If You’re Stuck, Start With the Feeling, Not the Event

If you don’t know how to answer this Tinder prompt, start by asking what feeling you’d love to experience for the first time again. 

Think about awe, freedom, pride, connection, nervous excitement, or even the satisfaction of proving yourself wrong. 

Then work backward: When did you first feel that way? The answer often leads to a more personal story than simply listing your biggest experiences.

For example:

Feeling: Freedom
“My first solo train ride with no one waiting at the other end.”

Feeling: Nervous excitement
“Walking onto a stage for the first time and forgetting I was terrified the second the lights came on.”
