You can take your time on Facebook or move right along on Tinder. Either way, social media has changed the way people form relationships with each other. Matching apps like Tinder are quick and easy- just how some people like it. If you're a match, congratulations. If not, you'll never know-- no hard feelings. Swipe right for yes, swipe left for no. It's a judgment call, really. Based on a lineup of a couple of pictures linked from your Facebook account, can you really see yourself committing to a relationship with this man or woman? In my opinion, there's no way you can make that call on Tinder. In a relationship, true intimacy requires a deep understanding of each other, not a glance at someone's "assets." To me, as a person who has never used Tinder, it seems like more of a "Who's looking to hook up" type of thing.
Millions of relationships start and end on Facebook each year. Facebook offers a slightly deeper mode of connection. Rather than a quick swipe to the right, you have to send a friend request. From there, usually the poking, liking, and messaging follows. I think that is more work than discovering someone's interests in person, so I'll stick with the "old-fashioned" way. I have used Facebook as a means to look people up, but I have not and will not start looking for personal intimacy.
I found Nathan on Tinder. Swipe right lol!
