Your texting game is good. I would have met up with you after the serial killer chat b/c you seem fun. There was an article posted on here where a chick explained why she used tinder. She rarely made dates when asked and, when she did make a date, she would more likely be a no show. She was afraid of rejection and used it for validation.
Understand that the tinder females are not necessarily high self esteem, etc and they dont know you so there is no real 'rejection' going on. I would say keep tindering as long as you are cool with it - as long as you can stomach it and it is not messing with your head or self esteem.
This! It is great to practice your text game and that is about it...
I stopped using tinder because I know so many women that use it just for validation, like with no intent of anything. It is known as the hookup app, so women know they can get attention there. I will try it again when I am ripped... hopefully 6 months or less
My OLD stories thus far using predominantly OKC and POF...
-probably get 1 in 10 responses, 3 numbers so far. 1 date Sunday... feels flakey, but I got an evening date lined up so no biggie
-can't go for number too early or line will go dead
-If they are really cute, they are flooded with dudes. weird dudes! you have to set yourself apart from the dodo birds.
-Do not chase, your just feeding their ego
-Compliments from women mean nothing on there
-login at good times of day.. bay area seems about 9-11pm...
I have actually had the most luck with coffee meets bagel. Made 3 connections, 2 numbers, and 1 date. Second just connected yesterday. I do this mostly at night for about 20-30 mins before bed. MY text game needs serious work, so it's great practice for me.
