Grindr.Yes, I was on Grindr, so it doesn’t take a brain box to work out that I was after a sitch between the sheets and not on the streets. ‘Oh, wait, you know who I am? This sounds like trouble,’ I answered, wondering what trap I was walking into. With palpable sass, he said, ‘Indeed, but clearly you have absolutely no idea who I am, eh?’ I confess, I did not!A year earlier, I’d been on the hunt for something a touch more serious than a casual tumble – only on Tinder, not the gay meatmarket that is Grindr. I’m into quirky facial features over classic good looks, and because the latter is apparently more common, my collection of matches was depressingly paltry. However, among my reciprocated right-swipes on Tinder was a cute French PhD student, and he actually bothered to strike up a conversation – a rarity on any dating app these days. We exchanged a few brief DMs on the platform’s chat function before quickly graduating to WhatsApp for convenience. After a couple of weeks, I regretted dishing out my digits when it became clear his banter didn’t cut the Dijon.  His lack of curiosity was the biggest issue – when you’re the one asking all the questions, a convo quickly begins to feel like a job interview. And so I committed the ultimate dating sin: ghosting. Horrid, I know.
