Michelle Dean Quotes

Tinder is the ultimate gamification of romance. It's 'Pokemon Go' for the heart.

No offense to people who go on Tinder but I just feel like it's ruining romance, I really do.

I'm on all the apps: Tinder, Grindr, Bumble, Scruff. I have no shame about that.

We all Tinder in life. We all look at somebody and go: 'OK, swipe right.'

What people don't realize is that Tinder built a brand on more than the experience of the swipe.

Nothing is more exciting than getting a match. I don't care who you are! It's fun. And there is nothing better for curing boredom than Tinder.

I have used dating apps a couple of times in the past and met people, but it is a difficult thing because you're meeting someone who you really don't know and you have no link to. I have friends who have had great relationships after meeting on Tinder or Bumble, so I'd never say never, but it hasn't worked for me.

I'm way too famous and rich to be on a dating app, but if I get very desperate by the time I'm 60, I'll go on Tinder. Or I'll go on 'Millionaire Matchmaker'; I'll call Patti Stanger.

I actually don't think about Tinder.

Tinder - man, what's that all about? Tinder, where you're just, like, shopping for a human being. Reading the stats like 'Mortal Kombat.' You're like, 'Oh, he's got six arms, and he's only got the two, so I'll probably go with the six arms.' I don't want to do that with human beings.

I'll be on Tinder until the day I die.

In the digital age, there is a new rule book for romance.

With all the things like Tinder and these different online sites that people use, 'Love Island' actually goes back to the traditional side of dating.

I'm on Grindr, Scruff, Match.com. That's the way everyone meets these days, three of my friends have got married after meeting on Grindr.

I've hung out and dated people I've never even met before.

We live in a world where it's so accessible to date now, which is great. I don't judge that. We have so many ways of meeting people. I like to meet someone and have that chivalry, to take them out on a date and actually be a gentleman. I think that's becoming rarer and rarer.

One day you and I will have to have a little talk about this business called love. I still don't understand what it's all about. My guess is that it's just a gigantic hoax, invented to keep people quiet and diverted. Everyone talks about love: the priests, the advertising posters, the literati, and the politicians, those of them who make love. And in speaking of love and offering it as a panacea for every tragedy, they would and betray and kill both body and soul.

Most people unfamiliar with the men in a new town might search for love until they find it. I picked out some guy on my second day in LA, who worked at the local bicycle shop, and handed my virginity to him. “You can fill a tire? Sounds good to me. Let's call it a date.” Needless to say he wasn't Mr. Right.

I've spent a lot of time in my life dedicating myself to love or the pursuit of love or the understanding of love... I’ve stopped believing in happy endings. I’ve started believing in good days.

When I was single and on Tinder, that was a good little "Hey, did you ever see this movie?" thing. I would never bring it up myself, but if they mentioned it, then cool, that could work for me. But then on the other hand, if they're like a superfan, that could be weird if that's all they're seeing. They think of you as that character more than who you actually are.

The most heartbreakingly poignant modern love story ever written.

I've never done online dating.

Love in modern times has been the tailor's best friend. Every suitor of the nineteenth century spends more than his spare cash on personal adornment. A faultless fit, a glistening hat, tight gloves, and tighter boots proclaim the imminent peril of his position.

Love and used Subarus were two different things. Weren't they?

Love is also like a coconut which is good while it is fresh, but you have to spit it out when the juice is gone, what's left tastes bitter.
