Hey so I'm 19 and was in the shittiest of relationships and was stupid for letting it happen for almost 4 years (all of high school except sem. 1 of freshman year and the last sem. of my senior year). I tried to go out on a date by asking a guy out at my college and he was down for it but never actually made plans with me. It's been almost a year and I want to date again. I would like to download Tinder because it is causal and I can always say no to men who just want sex (yes I'm sure that's many but still). I feel more comfortable talking online then meeting up. That's how almost all my friendships began so it's what I know best. My mom said no and I don't like going behind her back so I let it go (that was back mid-summer). Now it is almost 2018 and I've not talked to any boys nor gone out. I want to date again but I don't know why my mom is against Tinder. Hell, she met my dad on an OG chatroom in the 90's. Thoughts? I want her approval...
