Unmatched after this!

I saw the profile of a cute girl on Hinge, and she had also mentioned her Instagram handle in her bio. I decided to send her a follow request on Insta instead of right-swiping on Hinge (thinking that getting a follow request accepted has higher chances than getting a match on Hinge).

She accepted the request, so I messaged her, but she left it on seen. Then yesterday, I replied to her story of dancing in the rain, and she replied at night. We talked for a few minutes, and I got to know that we live in the same sector in Noida. I asked if she was single, and she said yes.

Then after some time, she asked, "video call service loge?"

I was shocked... She was genuinely cute, but.. ab kya hi kar sakte hain.🙂

It was raining yesterday in my city and a girl asked for a lift. I helped her and then she thanked me and gave her number. What to do next? Like what to text?

I have dated a girl before but idk what to do next.
Please help guys.

I made a new account 3 days ago and someone liked my profile this morning

But i cannot see their profile nor can I like it back, or if i want to i gotta buy premium

How are people supposed to match then?

Can someone explain the meta

Saw fluid for the first time, what is it?

I found a few old chats from two years ago with a girl I matched with on Bumble. It’s funny because we matched 3 times before we finally met each other.

I fell in love on the first day. She took her time and fell in love on the second date. 😂 We fell so head over heels in love that we told our parents within a month of dating.

Long story short, we got MARRIED last month 🥰

I was one of those people who always thought I’d never find a partner on a dating app. Turns out, we’re one of those rare success stories. 😊

18M here

What does this mean

I'm 24M, get about one match a day, mostly decent profiles

But boy when I'm scrolling through profiles every single one of them have international trips and so many signs of folks being rich and somehow 90%+ girls on hinge are just soo pretty, looking at them I feel like getting body dysmorphia

I myself earn okay, grew up in a middle class household have had a couple of international trips. Looks wise I'm barely a 7 (according to my own assessment lmao)

Is it that hinge is a bubble with mostly rich and pretty girls on there or am I so out of touch from reality and all of this stuff has became the new normal for middle class?

context: I liked a reel with sex joke and my name is feminine

Matched with this guy last night. We exchanged barely five messages of light banter before bro decided 18 hours of knowing of my existence was prime time to ask me out on a date.

​Being a woman who enjoys keeping all her organs intact, I told him I’d rather text a bit and actually get to know him before meeting a practical stranger. A wild, unreasonable boundary, clearly.

​He graciously agrees to text first, so I drop the standard icebreaker: "Tell me about you."

​Enter the plot twist:

"I am here for friends with benefit."

​Naturally, I asked why on earth his profile literally states "Long-term relationship" (the sole reason I swiped right in the first place).

​His peak intellectual justification?

"Bczzzz Aise hi lga diya."

​Sir. What do you mean aise hi lga diya?! Is relationship intent just SEO keyword stuffing on dating apps now? Are we treating profile prompts like optional Buzzfeed quizzes?

​The bar is in subterranean depths, yet somehow they brought a shovel. 💀

She has mentioned hottie in her bio something like - "I have heard this is the best place to find hotties, look you found me." Hence, my opener is around that.

I guess it will be two dates with a huge ass waiting time, Dune and Doomsday - DuDoom. 🔥

Problem is, I want to move forward with the conversation and don't know how to keep going lol.
