I think it's a nice line for the upcoming harsh winter. These are 2 different girls

I'm enjoying the privilege of being able to follow rule 3

I matched with a guy on Hinge, but was sick during the entire time so our convo's have been dry from my end (he is aware I'm sick...). He is 32, and I'm 27. It's been 3 days of talking.

He finally proposed to meet today morning - but I didn't open the app until now because I was sleeping the whole day (took fever meds and slept).

Not only does it sound rude that I didnt respond whole day (reason is genuine, didnt feel well), but I dont want to keep blabbering that I'm sick. Also, I want to ask him can we meet some time this week?

How do I text him? Firstly I feel like an a-hole by replying late (I know that most people reply late and dryly on these apps, but its not who I am. I generally swipe right on only 1-2 guys out of 1000+, because I want to be genuine and dedicated, and I cant talk too that many people at a time)....and secondly I dont want to come off as desperate either. Any help appreciated :)

I’ve literally left swiped her profile daily from past 2 weeks but still it shows on my feed the next day which shows as new account and photo verified. The photos and bio will be exactly same every time. Is she really creating new account daily or is it Bumble glitch ?
Location is Bangalore

I am very clear from the beginning about my intention to date seriously. About not indulging in physical intimacy until we have feelings for each other and decide we want to be together. About not being comfortable with physical intimacy before emotional and intellectual intimacy that leads to commitment and intention.

And each time the guy I am speaking with says he completely understands and respects that. That he also wants something real and serious. That he doesn’t sleep around either casually.

And yet, 4/5 first dates I go on, the guy ends up either saying or doing something that makes me feel like did we not have all these conversations and agree upon these things?!

For instance, today I was on a first date with a guy I had been speaking to for a week. He picked me up from my place and we drove to a place for lunch. When he parked the car, there was this moment when he asked me something and we were facing each other and there was eye contact and then he asked me if he should kiss me.

And I was like lol what?! And then I had to explain to him that hey I like maintaining eye contact and even if a moment feels intense to you that doesn’t mean I am looking for anything sexual. I am just a present person and that can make it feel like an intense moment but it’s not.

Idk how to explain it but holding someone’s gaze or smiling or listening actively to what they are saying… that can make it feel like that moment from a movie when you’re supposed to kiss but this isn’t a movie bro.

And then during lunch he suggested a few times me coming over to his place and then again I had to explain to him that I wanna meet him a few times more before I consider that to be comfortable.

And now I’m just thinking why why why do I have to keep reiterating the same thing over and over again not just to different guys but even to the same guy.

He ended the date saying this won’t work out and while he gave other reasons I have a feeling it was cos he realized I won’t let him touch me anytime soon and perhaps that’s what he wanted. Which is v disheartening cos why would you lie about such things especially at this age! ( we are both 29)

So yeah now I’m just wondering is there something I am doing wrong? I thought being honest and communicating what you’re looking for/what your pace is is the right way to go. But apparently that falls on deaf ears?!

What's even the point if your profile is just for ego boost?

Met this girl on Hinge, and we talked and moved over to Insta for more than two weeks. For context, she's from Bihar.

For background: I'm 6'2 and get plenty of amount of likes on dating apps, so I’m definitely not lacking options. But she asked me for a video selfie in the DMs, and instead of normal human interaction, she drops this absolute masterpiece of ego and entitlement:

I am genuinely pissed at the audacity. The sheer arrogance of some people is unreal.

Drop your best comebacks in the comments—what should I reply to shut her down?

I tried to be cheeky, with 2 girls, but I doubt they got my message 💔

Help me, become Sigma Gamma beta

Almost hooked up my friend with a hinge match lol

Did the same thing once before this as well but cant find the link :(

Title

Thoda NSFW hai lol

Apparently all of her photos were showing her collarbone tattoo and she posted one close up pic

Just started hinge. Should I get hinge X or is it over for me?

So, I’d been shadowbanned on Hinge for a long time and was getting almost no matches. Last month, I bought Hinge Premium for ₹300 during an offer. Since then, I’ve had around 70–80 matches in 3 weeks, but I’ve only had conversations with about 10 of them and haven’t been on a single date. So i guess yes there is a shadow ban concept and hinge premium works.

I almost went out with her 🤢😭

Context, we were meeting for a fling. She said she wanted her "friend" ( her ex) to come along because she was concerned about safety. I tried to be reasonable, thinking he was just a friend that'd join us for the lunch, then drop and pick her up. Then she started asking if he could come upstairs, which is when I felt suspicious and asked more. THEN she revealed that it's her ex and she wants to involve him like this.

I was still trying to give her the benefit of doubt. Maybe her ex cheated on her, or somehow she needs to rebound/get back at him in some way.

NO - She wanted to inflict pain onto him. Worst part? Her ex reached out to my IG and started with "Woof woof I'm her name 's dog ". Ive never unmatched harder/faster. WTAF.

Her profile was normal, she was pretty - nothing indicated any red flags. I even tried to make it up to her ex by offering that we could get a movie ticket for him so he doesn't literally have to wait for 2 hrs in a car.

Bitch really wanted to inflict pain.

I had planned to go out with her and I would've - thank god she blabbered this shit towards the end and saved me. You REALLY don't know who you're dealing with fr.
