As everyone knows, the state of OLD today is basically millions of guys begging women for attention. Getting abruptly ignored is a pretty regular thing, and even a single response from a hot girl is pretty rare. As a result I very aggressively filter girls to not waste time, and have a really low hit rate.
This conversation happened on Bumble about a month ago.
HB: What are your thoughts on brunch?
Me: Depends; where are you taking me?
No reply.
Well yesterday I was at a bar with some female friends and a girl who looked strangely familiar walks up to me.
HB: “Hey! Don’t I know you?”
Me: “Maybe?”
HB: “Oh yeah! We matched on Bumble!”
Me: “Oh right, you ghosted me!”
HB: “No way!” *laughs*
From there she immediately put her arm around me and looked very highly interested. A few times her bored friend tried to pull her off and failed. Finally she says “OK I have to go back to my friend, but here’s my number.” I tell her “you have a way to contact me already, go respond to my message.” She laughed.
My female friends kept telling me “go after her! You’re gonna lose her!” I told them “if she likes me she’ll be back.” Surely enough, she came back about an hour later and told me she ditched her friend. (Friend: “you were right!” I’m thinking “go read the DJ bible”) We went to a couple more venues and made out, then got food at a diner before I dropped her off at her place.
This girl is very hot and I was surprised she messaged me at all on OLD...but in real life it’s a totally different game. In fact I think she was probably surprised herself at how artificially high her standards are on OLD. If she’s like most girls, you’d have to work to entertain her like a circus monkey to avoid getting ghosted if the IL isn’t high already. So if you don’t know this already, don’t take an OLD rejection personally. That same girl could have a much higher IL in person.
