One of my male friends also started his new trip at the same time I did and discovered he was single. We both agreed that although though we were too firmly friend-zoned at the time to consider doing anything together, we should talk frequently about being single and generally support one another in the unfamiliar territory of dating and having a good time.
I put myself into it even though he was initially a little hesitant. Things are so fucking easy with Tinder. I was going out at least twice a week, and by dates I mean hookups with drinks! I had a great time learning about how fantastic and liberated casual sex can be, and I still do.
He was not as fortunate as he thought. He has a respectable enough appearance, but I believe that men on Tinder have it far harder than women, and he was only able to go on around one date for every five or so of mine. And he most certainly wasn’t succeeding on all of them!
