Yes and no.

I was/am active on online dating after I broke up with a long term girlfriend (she got into a program across the country, I was doing clinical rotations, we drifted). So... less of a "hit it and quit it mentality" more of a "casual because I'm going who knows where in a few months". Which, plenty of girls I was with were fine with keeping it that way... but classmates?

Unmatch automatically. I don't need that kind of awkwardness.

Yes, and I went up to talk to her in school and she was like "I don't know what you're talking about." So that was that.

they probably swiped right on you just to see if you like them, just a confidence boost really

Not exactly...

My current BF is a fellow at our flagship hospital though.

Literally half of us are dating / seeing / hooking up with others of different professions within the school or different years. I don't think any of us are interested in each other from the way I see the dynamics of the class.

Hooking up in college is like playing a first-person shooter on easy with aim assist. Hooking up in med school is like playing it on veteran mode. No aim assist. Slightly worse consequences. Cheers.

Tinder wasn't a thing back then, but in the first months my intern year I messaged back and forth on OKC with someone and didn't go anywhere, then a couple month later she was briefly my senior on my IM rotation. We didn't really bring it up... obviously.

No, I have never couples matched with a classmate on Tinder or other dating app.

I'm a dude and I did this. Of course she didn't swipe right on me so there's that little difference

 

[Dares Dareson]

I will say this though, Tinder is pretty awesome in that the only way someone knows if you swiped right on them is if they also swipe right! Thus, there is no awkwardness if they are not interested in you. In contrast, if you send a classmate a message on OKCupid or Match or whatever---even a polite non-sexual one, it can be awkward as hell. Tinder is good. Tinder for president.

I haven't matched with a classmate in particular, but I have matched with someone I already knew. It seems like it would be awkward, but it really isn't. Since you already know the person you don't have to do all the stupid wooing over text messages that you have to do with a stranger. As soon as you match you just message the person, "Sweet! I always had the feeling you wanted the D. I already know where you live. On my way over."

Whats even more awkward is being a patient at a teaching hospital and have Match suggest your primary care doc/resident for you. Especially when you know he's
nowhere near 5'10 ....

I saw a lot of my classmates on tinder when I used it. Automatic left, even if I kind of liked them. No f**king way am I hooking up, with or dating a classmate. Maybe if I went to school in Hooverville, but I’m in NYC, where I have no excuse to open up that particular Pandora’s box.

 

[WiseOne]

Yes. However, I noticed as soon as I opened the matches tab she wasn't there lol
