A<\/span>s some of the brightest, and sassiest minds of my generation gathered in hordes to chant \u201cPyaar Ek Dhoka Hai\u201d to announce their cynicism to the world on Valentine\u2019s Day, Tinder <\/p>ended up being the one to take a oddly sanguine approach to modern dating. <\/span>\n\nIn their latest ad, Tinder, the app that all of our millennial selves have downloaded on our smartphones whether we like to admit it or not, introduces us to the <\/span>Tinder Girl<\/span><\/a>. We meet her in town, before accompanying her as she shimmies around Mumbai.<\/span>\n\nWe are a generation that has made our peace with the end of love and hope and all things bright and beautiful. Right from our ridiculous Valentine\u2019s Day shouting parties to our <\/span>nihilist memes<\/span><\/a> and an uncomfortably high quotient of self-awareness, we are not used to this optimism. We are a generation of pessimists who are looking for the nearest trendy coffee shop to drown in frappes and fuckbois. <\/span>\n\nThe Tinder Girl is not like that. She\u2019s dancing in the city, with a few right swipes, some left swipes, and generous matches for company, looking for <\/span>love<\/span><\/a> with a spring in her step. <\/span>\n\nIt takes all of one watch of this wordless 90-sec video featuring a dancing Tinderella to discern that the Tinder Girl isn\u2019t just a person. She is, instead a feeling we\u2019ve long buried under the practicality of responsibilities. She\u2019s that feeling of incomparable rush of blood to the head when we hold hands with someone we like. She\u2019s the embodiment of the tingly feeling that overpowers our body every time we zero in on someone we think is \u201cour person\u201d. Remember <\/span>La La Land<\/span><\/i>, and the romantic earnestness, devoid of the stain of cynicism, with which its lead couple pursues each other? That is what the Tinder Girl represents. <\/span>\n

At a time when romance is relegated to the furthest corner of our minds due to our casual indifference, the Tinder Girl is a reminder of all the exceptional feelings that dating can evoke within us \u2013 if we let it<\/blockquote>\nShe is also that endless smile painted permanently on our faces right after our first kisses, the one you try and hide in office meetings. She is the message you type on your screen, angled in a way so that no one can see what you\u2019re writing. <\/span>\n\nAt a time when romance is relegated to the furthest corner of our minds due to our casual indifference, the Tinder Girl is a reminder of all the exceptional feelings that dating can evoke within us \u2013 if we let it. In dancing with pure abandon, she tempts and encourages us to do exactly the same delicate romantic dance in our personal lives. The Tinder Girl then wants us to let go of our baggage and start something epic.<\/span>\n\nFor so long before the Tinder Girl, we\u2019ve all been conditioned to have a narrow<\/span> reading of dating \u2013 one where everyone was seemingly in a rat race with themselves to find Mr Right. Even though it was a race that consistently caused ample dejection, we let the 12-whistle pressure-cooker \u201chappily ever after\u201d ruin the exhilarating fun of dating.<\/span>\n\nAs a result, so much of our romantic worldview depended on a relationship\u2019s propensity to reach its fruitful end. It\u2019s a way of thinking that \u2013 outdated as it might be \u2013 is so ingrained in our systems that we\u2019ve become unable to function without giving any date a label. In our desperation to look for tangible happy endings wherever possible, we ended up quietly forgetting to look at dating and relationships as distinct facets of romance. In holding an assumption that romance is nothing without a destination, we\u2019ve forgotten how to date. <\/span>We\u2019ve forgotten what it\u2019s like to simply get to know someone <\/span>\u2013<\/span> discover them and allow ourselves to be discovered <\/span>\u2013<\/span> without comparing progress against a checklist.<\/span> Or maybe, we\u2019ve never known. <\/span>\n\nBut dating is an incredible thing. Remember the time when we saw dating as an evocative dance? Remember the thrill of meeting someone new, and finding out they like the same things as you do, but most importantly hate the same people as you do? Remember the uncomplicated joy of stepping out with a person who is as much into you as you are into him? That head rush? That moment in which you felt alive? Before we let the baggage of compartmentalising our dates into narrow description boxes take over us.<\/span>\n\nWe seem to have forgotten it. <\/span>And it took Tinder to remind us of this<\/span>. <\/span>\n\nThis post is sponsored by Tinder.<\/span><\/i>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
