So Here's What Happened When I Sent My Tinder Matches Twilight Quotes

Somewhat predictably indeed, he didn't wait too long to drop a sexual reference. But "in all seriousness," he decided to bring a droplet of romance into it with some (hopefully chilled) champagne.

For context, my Tinder bio stated that I "love a good pad Thai." It was hard sticking to just quotes with this one since, if you don't know, they don't chat about Thai food all that much in Twilight. I mean, there is a restaurant scene halfway through but Bella orders mushroom ravioli, not fried rice, so I couldn't really use it.

As I said, he didn't want to depart from the Thai restaurant topic at all. So, when I, not-so-subtly, suggested we should, he promptly unmatched me. The key to this guy's heart must really be through his stomach.

This dude, while a little spooked, seemed to be down to go with the flow and see where my very extra messages led.

Then again, even the most patient ones have their limits. Finally fed up, he responded with all frankness with a message that made me laugh out loud. When I later disclosed my true motivations, he said he found my remarks quite intriguing and that he "just figured you were smarter than me an I wasn't understanding your references." Humble, indeed.

It took a while for him to respond to me but when he did, he seemed more than happy to go along with anything I sprung on him.

You can't really claim a word to be a quote but hey, psychic Alice does say the word "mirrors" as she speed-draws Bella's old ballet studio. In this case it brought Justin Timberlake into the conversation.

Wasting no time, I just laid all of my cards on the table with this guy.

Then he proceeded to call me a child and sent a gif of a baby lamb bottle-fed by a puppy. I gave him a couple points back for the cute visual but decided to end it with that.

I had this quote ready for one poor guy that I'd scare the crap out of and well, it kind of worked. He seemed very flustered and, not understanding what he did wrong, proceeded to keep asking if I wanted to talk about something else. I didn't have the heart to keep going to I spilled the beans right then and there.

I wasn't sure if I was the more intense one with this particular repartee. Starting off with a remark on my first profile photo, he went all in, wasting no time. Not only did this guy not seem weirded out by anything I said, he hit me with equally impassioned replies and then asked if I wanted to meet up that same night. His bio did say "the best ones are the crazy ones" though so then again, maybe I should've unanticipated this.

When I confessed to my real intentions to him, however, he said he was already aware of the source of my quirky messages and that he even responded with a Twilight quote of his own!

I was so impressed I even misspelled "missed" in my reply.
