco, no era muy serio el uso de Tinder ya que no me gustaba nadie y la persona que me gustaba no hacia match conmigo. Con el tiempo logré coincidir con algún chico pero estaban a kilómetros de mi así que solo podíamos enviarnos mensajes y de hecho logre hacer amistad con algunos, pero seguía sin gustarme alguno como para arriesgarme a una cita.
At the beginning I used it to see who of my friends I found in that application and when I saw them I wrote to them to laugh a little, it was not very serious to use Tinder because I did not like anyone and the person I liked did not match with me. Eventually I managed to match with some guys but they were miles away from me so we could only send messages and in fact I managed to make friends with some of them, but I still didn't like any of them to risk a date.
Un día decidí revisar la aplicación para ver si aparecían mas personas interesantes y logré conseguir a una y logramos hacer match, el me habló enseguida y teníamos muchas cosas en común aunque no hablábamos de nuestra vida personal solo de cosas tontas como comidas o ejercicios y aquí entra la primera (Red flag) cuando le pedí su Instagram me dijo que no tenia redes sociales pero que me podía dar su numero y dije okay no hay problema, seguimos hablando por un día y al otro día yo tomé la iniciativa y le dije que lo quería conocer, el acepto y quedamos en un sitio publico a comernos un helado.
One day I decided to check the application to see if there were more interesting people and I managed to get one and we made a match, he talked to me right away and we had many things in common although we did not talk about our personal life only about silly things like food or exercise and here comes the first (Red flag) when I asked him for his Instagram he told me that he did not have social networks but he could give me his number and I said okay no problem, We kept talking for a day and the next day I took the initiative and told him I wanted to meet him, he accepted and we met in a public place to eat an ice cream.
llegó la hora y el me escribe: ya estoy en el lugar y yo le dije okay ya voy para allá, cuando llegué me di cuenta que no era como en las fotos pero igual nos saludamos y fuimos a comprar el helado, lo noté muy callado y de la nada me dice: sabes algo? tengo algo que hacer y me tengo que ir (solo llevábamos 2 min en la cita) yo solo lo miré y le dije: como? no entiendo...el se dio la espalda y se fue dejándome sola en el lugar, yo lo noté un poco asustado, mi cabeza no dejaba de trabajar pensé en muchas cosas, pensé que no era lo suficientemente bonita y que no era lo que el se esperaba pero luego miré mis fotografías y soy totalmente real en ellas, también pensé que me pudo haber hecho algo malo y no pudo o que a lo mejor tenia esposa y había visto a alguien conocido por eso estaba tan asustado.
the time came and he wrote me: I'm already at the place and I told him okay I'm going there, when I arrived I realized that he was not like in the pictures but we still said hello and went to buy ice cream, I noticed him very quiet and out of nowhere he told me: you know something? I have something to do and I have to go (we were only 2 minutes into the appointment) I just looked at him and said: how? I do not understand? he turned his back and left leaving me alone in the place, I noticed him a little scared, my head did not stop working I thought about many things, I thought that I was not pretty enough and that I was not what he expected but then I looked at my pictures and I am totally real in them, I also thought that he could have done something bad to me and he could not or that maybe he had a wife and had seen someone he knew and that is why he was so scared.
Al final vi mi teléfono y me había bloqueado de Tinder y de WhatsApp, todo fue muy raro, al investigar descubrí que no era de mi ciudad era un tipo de 39 años y chileno que no se que estaba haciendo ni en que trabajaba, lo que si se es que no voy a volver a usar esa aplicación y que algo en ese momento me salvo de lo peor y entendí que las cosas no se deben forzar. ustedes se preguntaran que hice o a donde fui y les diré que estaba tan antojada de algo dulce que me termine comprando un waffle con helado y lo disfrute con dos amigos que llegaron a mi rescate y esa fue mi historia de Tinder, espero que aprendan como yo!.
In the end I saw my phone and he had blocked me from Tinder and WhatsApp, everything was very strange, when I investigated I discovered that he was not from my city, he was a guy of 39 years old and Chilean that I do not know what he was doing or what he was working on, what I do know is that I will not use that application again and that something at that moment saved me from the worst and I understood that things should not be forced. You may wonder what I did or where I went and I will tell you that I was so craving for something sweet that I ended up buying a waffle with ice cream and I enjoyed it with two friends who came to my rescue and that was my Tinder story, I hope you learn like me.
