When your "girlfriend" still has Hinge as her last name on your phone πŸ‘€

Probably just saying "I'll change it later" every time it's noticed, probably

EDIT: Forgot to add a second probably. Wait, that's probably the third. Fuck.

What if that really is her last name lol?

Man, if that's her real name, the spoonerism is just too much.

Is "hinge" supposed to mean something?

Hinge is a popular dating app. People (including me) will first add someone to their contacts list with the app you matched on as their last name.

Fascinating; never heard of it.

I gave up on dating sites a decade ago because they don't work. Only ever found love the natural way. Plenty of Fish even put me in their special club because apparently I'm more attractive than the average person. Still never got a single message in my inbox. No replies ever, either.

What's online dating like? What's it feel like to actually get a match? I'm married now so I'll never use them again.
