As a single adult of a certain age many question if I am really doing all that I can to get married. For the past several days I have been experiencing an internal conflict. Although highly active online, and with technology, there is one Kolumbian naiset naimisiin app that I just can’t seem to wrap my mind around: Tinder. To be honest my opinion on the matter was formed very quickly. However, what I did not expect was that nearly everyone was in disagreement with me.
As I sat on my bed chatting with my former mission companion one day, we talked about how life was going a little differently than we had planned. With a sudden turn she said, “Sister Dewey will you pray to know if you should get a Tinder” I laughed out loud and thought she was joking. After a few more minutes of discussion I realized she was quite serious. It seemed in her mind that it was every single adult’s answered prayer. She even committed me to pray right there in front of her. (I think I reminded her of the insincere investigator. You know, the kind of prayer that wasn’t very heartfelt because I already made up my mind). My prayer went something like this, “Heavenly Father, Mariana told me to ask you if Tinder was something I should do. I have absolutely no desire to even consider the matter. If you really want me to use this, it will take a giant slap across the face because I am not convinced. Amen”
Trying to put out my feelers I asked my coworker what she thought about Tinder
Since I was pretty shocked by her reaction I found myself talking with my roommate about it. Surprisingly, she also felt that it was a good thing. She even took out her iPad and showed me how it worked. Simply swipe right if you think someone is attractive. From her experience, many good conversations began. She enjoyed talking with each young man. There was one time however that she found herself in a tricky situation. She had set up to meet one of the guys she’d been conversing with.
