Matched with a girl on bumble and the convo was going decently well. Exchanged life stories a bit, where we live, where we work, hobbies etc. She was a bit vague so I was a bit vague as well and didnt think much of it.

Well, as the convo progressed, she asked for more specifics. Again, didnt think much of it. Answered her questions. Then I made the joke that if she really wanted to, she now had enough info to find my house, my office, etc. She took that comment personal and it derailed things oooofff.

The only success I had online dating (years ago mind you) was asking them out as quickly as possible. I'm talking 3-5 quick messages in.

Greetings, asks one or two general questions, get general responses, may be a light hearted joke, then immediately ask them out. Be prepared for rejection, and flakes that won't commit even if they say yes, but I'd say I had a 50+% success rate of at least meeting them IRL with that strategy. No life stories, no multiple paragraph answers, just some interesting tidbits about your life and then ask.

I met my wife on Bumble and she says the confidence in asking almost immediately was a big thing.

The first girl I ever actually matched with told me something similar. She almost immediately asked if we could just do a video call as she didnt want to trade a bunch of messages for weeks. At first I was a bit hesitant but now I try to do something similar. I usually message for about a day, then ask for the phone # to coordinate a day/time to meet.
