Tinder love

Did anyone else meet their FH on Tinder? We did and we keep telling family we met at college because we don't want them to know and think the worst of us. Especially our parents. I'm kind of worried it will get out at the wedding and emarassing stories will ensue. Just looking for some comforting...

    My FH and I met on OkCupid, and his best friend met his fiancé on Tinder, I never felt ashamed about it, it’s pretty normal nowadays. Some people were initially surprised but it’s always better to be honest about it. Especially for me since I’m a terrible liar lol

    We met through Discord when an ex friend invited me to her channel. It was such a weird story that we haven't decided what we will tell people if it comes up.

    We met on match.com. We are totally open about it. The truth would come out eventually if we did try to hide it 🙂 When people ask, I just laugh and tell them; I’ve never gotten a rude comment about it, ever.

    Dont feel ashamed. Just feel lucky you met!!

    I met my FH on plenty of fish as well and we were both a little iffy telling people. We actually lived right down the road from each other and our paths crossed dozens of times but we probably never would've actually met if we hadn't done the online dating thing. Online dating is so normal now that it sucks we have to feel ashamed of it.

    I direct messaged him on instagram. I’m thinking after the ceremony we’re going to play “it goes down in the DM”, when we walk back down the aisle. Embrace it, everyone meets online. Not only that but who cares, no ones perfect.

    Pof relationship here! But ours is kinda different because we first met on pof- but were both in different places at the time so we exchanged numbers and because we were on the same profession we added each other on Facebook but that was it. Fast forward to 7 months later, I joined his fantasy football team- we reconnected and have been inseparable since then.

    i don’t lie to anyone, but certain people I don’t tell exactly how we met (we are both ministers so it kinda looks bad to the old ladies 🙄) but for everyone else they know we met online in some capacity Smiley smile

    My FH and I met on POF. We have a back up story though. We also worked in the same hospital at the time so we tell everyone we met at work. It’s not a big deal lol

    I texted a "total stranger" for a month only knowing that he went to my school and he saw me at cheer. Be nonchalant when opening up about it, i found was best. When I started telling it like it was nbd people didn't freak as much.

    I don't think meeting on Tinder is that crazy. People in college want to meet up and it's kind of expected!

    My DH and I met on match.com and are open about it especially since we both posted our profile on the same night and he was the first guy to reach out to me (though as I like to remind him, not the last, lol!). I think most people now have tried online dating, especially if you are a professional and don't have much time to meet people. It certainly doesn't have the same stigma it did 20 or more years ago, and even if it did, who cares? Love is a wonderful thing no matter how it happened.

    My my FH met on Tinder too!
    We tell people “online”in general and if they actually ask which site which is rare. I’m honest with them! It’s so much more cmmon to met online it’s no longer Taboo, yes Tinder has DTF reputation but sometime you find the one your DTF forever! Cheers to Tinder wedding

    So many people meet online nowadays. I can’t tell you how many social media posts I’ve seen, “thank God we swiped right!” or “I’ll alwayd swipe right on you!” It’s not really taboo anymore. My family asks soooo many questions haha there’s no way I would ever get away with “we met in college,” and that’s all they’d want to know. I would be honest with them. It will be incredibly hurtful to your family members if it gets out at the wedding (which it might if your friends know the truth) and they find out you’ve been lying to them for years and possibly crafting up false stories (depending on how many follow up questions you get). Nothing to be ashamed of!
