11 Tinder Dating Success Stories

These Tinder dating success stories that we’ve collected for you may help you restore your faith in true love. Still skeptical about online dating? Good, then we have a real treat for you, because many couples on our list were just like you, before they got lucky and met their soul mate. Soul mate–perfect match–good partner. It doesn’t matter if you believe in soul mates or not, all that matters is that you have a sincere desire to meet a good person. Yes, it is that simple. And we’ll prove it to you, with these great examples of people getting great relationships through Tinder.

In this day and age, sometimes it seems that finding the right person is harder than it ever was before. For some, online dating apps are a joke and they don’t like them because the way of communicating seems very distanced or for some other reason. Whatever the case, there are many of those who just don’t give dating apps a chance, and we are here to present you with some stories that can maybe convince you otherwise. But remember one thing–it is all about taking a chance. Not only on the app, but also on the person whose image you are seeing, with whom you are starting a conversation or who looks funny on the first date. As we’ve learned on forums from people’s experiences while researching this topic, the most important thing is not to judge too fast, which is nowadays a very common problem and one of the causes of many people ending up alone. Since, with the development of technology, all sorts of information have become available to us, we all feel like we “know it all” (even though googling something is far away from actually knowing something), and some of us are becoming too superficial. But, we are not here to discuss bad influences of technology, or modern age issues in general, we are here actually to present you one of the good things that technology has given us – online dating apps. This time we’ll focus on Tinder as it is one of the most popular apps in the world, with an enormous number of users. This is far from the first time we are writing about this app, so you may want to check out some Funny Tinder Hook Up Stories we covered earlier.

Back to the main topic – to find some good Tinder dating success stories, we browsed the Internet and found many forums and sites that listed many examples. Although we do believe in love and luck, we were actually surprised to see how many people had success with this online dating platform. And out of so many Tinder love stories, we had a hard time of picking just 11 to present you with. How did we do it? Well, we tried to include everything – from good normal relationships that are unfortunately over, to those that ended up with starting a family. We also included experiences written both by men and women. Why did we include those relationships that are over you ask. Well, because a few normal relationships before you find your perfect someone are just a normal part of dating, and many would consider that successful as well. As we’ve said before, sometimes for some people it is hard to even find someone for a cup a coffee, so a 2-year long relationship that ended on good terms is also a successful story. But, don’t worry, we have even happier examples. We collected them from many personal experiences people posted on Reddit, Quora, from magazines and websites who decided to cover some great love Tinder stories as well, such as the inevitable Cosmopolitan, Business Insider, Brit + Co, to name a few.  If you are, however looking for only “casual” dates or should we say getting laid opportunities, we have also covered that topic already and you can get some useful tips from our article discussing 6 Easiest Ways to Get Laid on Tinder.

Now, without further ado, let’s start with those stories many lonely people on this planet are looking for–here are the most interesting Tinder dating success stories.

11. Normal, great girlfriend

A few years ago, we are guessing at the very beginning of Tinder, Michael Tudda posted his experience with this dating platform on Quora.  He wrote that Tinder matched him with his ex-girlfriend about whom he can say only good things. Why did they split up then? Because of distance, he had to move to Japan. You see, this is just another regular love experience, nothing is messed up because it came out of “online dating”. Michael Tudda concludes that you can find someone great easily on Tinder, if that is what you are looking for (i.e. you are not just looking for someone to get her/him in bed).

10. Tinder really works?

Dear reader, if you still don’t believe that Tinder can bring you happiness, at least in your love life (and what is more important than that?), then this example will help you change your beliefs, because one of the main actors in this love story, Andrea, was just like you. Prepare yourself, this one on the list of Tinder dating success stories is really nice. She never really had faith in Tinder, until she met Nathan. What is funny, is that at first he seemed far from the right person for her, because on his profile picture he was holding a baby, and she didn’t want to get involved with someone who already had kids. It turned out that the kid was his brother’s baby and he was just a loving uncle. To make the story short, Nathan managed to find a way to her heart by being different than all the other guys she met there – he put strong effort in their conversation, wanting to really get to know her. Even long distance didn’t stop them from functioning well, they both finished colleges and are still happy together.

