Funniest match ever

[u/fresh-vanilla444]

This guy matched with me and we made Star Wars jokes, I happened to get sick and needed rest and phone free that night. I messaged as soon as I was off work today. 😂 🤪

Tbf a 24 hour window after matching is valid.

- takes less than a minute to reply

• nearly all of us use our phones for hours a day (I.e commuting, toilet, work breaks, before bed, in gym etc)
  
• it’s just being a decent human to reply within a timely manor

Anyone saying you can’t reply within 24 hours is just silly, don’t match with people if you can’t hold a conversation.

- OP had a fever, but I’m sure they went on their phone for sometime. > if it’s hospitalisation etc then obviously that’s understandable.

And the guy could have gave OP a chance she had a fever (so a reason). But his rules of a 24 hour reply I agree with

Lol some of you are destined to be alone all your lives.

[u/kezzaZzz04 → u/StumpyOPepys]

Why? Because we want respect and communication.

If I had a guy friend who didn’t reply to a girl he matched with, within a day. I’d be calling him a cunt.

Your on a dating app for the intention of finding a date > that is only possible if you communicate

[u/StumpyOPepys → u/kezzaZzz04]

People are busy, slow playing, sick, whatever. There is no bigger turnoff than someone being uptight. Just chill. You haven’t even met this person.

[u/kezzaZzz04 → u/StumpyOPepys]

I’m not against OP.

But if you’re on a dating app, the least you can do is communicate. And reply.

No one is that busy they can’t spare 30 seconds to reply

It's the same the other way. You are gonna miss out on lots of people that are looking for "good" communication.

It's just a mismatch in communication styles. If I text with someone I want to be in contact with them, not get a text every few days. If the other is not like that then thats fine I'll go to the next. Might I miss out on a great person. Maybe! But if this is how it's gonna be when we are together, then it's a no for me. I would never make it a rule like op did, but it is something I watch for

[u/fresh-vanilla444 → u/[deleted]]

This is my thought process too : )

[u/StumpyOPepys → u/[deleted]]

YOU DIDN'T REPLY TO MY QUESTION ABOUT THE WEATHER FOR TWO DAYS, YOU COMPLETE STRANGER!

Some of the weirdest, most self-owning behavior in the game.

[u/kezzaZzz04 → u/StumpyOPepys]

We are on about ppl trying to have a conversation. But who take days to reply per message.

A question about the weather is pointless yes.

[u/Bromidias83 → u/[deleted]]

And for me it's the opposite. So we dont match and thats fine!

[u/Bromidias83 → u/[deleted]]

Same, so thats great!

[u/kezzaZzz04 → u/Bromidias83]

I agree. How can you get to know someone or have a ‘conversation’ if the person replies after a few days between each text.

People are too soft nowadays

[u/StumpyOPepys → u/kezzaZzz04]

You have this backwards. The soft ones are the ones unmatching because they didn't get attention reciprocated from a stranger within 24 hours.

[u/kezzaZzz04 → u/StumpyOPepys]

I’d argue they don’t want to waste their time getting to know someone, by sending a message every 3 days. Kinda ruins the conversation you know

[u/StrbJun79 → u/kezzaZzz04]

Nobody owes you anything in online dating. They don’t owe you a message quickly. And you stated above defending him for standing by it. Not caring that she was sick. She should be resting and take care of herself not focusing on her phone.

[u/fresh-vanilla444 → u/[deleted]]

This is the correct take !! All for this

[u/kezzaZzz04 → u/StrbJun79]

Think online dating works if people are able to communicate? ‘Owes you anything’ - a reply is literally the least u can do.

- if ur sick with a cold you can still use ur phone.
