Tinder crashed on Monday for five hours leaving millions restless and dateless.

Users all over the UK, Europe and parts of US reported having trouble using the dating app.

Tinder launches Social to let users hang out in groups

Messages weren't being sent, matches were deleted and there were problems even logging in. It is the second time in weeks the dating app has gone down, Daily Mail reported.

While it is still unclear what caused the issue, many people reacted in a hilarious way across social media:

My tinder is not working, this is seriously getting on the way of my search for a future bride 👰🏻

Yoo @Tinder are you gonna address your server problems or are we all going to die alone? #tinderdown

In September, the app crashed causing issues for many of its users, but again, Tinder did not comment on what had caused the problem. We just hope the broken hearts are healed and lost hopes are recovered by now.

Rebirth | 7 years ago | Reply This app is used by stalkers. They make catfish profiles to lure people in to swipe right and/or left to make your, what is otherwise known as, 'porn profile'. It is to see who you're sexually attracted to. It works on so many people but if your taste is varied, the software/system can never get it right. Which is why we must appreciate all kinds of beauty so that you cannot be profiled. This app would never make it to Pakistan so who cares about profiling folks here? They have Badoo as a replacement for Tinder though, so maybe that can be used. But realistically, it doesn't really matter. No one has any taste here. Women like lanky and rich men. The men like pale women. That's all they care about in Pakistan, a country of largely frustrated and shallow people. They've made Muslim Tinder apps and just comparing the kind of women on there with mainstream tinder would show that you're far more likely to find that "good, Muslim girl" among non-Muslim white, Asian and black chicks than among the 'good, Muslim girls'. Now this is definitely not something to brag about but its true. Men in this part of the world have learned to accept a woman's past love life in a far more tolerant way than in the west where if a girl has slept with more guys than the guy has with girls, they call it quits.