9. The first and only real life date through the dating app

This story comes from a guy under the name Red_AtNight on Reddit, and it is very simple (as always is when men tell the story). They both swiped right, chatted only for a few minutes, and he didn’t waste any time – he asked her to meet him. She was the only woman he met in person on Tinder or any other online dating platform. And, apparently, it was a wise choice, as she is his wife now.

8. Girl across the table

Another guy story from Reddit, from a person under the name Part-Time Legend on our list of Tinder dating success stories. But this one is really interesting and original. He saw a beautiful girl in a coffee place, she was sitting at the nearest table so he could hear her speak. She was complaining about not being able to find a good guy on Tinder. He immediately downloaded the app, set the radius to closest and found her. Believe or not, they are still together.

7. Greatest Love

Another one from many Tinder success stories Reddit has provided us with. This one is posted from a girl, under the name greatestlove123, and the name she picked really says it all. She is engaged to be married to her boyfriend who she met on Tinder of course. In her own words, they clicked from the beginning, so they often forget that they met using this platform.

6. Finding love far away from home

Any travel enthusiasts here? Great, this story that ranks 6th on the list of Tinder dating success stories is perfect for you. Erika is a world traveler, and while she was in Bangkok, Thailand, she met Jon through Tinder. What can we say more, then that their date lasted far more than a typical date – they spend 5 hours together. They are now married, grateful for Tinder, which provided them with the opportunity to find each other far away from their homes. I am guessing they are now exploring the world together.

5. Right in front of your nose

Here’s another interesting one on our list of Tinder dating success stories. Danielle met her boyfriend on Tinder. The funny thing is that they never met before even though they went to the same college, he was eating at the same dining place where she prepared food, and working out at the same gym where she also worked at. I guess, Tinder helped them notice what was right in front of their noses – love.

4. Tinder is a joke! Or not?

There are many Tinder dating success stories about people who really didn’t believe in it, at first. That is the case of Sam Bischof, who shares his story on Quora. He registered on Tinder, just as a joke, but it turned out to be more than a joke – he met his wife there. And what is even more amazing, she met him on the first day after downloading the app. Anyone can say whatever they want, but fate is fate!

3. A small world

We are continuing our list of Tinder dating success stories with Jenny and Ben, that although being new Tinder users, really wisely used the opportunity Tinder provides. Okay, maybe wisely is not the right word, anyway they had real luck using this online dating platform, as they soon found each other. To make the story short, they are married now. What is interesting is that this story once again confirms that old saying that this a small world. It turned out that Ben’s parents had some friend in common with Jenny’s late father. “Hearing Ben’s parents tell ME stories about MY father was one of the most out of body experiences I’ve ever had.”

2. I will deactivate my Tinder account

If you are looking for some great Tinder dating success experiences because you are having bad one after bad one, and even thinking about deactivating your account we are glad you are reading this list of Tinder dating success stories. Alyssa was at the same point where you are now, and she opened the app just to erase her profile, but then saw Josh’s face. She couldn’t resist and decide to give him a chance for chatting 24 hours. This was enough for them to set up a real date, and Josh was really original – he took her to one of those places where you get to drink wine and paint. If you are interested in those kind of places, check out – 6 BYOB Painting Classes in NYC, and have the best date of your life! What makes this story more interesting is that her mom and his aunt who had been close friends for many years tried to set them up before, but they refused.  But, as we all know you can’t escape your fate – they are now engaged and moving in together.

1. Mr. Right

Rachel wasn’t new to Tinder and at the time she met him on the app, she was already chatting with many guys, but, of course, she had no problem recognizing who was Mr. Right. They fell madly in love, and Jason, who never forgot how they met, sent her a Tinder message asking her to marry him. He was kneeling down beside her, of course. What more to tell, except that they family now counts three people.
