Guy Books Flight To Finland To Meet Man He Just Met On Grindr Without Even Knowing His Name First, And The Internet Has Opinions

Some peoples' New Year's Resolutions in 2020 were probably to take more risks.

Maybe to jump into things without overthinking it more and more.


And some people have taken that to its truest extreme, such as Tim Wright, from London, who went overseas to meet a guy he had just started talking to--on Grindr.

Tim Wright started talking to his anonymous Grindr sweetie on the morning of January 22nd.

"It was boilerplate Grindr fodder, 'what do you do?', 'what are you into?', exchange with a couple of pics," Wright told PinkNews.

"He told me that he lives in West London and was free to meet tonight, or after he gets back from his weekend away in Helsinki and jokingly said: 'Unless you wanted to come to Helsinki?'"

Wright decided now was the time to put his hypothetical New Years' Resolution into effect.

"Twenty minutes later and I've booked my flights with Finnair. Another five minutes later and he gave me his name and number!"

A blind date to Helsinki—no name required!






But go to Helsinki and enjoy his blind date, Tim did.

He posted all over Twitter about it while it was happening.





So though it didn't become the romance meet-cute (and meet-without-knowing-anything-about-the-other-person) that we were hopeful for, it's still a great story.

"It's...a better first date than getting too drunk in a Wetherspoons and making out in a back alley," concluded Wright.

Yep....definitely classier, at least!

Trump Accidentally Roasts Himself With Ironic Question About 'Stupid People'

President Donald Trump was widely mocked after he attempted to defend his disastrous tariff strategy to reporters in the Oval Office on Wednesday and issued a rhetorical question about "stupid people" that said more about him than anyone else.

Trump would later declare a full 90-day suspension of all the “reciprocal” tariffs that took effect at midnight April 10—except for those on China—in a dramatic about-face from a president who had long championed his historically high tariff rates as permanent.

As one of the Overseas Countries and Territories of the European Union, Greenland’s citizens are also recognized as EU citizens.
