Tinder addicts in the house say hayyyyy.

It's true, Tinder is my favorite past time. I'm an all-day swiper. Wake up. swipe. Metro. swipe. Toilet. swipe. Important meeting at work. swipe. The cycle never ends!

Online dating and dating apps are awesome because you get to meet so many interesting people. However, if you choose to use them, you have to be okay with the fact that you're going to meet just as many terrible ones.

So I, your resident online dating expert, have hand-selected these FMLs to guide you as you make your way through the 4 Stages of Online Dating.

Step 1: Building Your Profile

Step 2: Exchanging Messages

Step 3: The First (And Probably Only) Date

Step 4: Giving In And Giving Up

Now that you've read the guidelines, you're ready to get on out there and play the field. You might want to bring some pepper spray on you, though. You know, just in case...

Good luck!
