Tinder Love

My partner and I had known each other since we were in 4th grade through mutual friends. I had always had a small distant crush on them but never thought anything of it, until we matched on tinder. We talked for two weeks on tinder and switched to text and we eventually met for a first date at the San Francisco MOMA. We both shared a love of art museums and movies, one of the main talking points when we first connected. After a year a a half, my partner, Lain proposed to me at one of the windmills in Golden Gate Park. A few weeks later I proposed at a small park near where we both live. Fast forward to September 2023, and we have been very happily married for 5 months.

Anthony and I both swiped right on Tinder on August 16th, 2022. Our first date was on September 1st, 2022 at Brookfield Zoo and we spent 9 hours together. Our second date was 2 days later, and we spent all day hanging out and getting to know each other better. We fell in love very fast since we both did major self work before we decided to be on a dating app to look for a relationship. Before we met each other -Anthony was on tinder for longer than I was- I was the type to download it and delete it after not putting much effort into swiping. I was a serial dater and he was a long term relationship type of guy. but after putting work into our profiles and swiping -we matched pretty quickly . After I recently downloaded it- swiped right on 2 people- he was the second person I swipped right on- and once we met we hit it off and now we are married! (3/20/24)

Thank you Tinder for helping me find my girlfriend of 6 years & fiancé of 2 years! We are getting married in June and we couldn’t be happier! We met back in Oct 2017 after talking on Tinder for almost a week. She’d just downloaded the app and I’d been on for on & off for a few years. We kissed that first date & it felt like fireworks! We were hooked on each other right away. We both realized very quickly how well we worked together & moved in together in 2020. I can’t wait to marry the love of my life & we have you guys to thank! Keep doing what you do! Love is out there!

When Samantha met Michael, she was not looking for my forever person. She had just started her business and career as a private investigator and had a lot going on. “I had officially entered my, yes I’m single, but now isn’t a good time era. So all my bio said was: ‘Sarcastic. Feminist. Asshole.’ I wanted everyone who saw my profile to know exactly what they were getting themselves into with me 😂 To my surprise, when I officially decided I wasn’t going to look anymore, that was when the universe brought me Michael 💕Since our first date, I have been unapologetically and authentically myself, with an, if he can’t handle me, then he doesn’t deserve me attitude. It has been a lot of work, and even more shadow work, for both of us. But being 100% myself and encouraging my partner to be his, is the most magical thing I’ve ever experienced. ✨Thank you Tinder”

Matthew and I matched on Tinder Fall of 2021 and I had zero hesitation when I swiped on his profile. Matt had the most beautiful eyes and I was immediately drawn to them. We were both recently out of relationships and weren't exactly looking to get into another one so soon. After a rough break-up I was scared to give love another try but I hadn't lost hope. Matt and I matched after a few swipes and we chatted for a couple of days. We exchanged contact information and soon found out we had so much in common. Matt asked me on a date a couple of weeks later and we had a fantastic time. At that time Matt was working out of state but came home to Plano for a couple of weeks. It was almost like he was there just to find me. I didn't have high hopes due to the long distance we would have for 6+ months. Shortly after Matt left to Colorado our connection kept getting stronger and overtime we agreed to give it a shot. Now 3 years later we have a one year old boy named Luka and we are getting married this December! Matt and I lived 2 streets away from each other but never ran into one another until we matched on Tinder. I am so thankful this app was created because it helped me find my way to Matthew. It is for sure a match made in heaven! Many people say we are the male/female version of one another.

We matched on Tinder in 2020, & met up nearly three weeks later, after Monte got a psychic reading: telling him love was coming his way. The psychic was right! As two proud First Nations men (Maori & Torres Strait Islander) from Australia & New Zealand, we share similar values of tradition & culture. We’re also both musicians, & not afraid to burst into song at any moment. I (Monte) even wrote a song for Will (listen here).

We returned to the psychic in 2023, & she predicted we were going to get married! Not long after, we saw the Big Tinder Wedding campaign in Australia & applied. We were chosen by Tinder as one of two lucky couples, & got married on Sydney Harbour, in February 2024. Thanks Tinder!

We started talking on the app in early October 2020. Honestly, I wasn’t looking for anything serious at first. But his humour and taste in music totally charmed me! He’s super chill, which really helps me day-to-day.

After 2 weeks of chatting, we decided to meet on Sunday 11 October 2020, at a little bar halfway between our cities. We spent 8 hours talking about everything and nothing.

The following Wednesday, just 3 days later, we were too impatient and went out to dinner together. And that’s when the magic happened.

By early November 2020, we had moved in together, travelled, laughed, had a fake wedding in Vegas, and never left each other’s side. Almost 4 years later, here we are with 3 cats, a house, and are planning our wedding ceremony to take place between two metal concerts, which is totally our favourite type of music!

Amanda first joined Tinder on 4 January 2021. That very same day, she matched with Miguel, and they’ve been together ever since 🩵

They met during COVID, when there were still many restrictions in place, so if it hadn’t been for Tinder, their paths would have never crossed.

What started with 3 first dates wearing face masks, continued with moving in together and adopting a kitten. And now, they are about to get married 💍

Before I met my boyfriend on Tinder, I have always seeked a casual fling on purpose. I never thought about being able to have a serious relationship on a dating app like Tinder. But then I matched with him and we fell in love naturally. We have been together for 2.5 years. Now I strongly believe it's not true to say we can never find true love on a dating app. Also what I love about Tinder is we can find lovers, friends, short term flings or whatever type of relationships we want.

Our love story started when I was afraid of love, seeking a gaming companion to ease my solitude and perhaps practice Japanese. Registering Tinder Gold to seek a Japanese friend, I discovered a profile of a guy seeking a gaming partner like me. Without much thought, we connected, grew closer, and shared our experiences. Fearful of repeating past love's pain with a Japanese partner, I intended to keep our bond platonic. However, his presence reassured me it was safe to be vulnerable, prompting me to confirm my emotions. Spontaneously, I booked a flight to Japan to meet him. Little did we know our emotions would sync, leading us to this enduring connection
