I used to love Tinder. I think the key is to keep expectations low and just go along for the story. Boy did I get some great stories from that dear app.
I was once swiping mindlessly and stumbled across this profile that cracked me up. This guy was cute, funny, and entirely wholesome with a bit of self-deprecating humor that drew me in. We both swiped right and talked for a bit before we planned to meet up.
It was one of the best Tinder dates I ever went on. We hit it off immediately. He was really attractive and a great conversationalist. We were both from a conservative part of the country and made fun of weird parts of our home culture compared to the city we live in. He did impressions and tipped the waiter really well (I was in the service industry for years so folks always get extra points when they do this), so I was sold.
We went to dinner and then out for drinks. I had never laughed so hard on a date.
