Hinge Takeover >>> Tinder, Bumble Pof

To answer the first question, yes. Which is kind of the main reason why I didn't hit her up on Friday.

Did you read the thread?

 

[rbk93]

Passive maybe. I personally don't think I fall into that category, but others have told me the same thing as far as stop telling them "it's cool" if they don't or can't meet up/no response (FTL Chick).

 

[Grine]

rbk93 Just be more direct with your intention. You set the date and time. Don’t ask. Let her/him tell you that’s “it’s cool.”

Most likely if she/he can’t do it, they’ll say “how about tomorrow instead? “Friday will be better for me after work.”

Take the lead.

I have. I actually talked to food truck when I got off yesterday last night and she went further into detail why her weekend was "hell." Not going into great detail, but suggested it wouldn't have been possible as is. She said specifically I'm heading home and I'll call you when I get there. Didn't happen and it wasn't the first time, I said if not tonight, tomorrow morning. Called her like 20-30 mins ago...no answer. It still is kind of early, but it's not the first time again. I can say not checking in Friday is my mistake.

Outside of pushing the issue on FTL Chick, I did once...no response...haven't bothered again. All communication since then has been shoe related...she's responsive to that at least.

 

[Grine]

Keep it pushing fam. Get back on the app, and build that bench back up.

She's responsive to shoe talk but not responsive to being taken out on a date talk? Dead that. You're not looking for a pen pal

Remind us your age again?

29 in March. Already explained my stance on that.

lmao. The him/her advice for the others. Not rbk93 directly.

Speaking to the mass on NT.

I'm kind of confused by the fact that all of these yambs seem to be taking pauses before re-engaging in conversation. Feels like watching a TV show with hella time jumps (word to the Insecure finale). Is there something we're missing from the conversations? I can understand some saying "Let's talk a later" or "I'll hit you back" but all of them doing it is odd.

Facts, had a chick hit me with I’m scared of the Covid so not trying to meet up. I just told her get off the dating app then and block her. Too many women out there to be waiting for any chick. Either she with it or not.

Your guess is as good as mine.

 

[アミーゴ]

At that point it’s just ball in their court and move on which it seems like you are doing.

 

[TURBO UNO]

FTL chick = If all she wants to talk about is shoes with you...cut her off. I’m assuming dating has been brought up and she wasn’t receptive.

FoodTruck girl = If a woman is into you, interested in you, attracted to you....she will ALWAYS make time for you. Even if it’s a small window of time she’ll make it happen. She didn’t bother to call you back even when she said she would. Move on from this one and maybe when her options of other men dry up/fall through she’ll call you. Either way, you don’t worry because there are many more women.

Just heard a story about a yamb who met a dude on an app, they went on a date, decided they would be better as friends and now they're actual platonic friends.

Y'all ever heard of these apps being used like this? I know Bumble has a BFF mode (whatever that is) but I couldn't down with that

 

[WesleyPipes]

I've made some friends on tinder granted we smashed but we became good friends afterwords go and see her son play basketball.

 

[Grine]

Met a couple on there and we’re still friends. You’re not going to have connection with every single woman you meet.

Some ppl you meet might vibe on a different level - not always sexual or romantic.

 

[dakingii]

Definitely made some friends off the apps. Some i smashed others just platonic.

 

[fluid hips]

Yea you'll have more success with these apps/women if you go in with no expectations.

Whatever happens happens

And don't get emotionally and monetarily invested. That's where alot of dudes mess up. You take a girl out to an expensive dinner and start expecting things in return because you're trying to recoup your "investment".

Take her on a cheap date and shorty starts acting up, you won't hesitate to drop her and move on

 

[TURBO UNO]

I’ve met a few who became just cool peeps. It was usually me not being into them like that or saw some red flags that made me friend zone them.

I do have bad tendencies though lol.

He's obviously leaving parts out/ giving terrible summaries.

All the stories are too similar. From Snapchat chick who "stood him up" to now

Like the the brunch plan all the "dates" seem to be tentative yet he schedules phone calls.

I told her I won't be 100% certain until Friday and she said that was cool.

From the jump though, she did say she would be free this weekend. I'll have to go through the chat log but she wanted me to meet her on short notice(well same day) but couldn't because of work.

The pauses come from him making a half *** moves then waiting for something magically materialize.

Like in his mind adding a chick on Snapchat," catching up" and reminiscing about grade school is a legitimate shot attempt.

Imagine his approach with strangers.
