Who could resist this great conversationalist? 

I do not miss being on dating apps. One of the most underrated parts of being in a relationship is that I am no longer socially pressured to go on Hinge because, apparently, that's the only way to avoid being alone. I was lucky enough to meet my partner in real life, so I don't have to deal with the awkward experience of telling people "we met on Bumble." I deleted all my dating app accounts before we even became official, both because I was so into my partner and because I hated using them.

By far the worst part of dating apps is texting some random stranger for weeks, only to meet them and realize that they're a total dud. You can't always tell if somebody's cool over text, but you can often tell if they're uncool. The guy in this story was talking with a woman on Tinder. Well, he was talking to her, but she wasn't doing any talking back.

  • He's definitely putting in effort, but she's not reciprocating the effort.

  • If you have a weird interaction on Tinder and you don't screenshot it and put it online, did it even happen?

    tupelobound OP I did—just thought it was funny

  • She's asking a lot of her future mate

    SousVide Diaper Their bio alone is enough to know that they're not worth talking to

  • At least she likes science!

    Initial_Tear_5099 For real her "interests" can be reduced down to having someone spend money on her.

  • This guy seems sweet, I hope he finds someone who is right for him sooner rather than later

    tupelobound OP I mean im not above buying someone dinner and drinks and making out a bit with no bigger goals in mind
    via u/tupelobound
  • Initial Tear_5099 Gonna buy her those new outfits to wear on the weekend getaways that you paid for too? Lol no hate but that's clearly what she's angling for. I bet she would've perked up if you'd suggested dinner, drinks, etc.

  • That would've taken too much effort, and we know how she likes to be wined and dined by her suitors.

  • It's like how other people can say that you're popular, but you can't, because it makes you sound like a tool

    Medical Apartment155 People who say theyre classy, seldom are. They just try to be in a way they think it matches their idea of it.

  • I can't handle anyone who uses that phrase unironically

    Lopsided_Marzipan133 It's the same people who wear "if you can't handle me at my worst, you don't deserve me at my best" on a t-shirt

  • Was she a female pickup artist or something?

    boom1ng I once matched with a self-proclaimed 'conversation expert' whose bio promised elite banter, yet she handed out one-word replies like they were on ration. After pulling teeth for four rounds, I finally hit her with, 'So much for the master conversationalist.' Ironically, that sparked her longest reply yet; a furious defense of her chat skills. I just unmatched and moved on

  • Some of my best friends are bad texters

    Jasalapeno I genuinely think these women don't know they're doing this. I matched with this girl that I ended up really liked hanging out with in person, but she was was a god awful texter and when I finally told her, she was so surprised. They're just so ~ casual~

  • It is hard to have full-fledged conversations with 10 different strangers at the same time

    KillingPixels-1 I think the problem comes from quantity. Most girls I know are getting overwhelmed with likes and matches so they naturally spend less time trying to win you over. They have choice. It's sad but unfortunately common.

  • Even if you're sick of answering questions about your job on Tinder, you should at least give others more than a one word answer

    lilhazzie < AT&T LTE 5:58 PM 44% English Yes Yesterday 7:33 PM What is your favorite subject to teach? Today 5:14 PM Now is it true that teachers play videos on days that they're hungover? Today 5:37 PM Today 5:57 PM It's cool to know that if you ever need a career change that you would make a good dentist, because this conversation is like pulling teeth.

  • I have done this on Hinge with people I went on one date with! It's the bare minimum before going on a date

    BucketOfGuts I met my wife online 11 years ago and the messages we opened up with, at least at beginning, were literally paragraphs and essentially having multiple conversations at once, with each paragraph being a different conversation. Paragraph one is about what we do for a living, paragraph two is about something funny she read on my profile, paragraph three is about sports, paragraph four is what we're doing this weekend. We literally couldn't learn enough about each other right off the ba

  • AshClap28 Any girl who has "I'm pretty" in her bio is a terrible choice
    via u/AshClap28
  • ThelrishHawk I'm not in the dating scene but I am in the "trying to make friends" scene and I'm in groups where people are like "I'm so lonely, I just want someone to talk to" and literally every chat on there ends after a few messages like this. I don't get it.
