LIFESTYLE<br />

By Becca Murdoch<br />

Model: Donna Pate<br />

<strong>No</strong>pe.<br />

<strong>No</strong> thank you.<br />

<strong>No</strong>t a chance in hell.<br />

These were just a few — and some<br />

of my milder thoughts — on using<br />

millennial dating app/hook-up platform,<br />

Tinder. We’ve all heard horror<br />

stories about online dating, most of<br />

them the warnings of our tech-wary<br />

mothers, and we’ve all made our fair<br />

share of snarky comments about apps<br />

like Tinder.<br />

I am not excluding myself from the<br />

mix. I too resisted Tinder from the getgo,<br />

but out of curiosity found myself<br />

downloading the app and consequently<br />

spending hours swiping away through<br />

hundreds of Tuscaloosa’s most eligible<br />

bachelors. Despite matching with<br />

quite a few guys, I refused to pull the<br />

trigger and let anything happen.<br />

Call it what you will — my mother’s<br />

warnings subconsciously warding<br />

me off, fear of being kidnapped<br />
