If the single life just isn’t for you but creating a Match.com profile makes you feel middle-aged and desperate, Tinder may be the app for you.

Tinder was created specifically to help college kids find companionship, though anyone can make a profile.

The app is pretty simple; you connect it to your Facebook account and you’re shown pictures of similarly-aged people in your area with mutual friends or interests, and you decide whether you’re interested. The people you “like” are not informed unless they “like” you too, setting up for an opportunity to become acquainted while avoiding the embarrassment of rejection.

The app’s simple and fun nature is what makes it popular with Langley students.

“I have a lot of fun using Tinder, it’s always funny to come across friends of mine,” said sophomore Alexa Smith.

Sophomore Weston Simonides also enjoys using the app, saying “Whenever I get matched up with someone, I find the app makes it easy to break the ice, like a polar bear.”

Other students discover Tinder less entertaining, finding it to be a poor substitute for dating as it is primarily based on looks and doesn’t provide users with much of an opportunity to get to know someone before passing judgment.

“I think it’s kind of stupid; it’s better to find out who you may be compatible with in person, instead of letting an app do it for you,” said junior Callie Jablin.

“I guess it’s a little superficial but it’s all in good fun,” added Simonides.

There are, of course, many students who have no preference for or against Tinder at all.

“I have no need to use Tinder, when Langley is like one giant Tinder in itself,” observed senior Kyle Dear.

Whether you’ll be making a profile anytime soon, Tinder is changing the way young people date, minus the most frightening part of interacting with the opposite sex: rejection.
