The Tinder Etiquette

Okay, so you have a match on Tinder. So, now what do you do? Talk to the dude, wait for them to contact you? There's so much openness that it's scary. You don't want to be labeled as creepy, however you don't to miss that opportunity to talk to that stud. 
One of the nice things about talking to virtual strangers on the internet is that you don't know much about them. You don't know about their story, and they don't know much about you. It provokes you to get to thinking about whose behind the screen, and it even provokes you to be more flirty than you would be in real life. Not just in virtual. 
Therefore, you must wonder if this is a good thing, because it eggs you on to take more chances, or a bad thing because you don't know who you're talking to. You don't know if everything that their saying is the actual thing. And that scares the living hell out of me, because I've watched a lot of Catfish episodes. You know the ones that when their online partners don't turn out the way that they thought that they were. Therefore, it provoked several freak outs on my part since this blog started, maybe to the point where this project could end altogether. 
However, back to what this blog entry was supposed to be on. Basically, in the world of the Tinder, one thing and one thing only could be concluded. If you like someone, say hi to them. You don't know them, yes. But it's less awkward because you both are into the virtual world where you talk versus trying to get to know each other. And if someone doesn't turn out the way that you plan? Well, there's always that handy dandy block button.
